Yara + Eileen

It may seem like people aren’t eloping anymore. If you look and ask around, it seems like no one is doing or its happening very quietly. Your friend goes on vacation and comes back married and no one ever knew, right? Ironically, the less you hear about them, the more they occur and its paradoxically by design. If you are wedding planning and not sure if having a large “traditional” wedding is for you or if you want to elope instead, this is for you. A few benefits of eloping or having a small or private wedding ceremony include:

Intimacy: Eloping allows for a more intimate and personal experience. With fewer people present, the focus is solely on the couple, creating a special and close-knit atmosphere.
Flexibility in Location: Eloping provides the flexibility to choose a location that is meaningful to the couple, whether it's a destination they've always wanted to visit or a place with sentimental value. This can add a special and unique element to the wedding.
More Time for Each Other: With a smaller ceremony, the couple has more time to spend together on their wedding day. This can be particularly valuable for those who want to focus on the significance of the moment and each other.
Less Pressure: There can be societal or family expectations associated with traditional weddings. Eloping can alleviate the pressure to conform to these expectations, allowing the couple to prioritize their own wishes and preferences.
