A modern elopement at Spruce Knob in West Virginia

A common misconception about elopements is you can’t invite family and we’re here to share that this is simply not true!

People choose to elope for a variety of reasons and to some, having family present is a top priority. Our all-inclusive packages include planning for guests but if you’re going the DIY route here are our top tips for inviting guests to your elopement:

1) scope the parking situation and make sure the parking areas can accommodate everyone’s cars. Or carpool if necessary.

2) take into account your guests physical capabilities and if the trail to your ceremony is passable for all skill levels.

3) encourage a color scheme for your guests outfits if you want cohesive photos. Earthy neutrals always photograph well.

4) have an exit plan. Meaning- you’ll most likely want private couple photos with your photographer/videographer after your ceremony so it’ll be helpful to communicate to your guests what time they should exit the area.

If the DIY route is not your jam, we’d love to help you out with our elopement packages where we do everything for you! Get in touch with us here to talk about your dream elopement.
