1. Less Stress

Let’s face it- planning a big, all out wedding can be stressful! Getting eloped is minimal planning which also means minimal stress. Who doesn’t love having to make less decisions and having more freedom to make your special day stress free?!

2. Save the Drama for Your Mama

One of the cons to planning most weddings is all the drama that always tends to brew. Drama from who to invite/not invite, bridal party drama, RSVP drama… the list goes on and on. Elopements are drama free!

3. Save Money

We all know how astronomically expensive weddings can be- did you know that the average cost of a wedding in the US is around $35,000? When you elope, you save big money! The kind of big money that can be used in other ways like going on a dream honeymoon adventure or investing in your future as a new couple by buying a home.

4. More Intimate and Personal

A lot of times, it can be a lot of pressure to have all eyes on you (the love birds) all day & night at a wedding. Elopements are so much more intimate and relieve that overwhelming feeling of having an audience. Having an audience works for some couples beautifully, but it’s not everyone’s jam.

5. Turn it into an Adventure! 

An elopement can be the adventure of a lifetime! The possibilities are endless for making this day a one of a kind experience. Whether the adventure be a trip to one of your favorite locations, place you first met, or at a cabin in the woods, it will be the most magical day!

6. Photos & Memories 

Don’t get me wrong, wedding photography is absolutely stunning, timeless, and classic. However, elopement photography opens up an entire new world for creativity! Instead of the classic wedding poses and family portraits, you can take photos that really capture you as a couple that are more authentic to your personalities! Of course you’ll still get those wonderful classic photos, but it will be so fun to spice the gallery up with some more customized shots as well.
