Small Weddings, Beautiful Memories: Intimate Weddings & Elopements on the Fleurieu Peninsula
Who says a beautiful wedding has to be a big one?
Sometimes the most memorable celebrations are the smallest. The people who matter most, a beautiful setting, exceptional food and the freedom to make the day entirely your own.
At Merilli1885, we believe there’s something rather special about keeping things intimate.
A place to make your own
Nestled within 90 acres of beautiful Fleurieu countryside at Currency Creek, our lovingly restored 1885 stone cottage and contemporary extension offer an intimate, private setting for couples seeking something a little different.
Ancient gums, open paddocks, heritage stonework and the changing colours of the countryside provide a naturally beautiful backdrop, without the need for grand gestures.
Whether you’re dreaming of an elopement for two or a small gathering with your closest family and friends, Merilli1885 offers a setting that feels entirely yours.
A wedding that’s about you
We are developing a collection of intimate wedding and elopement experiences for couples who value beautiful simplicity, individuality and meaningful moments.
Our proposed celebrations cater for the couple and up to 15 guests, with a minimum two-night stay to give you time to arrive, settle in and enjoy the occasion without feeling rushed.
Imagine exchanging vows beneath the gums, celebrating over a beautifully prepared meal and spending your wedding night in the privacy of our luxury accommodation.
No crowds. No competing celebrations. Just your day, your way.
Thoughtful details, beautifully considered
One of the pleasures of a smaller wedding is the opportunity to make every detail count.
We work with a carefully selected group of trusted suppliers who understand our property and share our approach to personal, thoughtful hospitality.
From celebrants and professional photography to exceptional private dining, flowers, hair and makeup, we can help coordinate the details that make your celebration feel uniquely yours.
Our local connections, together with suppliers who know the property, help make planning that little bit easier.
More than a wedding day
Why rush away when you could stay a little longer?
Begin your celebration with a leisurely morning overlooking the paddocks. Explore nearby Port Elliot, Goolwa or the McLaren Vale wine region. Enjoy time together before and after your wedding, away from the demands of everyday life.
With two beautifully appointed king suites, each with its own private bathroom, Merilli1885 accommodates up to four adults overnight.
It’s an opportunity to turn your wedding into a beautiful little escape.
Something small. Something special. Something entirely yours.
