Reasons why you should elope

Save your money or save it for what is important to you!

It’s true, especially if you keep your guest count to a minimum you can save a lot more money or stretch your money further if you choose to elope. With extra cash you can truly spend it on what matters most to you, whether its a nice hotel, attire, a photographer, food, or airfare.

Simplify your decisions

Weddings are a huge event, that takes a lot of planning, coordinating, and emotional strength. Not saying that elopements don’t have their fair share of tasks, but when there are less moving parts, there are less anxiety filled days leading up to your special day. While delegating tasks to wedding planners and family members can be helpful, sometimes just handling it yourself is more straight forward.

Intimacy, live in the moment

There’s nothing more intimate than sharing your vows and moments with just your SO and/or a few close friends and family. You are not overwhelmed by the logistics of the day and can relish in the moments shared.

Enjoy exploring somewhere new, or not

You can elope anywhere! Whether you want to explore the deserts of Marrakesh, Morocco or just stay somewhere local, the decision is up to you and its achievable.

More get togethers

Not one, or two, but three events if you want! Take it from me, who had 3 events for my nuptials, planning to elope gives you the flexibility to be creative. If you crave a ton of ideas, eloping may just give you the opportunity to a little bit of each.
