WHAT IS A LUXURY ELOPEMENT?
A luxury elopement is a unique wedding experience that takes the convenience and cost-effectiveness of an elopement and merges it with breathtaking locations, opulent details, and luxurious accommodations for a wedding and honeymoon in one.
WHO IS INVOLVED?
A luxury elopement focuses solely on the couple, with 100% of the spending and planning going towards the wedding experience of the bride and groom. Some couples do choose to bring witnesses when they elope, but most prefer the advantages of going alone since the honeymoon is a large part of the luxury elopement experience.
WHY PLAN A LUXURY ELOPEMENT?
Most of the costs of a traditional wedding are associated with the guests' experience – inviting them, providing them with food and drink, gifting them with favors, entertaining them with music. The cost for even a modest ceremony and reception can be a shock to the average couple, and the stress of trying to please two families can be debilitating. A luxury elopement allows you to create an amazing wedding experience without compromising or overspending. Visit our costs page for more info.
