Top Elopement Packages for Your Perfect Wedding Adventure
Table of Contents
So, you’ve decided to elope. Congratulations!! Eloping gives you the freedom to kick tradition to the curb and plan a day that truly feels like you. No relatives giving you opinions, and no restrictive wedding venue planning your day for you. Eloping is the best way to make sure your wedding is for who it’s supposed to be about…Just the two of you.
But, even eloping comes with a lot of planning that feels overwhelming! It might be tempting to find one of those “all in one” elopement packages in a pretty location, but that just puts you back where you started: having a wedding that doesn’t fit what YOU want.
Enter us! Wandering Weddings. We’re an elopement vendor directory and planning resource that’s a one-stop shop to plan your elopement. But, instead of handing you a prebuilt elopement package with all your decisions made, we want to give you access to amazing qualified vendors so you can curate your own perfect day.
We think there should be a middle ground between researching everything yourself and having a service plan the whole day without letting you make the decisions. If that sounds like you, we’re here to help you build the best elopement package for your wedding day!
