WHY ELOPE?

Don't have a big budget, but still want a beautiful wedding? The 2025 national average cost of a wedding is $36K, and couples spend most of their time on their wedding day greeting their guests and barely see each other.  If that's not your dream, then an elopement or micro-wedding might be for you. 

MICRO -WEDDING TREND

 Elopements and Micro Weddings are more intimate & focused around you and your love. There are NO rules here.   It can be just the two of you or with lots of guests.  Pets are always welcome too!
