about louise
Hello! I’m Louise
I am the dog-loving, sunset-chasing, to do list-making, romantic at the heart of Runaway Romance. Six years ago, I took the leap and took over Runaway Romance, and what an adventure it’s been! Each day, I get to bring people together in unique, soul-stirring ways, and I’ve loved every minute of it.
When the pandemic lockdown brought life to a halt, I knew I wanted to do more. Becoming a registered Civil Union marriage officer felt like a natural next step, so now, not only do I get to help you plan your day—I also get to help you say “I do”. This allows me to craft and lead ceremonies for the incredible couples I meet, getting share their love stories through creating a ceremony that feels true and heartfelt.
Living in one of the world’s most beautiful countries, I’m constantly exploring, discovering new places, and finding those perfect hidden gems where your love story can unfold. I love researching new places and unique ideas and am always open to yours. From the moment we say hello to the moment you say “I do,” I’m here every step of the way.
If you need someone who is straightforward, and always in your corner (and good at keeping people out of your way on your wedding day), then I’m your person!
If you’re ready to make your love story into a one-of-a-kind adventure, I’d love to help you make it happen.
