ELOPEMENTS ARE SWEET AND EASY!

Why would you want to elope instead of having a large ceremony? Over the years, we’ve helped more and more couples cross the threshold into marriage by eloping. Often it’s only the two of them present. Or, they include an intimate gathering with only the closest members of their family and perhaps a few of their innermost circle of friends. Eloping is a unique and personal way to celebrate your love the day you say your  “I do’s.”

There are many advantages to having a small intimate ceremony:

  • Easier to plan: Coordinating a large event can be overwhelming, but a smaller, intimate ceremony simplifies the process.

  • Less expensive: Smaller gatherings mean fewer vendors and less need for a large venue, significantly reducing costs.

  • More privacy: Couples often find that eloping allows for a more personal and meaningful experience without the pressure of a large audience.

  • Unique settings: Smaller ceremonies can take place in more unique and meaningful locations, whether it's with "toes in the sand," amidst a Redwood Forest, or in a romantic indoor setting.

  • Travel possibilities: With fewer people involved, it's easier to plan a ceremony in a beautiful remote location, making the experience even more special.

When a couple decides to join together in marriage, it stems from a deep desire to deepen their commitment and acknowledge the love they share. Making promises to continue growing together throughout the years is a profound step. It’s always an honor to guide couples through this important moment in their lives, helping to bring more love into the world.

We can help with ideas for a beautiful, yet Sweet and Easy Elopement. Let’s chat about what you want and how we can help make this happen.
