child-free couples

Otherwise known as DINKYS (stands for "dual income no kids yet" - acronym used to describe couples with money to spend on exciting things like holidays as opposed to nappies and childcare).

Child-free should not be confused with childless couples which has a totally different meaning.

Childless couple

Another suggestion
Peer comment(s):

disagree Rita Bilancio : here it doesn't mean that they have no children in this at all but that they don't bring their children with them. I know what childless means.

Sorry but I disagree with your disagreement! Your interpretation is wrong and would not be used in the circumstance you describe. Childless couple is a commonly used term for a couple who have not had children.
