Welcome to the Prep Hub

An elopement is a small intimate wedding ceremony with only the couple and a few important people there to make it all happen - the celebrant, planner, and perhaps a photographer and videographer.

While elopements tend to be an intimate event for just the couple themselves, you could also choose to have a handful of your closest friends and family present with you as witnesses to your special day.

The ceremonies we tend to organize are classified as symbolic ceremonies or blessings, which are not legally binding. However, we have been able to also organize legal ceremonies for our couples in certain cases.

Please note: It’s not easy to get legally married in a foreign country. In many countries, an official marriage ceremony is not possible unless you are a resident or have been working there for a certain amount of time. Not having to work out the legalities of a specific country, translating documents, and having a standard official ceremony without your own touch, are just some of the reasons why we encourage our couples to go with the symbolic ceremony instead of an official one. Can’t decide? Read more about what type of ceremony is right for you.

The duration of the elopement experience depends on the type of elopement you choose.

The Standard Elopement Package which you can modify as you wish, is a 4-hour event that includes at least two different locations and all of your essential vendors.

The Premium Elopement Experience, on the other hand, is a 2-day event, which besides the elopement day includes a full itinerary for the day before or after the elopement where you can enjoy an additional couple’s photoshoot. This is an especially popular add-on for couples looking to have a photoshoot on their honeymoon.

The Elopement Package incudes full wedding planning- timeline, team & location, coordination on the day, a wedding celebrant and a customised ceremony, a 4-hour photography session, a flower bouquet and buttonhole, exclusive locations, venue and accommodation recommendations as well as a Dream Team of excellent local vendors.

The Premium Elopement Experience includes a two-day itinerary creation, including accommodation, restaurant, and activity recommendations. The Experience comes with not one but two photoshoots but with a hair and makeup artist. You’ll also receive art direction and styling by world-renowned photographers, whho we’ll fly into your elopement destination. We’ll connect you with premium vendors and book for you a dream location - ie. castles, historical venues such as an ancient theatre or iconic opera house.

Yes! You’re very welcome to add the extra services of your liking, including videography, hair and make-up artist, extra hours of photography, private transport, and location-specific activities such as a boat or a helicopter ride, vintage car, picnic setup, etc. 

Ask your wedding planner about the extra services available in your destination!

In order to book your elopement, we’ll require a signed contract as well as a booking deposit which starts from €1,500 but could be higher based on several factors. If your booking is less than 6 months away, we’ll ask for two payment installments (the deposit and balance) however if your booking is further away, we could arrange three installments (the deposit and two other installments).

The payment installment depends on several factors such as the season, vendor availability, and proximity to the elopement date. Please check our Booking and Payment Terms here.

We recommend booking between 1 year and 6 months before the elopement date. However, with popular locations in high season, we’d recommend booking as early as possible so that we can secure the date and location of your choosing.

As we have years of experience, we’ve also been able to plan a wedding in just 24 hours, however, it’s not something we’d recommend as it such weddings feel quite hectic.
