YOU DO YOU, but here for the start up line



1. Define Your Vision:

  • Discuss your vision for the elopement or micro wedding. Consider the atmosphere, location, and overall vibe you want to create.
  • Decide if you prefer a simple, intimate ceremony or a slightly larger gathering with close friends and family.

2. Choose a Meaningful Location:

  • Select a location that holds significance for both of you or reflects your personalities. This could be a picturesque outdoor setting, cottage or winery, a charming cityscape, or even your own backyard.
  • Consider the logistics and accessibility of the location, especially if you're traveling or inviting guests.

3. Determine Your Budget:

  • Set a budget for your elopement or micro wedding and prioritize spending on elements that matter most to you.
  • Remember that eloping or having a micro wedding can be more cost-effective than a traditional wedding, but expenses can still add up, especially if you're planning to travel, stay in hotel or hire vendors.

4. Plan the Ceremony:

  • Decide on the type of ceremony you want – whether it's a simple exchange of vows, a personalized ceremony officiated by a friend or family member, or a religious ceremony.
  • Consider incorporating meaningful rituals or traditions that resonate with you as a couple.
  • Keep the ceremony short and sweet to maintain the intimacy of the occasion.

5. Personalize the Details:

  • Infuse personal touches into the elopement or micro wedding to make it uniquely yours. This could include writing your own vows, choosing meaningful music, or incorporating special keepsakes into the ceremony.
  • Don't be afraid to get creative and think outside the box – your wedding day should reflect your personalities and love story.

6. Hire Necessary Vendors:

  • Depending on your preferences and budget, consider hiring vendors such as a photographer, florist, officiant, and musician or DJ.
  • Look for vendors who specialize in elopements or intimate weddings and share your vision for the day.
  • If you're eloping in a destination location, research local vendors or consider hiring professionals who offer elopement packages.

7. Obtain Legal Requirements:

  • Research the legal requirements for getting married in your chosen location, including obtaining a marriage license and any necessary permits.
  • Allow enough time to complete any paperwork and fulfill legal obligations before the elopement or micro wedding.

8. Communicate with Loved Ones:

  • Decide how you want to involve friends and family in your elopement or micro wedding. You may choose to elope privately and share the news afterward, or invite a select few loved ones to witness the ceremony.
  • Be sensitive to the feelings of family and friends who may not be present and consider ways to involve them in the celebration, such as sharing photos or hosting a reception later.

9. Plan for the Post-Ceremony Celebration:

  • After the ceremony, celebrate your newlywed status with a romantic dinner, a picnic, champagne toast, or simply a beer at the pub next door.
  • Consider hiring a private chef or booking a table at a favorite restaurant for an intimate dining experience.
  • If you're inviting guests, plan a small reception or gathering to celebrate with loved ones.

10. Focus on Each Other:

  • Above all, focus on each other and the commitment you're making. Take time to savor the moment and create lasting memories together.
  • Embrace the intimacy and spontaneity of eloping or having a micro wedding, and cherish the opportunity to celebrate your love in a meaningful way.

Remember, there's no right or wrong way to elope or have a micro wedding – the most important thing is to do what feels right for you as a couple. Enjoy the journey of planning your special day and creating memories that will last a lifetime!
