Why Choose Adventure Elopement Instead of a Big Wedding?
Everybody wants their wedding day to be special, but somewhere along the way, the wedding industry started churning out cookie-cutter ceremonies and celebrations. Nobody wants their special day to be just like everyone else’s, and that’s why more couples are beginning to choose adventure elopement over big traditional weddings. Let’s talk about it!
What is An Adventure Elopement?
First up, let’s discuss what it means to choose adventure elopement. When traditional weddings have been all you are used to, any kind of elopement might be considered adventurous, so what specifically makes it an adventure elopement? One of the key characteristics, when you choose adventure elopement, is a more outdoorsy theme and location. Think mountaintops, exotic beaches, spectacular waterfalls, or maybe even a wedding ceremony on a glacier! We are talking about venues that are a little bit more exciting and a little bit outside of the norm!
Who Should Choose Adventure Elopement?
The next thing to talk about is who should choose adventure elopement? Big weddings are not for everyone, which is why eloping is becoming so much more popular.

The couples who want something more adventurous are going to be those who are adventurous in their everyday lives and hobbies. These are the type of couples who have a passion for travel, and who enjoy hiking, discovering new places, or other exciting outdoor pursuits.
