All Inclusive Elopement Packages for Easy Wedding Planning
One of the reasons couples choose to elope is to keep things simple. The thought of planning a big traditional wedding is overwhelming. With an elopement, there are fewer things to take care of. However, if you are particularly short on time the idea of one-stop-shop wedding planning may be appealing. That’s where all inclusive elopement packages come in!
What Are All Inclusive Elopement Packages?
All inclusive elopement packages more or less provide everything that the average traditional wedding package would, but on a smaller scale. You should essentially be able to turn up on the day with your wedding license and get married! An added benefit of using an elopement package is that it will save you money. The average cost of a traditional wedding is approximately $25,000. If we compare that to all inclusive elopement packages the average cost is $2,500. That’s a saving of 90% on the cost of the wedding. It is even possible to find packages for less saving even more money. Each elopement package will vary depending on the vendor and location, but the features you might find included in an all inclusive elopement include:
- Wedding Ceremony & Officiant
- Ceremony Venue
- Venue Flowers & Décor
- Professional Photography
- 1 to 3 Night Stays aka “Minimoons”
- A Celebratory Toast & Wedding Cake
- Breakfast
- Wedding Night Dinner
Why All Inclusive Elopement Packages are Great
Did you know? Planning your wedding is one of the most stressful things you will have to do during your lifetime! With an all inclusive package it doesn’t have to be. The beauty of these packages is that most, if not all, of the planning, is done for you. The vendor already has all of the things they need such as a venue, officiant, decor, and often an on-site photographer. All you have to do is turn up with your chosen attire and a valid marriage license and your wedding is already there waiting for you! Some packages may even include filing your license! It takes all of the stress out of your big day making it so much more enjoyable.
So many of the couples who find themselves here at WhereToElope.com have already tried planning the big white wedding only to cancel it all when they realized the toll it was taking on them and on their relationship. All inclusive elopement packages allow you to pick a location, choose a date and get married! And you get a mini-honeymoon too! It’s a win-win situation!
