QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

01

What is the difference between an elopement and a micro wedding?

02

Why should we plan an elopement or micro wedding?

Your wedding day should be an authentic reflection of who you are as a couple. Planning an intimate wedding gives you the freedom to design your dream day on a smaller scale, without any of the fuss or distractions. If you’re envisioning an authentic celebration filled with romance, adventure and meaningful moments, an elopement or micro wedding is the perfect path for you. What better way to celebrate your love than sharing an unforgettable experience with your favourite people (or just the two of you!) in a breathtaking location?
