Have a backyard party.
Transform a backyard or public park into a charming wedding venue. A simple yet elegant altar and seating for close family and friends can set the scene.
Consider a potluck-style reception or affordable local catering options. With DIY decorations and a small floral arrangement, you can infuse personal touches without breaking the bank.
Online Wedding
One of the best elopement options is to have an online wedding.
Online elopements can be significantly more affordable than traditional in-person ceremonies. Couples can save on venue costs, travel expenses, accommodation, and other associated expenses, making it an attractive option for those on a budget.
You can include way more people in an online elopement than you would be able to for an in-person event.
That's particularly helpful if you're been in a long-distance relationship, and have people scattered around the world you'd want to invite.
Go to City Hall
Choose a city hall or courthouse for an economical yet meaningful civil ceremony. Keep the guest list modest, inviting immediate family or a few close friends.
After the ceremony, explore the city for an affordable meal at a local restaurant or host a casual gathering at home. This option allows for a focus on the beauty of the commitment rather than the extravagance of the event.
Plan a Destination Elopement
If you love to travel-or if you and your partner live in different countries-consider a destination wedding. Select a nearby budget-friendly destination that holds significance for both of you.
Reserve a small vacation rental or Airbnb that can serve as both the wedding venue and lodging for a handful of guests.
Host an intimate ceremony and reception at the rental and arrange a simple dinner at a local restaurant or a catered meal. This way, you can blend a bit of travel and celebration without breaking the bank.
Go Up High
Choose a rooftop venue in your city for a unique and intimate wedding experience. Rooftop spaces often offer beautiful views of the city skyline, providing a picturesque backdrop for your ceremony.
Keep the guest list small and decorate the rooftop with twinkling lights, flowers, and simple seating. After the ceremony, you can have a cozy dinner or drinks with your loved ones at a nearby rooftop restaurant.
