One of the most intimidating aspects of eloping is narrowing down where everything should take place. Since you don’t need a traditional wedding venue, you have the entire world to choose from! As amazing as this is, if your travel bucket list looks endless, then the overwhelm is real. Here’s a step-by-step process that will help you narrow down your choices to the perfect spot to say your “I dos”!

With a quick search online, it’s easy to tell what most wedding vendors think of elopements, but what about real couples? Did they have any challenges planning or regret afterward? What did they love about eloping, and would they do anything differently? I was curious, too, so I surveyed the couples I’ve worked with in the past to find their answers. Here they are – completely unfiltered!

There are so many posts about why you should elope from elopement photographers (guilty: see my list of reasons to elope here), but not nearly as many include what you might miss out on if you choose to elope or vice versa. In this post, you’ll be able to compare weddings and elopement in every way imaginable — from insight into what kind of experience you’ll have on the day of to the planning and to the preparation required.

Adventure elopements have been shaking up the wedding industry for the last few years. One of the best parts? There are no rules to them. This is great and fun when dreaming, but unpractical when wading through an overwhelming number of options. Use this blog as your starting point and your ceremony plans will begin to take shape!

Eloping used to mean running away and quickly getting married without permission, but so much has changed. Today, eloping means celebrating your commitment to one another in a more intimate and meaningful way – with or without guests and planned anywhere from months or weeks in advance.

Enough of the strained wedding planning conversations! It’s totally normal to have differing visions for your wedding day, but it doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other. With a little out-of-the-box thinking, you can have the elopement of your dreams while still giving your partner the wedding details that matter most to them. Below is a step-by-step process to combine your ideals.

Congrats on choosing to elope! It’s a big decision and it takes guts to do the unexpected, buck tradition, and forge your own path.

Now that you’ve decided on eloping, one of the many benefits is having tons more time to enjoy your guests and new spouse’s presence than you would in a traditional wedding. Aside from potentially doing the typical things like first looks, dancing, or hosting a dinner reception afterward, what will you do with all the extra time on your elopement day?

Planning your wedding day is anything but private, right!? Everyone is excited for you, they want to hear about your plans, and, of course, offer their unsolicited advice.

If you aren’t whole-heartedly sold on hosting a large wedding, this only adds to the pressure. You’re likely already questioning if planning a wedding is worth the cost and effort, but you’re also wondering if you’ll regret eloping.

There are so many reasons to elope, including creating a unique experience and lower costs than traditional weddings. But how much does it cost to create a really memorable elopement?

Much like weddings, which cost an average of $34,000, elopement costs vary. Below you’ll find a list of everything necessary, as well as some optional add-ons.
