Elopements & Micro Weddings

These days, an “elopement” doesn’t necessarily involve running off to get secretly hitched in Vegas. Many couples are choosing to have small, intimate ceremonies with no guests, or with only a few family members present.

The small guest count means these elopements can take place in stunning locations, like on a mountaintop at sunrise or riding in a hot air balloon.

I work with my eloping couples in advance to design an experience that reflects their values and personalities.

Just like with larger weddings, I work with my eloping couples in advance to design an experience that reflects their values and personalities.

If desired, elopements can include:

• Personal contributions from your small group of guests

• Readings of messages from family members not present

• Personalized vows

• Unity Ceremonies of various kinds, including handfasting, wine blending, creating a time capsule, etc.

• An extended photoshoot with your photographer

• A larger reception later that night, or a vow renewal party the following year!
