Welcome to the Elopement Library!

But don't worry … you don't have to be quiet here!

See, when it comes to eloping there are no rules*.

You get to do this thing in the way that you want, in the place that you want, with the people you want. How cool is that?

I know planning an elopement or micro wedding can be incredibly overwhelming which is why I've curated this massive list of articles and guides to help get you started!

Questions? See something I missed? Want me to help you plan your own elopement? Get in touch! I'm here to help you every step of the way!

* Ok, there are a few rules! Like, make sure to Leave No Trace and follow any local land regulations. I mean there are no WEDDING type rules!
