WHAT IS AN ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT?
Adventure elopements are a relatively new-ish way to get married, which makes it a little harder to find information on - so I’m glad you’re here because I wrote this with you in mind!
Adventure elopements are weddings that take place in stunning locations, with just the two of you or a very select group of your nearest and dearest in attendance, complete with the best activities you can dream up for your ideal day, without all the fanfare of a big, traditional wedding,

Adventure elopements can happen anywhere. Seriously - you get to pick anywhere in the world that you can dream up to be the backdrop for your wedding. When you decide to elope, your options are pretty much endless when it comes to potential place to say your “I dos”.

Adventure elopements can be a helicopter ride to a glacier in Alaska, a moody walk on the beach through the forest in the Pacific Northwest, a road trip to drive up overlook view points in a National Park - they can be simple, exciting, chill or complex - your job is to decide what would be perfect for you both.
You also get to decide if you want to invite anyone at all, or if you want this to be a totally private and super intimate experience for just you two. Couples who elope have a solo adventure a lot of the time, but you can absolutely invite just your siblings, or all 4 parents, or you can just bring your 2 very best friends. It’s totally up to you and there is no need to extend an invite to your mom’s coworker like there might be with a big wedding.
