The definition of elopement has changed significantly over the past decade. It used to mean a secretive act where a couple would run off together on a whim.

While that might have been true in the 90s, today’s elopements are seen as a more personal, intimate, and meaningful way for a couple to celebrate their wedding day, often with up to 15 of their closest family and friends.

I could list countless reasons to choose eloping, but I’ll keep it simple with the three most popular:

1. The “just us” experience – Eloping lets you ditch societal expectations, eliminate stress, and create a day that’s entirely about your love and connection with your partner.
2. Authenticity – Unlike traditional weddings filled with timelines and pressure, elopements strip away distractions, allowing you to focus on the true purpose of your day in an authentic and meaningful way.
3. Intimate and intentional moments – Big weddings rarely allow for these moments. With an elopement, you can share genuine, heartfelt experiences with your partner and loved ones without the rush or overwhelm of a large crowd.

Choosing to elope allows your wedding day to be entirely about you and your partner.

You can design a day that truly reflects your relationship and who you are as individuals.

Say goodbye to expectations, societal pressure, and the stress of planning a big wedding you’re not even sure you want.

Instead, you can focus on your connection and fully embrace every moment of your special day.
