Planning an Adventure Elopement
What is an Adventure Elopement?
Adventure elopements are favored by couples who like a little excitement in their lives. They are usually popular among outdoorsy types often in exotic or difficult to reach locations. Think about a wedding at the top of a mountain, or on a breathtaking Alaskan glacier. Far-flung destinations might prove tricky right now thanks to global travel restrictions. However there are plenty of locations across the United States that offer adventure elopements.
Planning Your Elopement
I recently read an article on Brides.com about planning adventure elopements. It did offer a great overview of what this type of wedding is about. As a result, it seemed a little biased towards the high-end elopement packages. One of the main reasons to elope continues to be to save money! I think it is important to make it clear that if you want to add a touch of adventure to your wedding it is possible regardless of your budget.
That article heavily promotes using the services of a wedding planner to help create this type of elopement. However, in this instance, that can often be an unnecessary expense. In some cases, it can be useful if specific use permits are required. As a result, many of our vendors offer complete adventure packages with everything taken care of already. For example, the Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas, Nevada offers several packages at the Grand Canyon including helicopter tours.
