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!
