Marry with nobody watching
Elope to a caldera terrace in Santorini with only the two of you there. Tell us where you picture it, and we plan it quietly for you.
It comes off your final price, and is refunded in full if you don't go ahead.
Somewhere far enough that nobody drops in, and beautiful enough that the photographs tell the story for you.
A terrace on the caldera rim at sunset, when the light makes any guest list feel unnecessary.
Vineyards and clifftops over the Bay of Naples, with a film crew for the family watching from home.
A rooftop in Florence or a painted hall in Venice, then dinner where nobody knows your names.
An adults-only island, a beach in the Yasawas or the Coral Coast, and a legal licence visitors can apply for.
Jungle above Ubud's river valleys, with the honeymoon starting in the same villa that night.
Our guide to 20 places couples run away to, if none of these feels like yours.
Eloping does not have to mean nobody. It means you choose, and nobody else does.
This decides the paperwork, the dates and sometimes the country. Most couples keep it simple: the ceremony abroad is symbolic, and they sign at a registry at home before or after they fly.
Everything that turns a trip into a wedding is booked before you land, so the day asks nothing of you.
Real elopements we have published, and the places couples chose.
An intimate ceremony at Villa Cimbrone, high above the sea.
A wedding built around feeling, not tradition, on the shores of the lake.
A year of planning a Texas wedding, dropped for two people and the Irish coast.
The calmest weeks matter for an outdoor ceremony. Fiji's cyclone season runs from November to April (Fiji Meteorological Service), and Bali's wet season from about November to March (Indonesia's weather agency, BMKG).
Once it is done, share the news, the photos and the plan for a party back home.
Your photos, your story and a note for the people who were not there.
Invite family and friends to celebrate once you are back, with RSVP built in.
For two people, the photographer matters more than ever. Browse the ones who work where you are going.
Elopement photographers who know the light and the quiet spots.
An artist who comes to your room on the morning.
Seasons, legal basics and the places couples elope most.
The celebrations that come after an elopement, planned by the same team.
Stay on where you married, or fly somewhere new the next morning.
Say it again in a few years, this time with the family in the front row.
Go back to the same terrace or beach, a year or ten on.
Planning in secret is normal here. Tell us how to reach you, and we use only that.
1. Your advisor replies the way you asked: by email or phone, never both, with a few questions about when, where and whether it is legal. 2. A first call, when it suits you: twenty minutes about the place, who will be there and how you will tell people. 3. Your shortlist, in writing: two or three venues free on your date, what each includes, and the documents you need. 4. We hold your date: the venue, the celebrant and the photographer are confirmed, and every detail sits in one place. 5. The day itself: a coordinator meets you, the photographer is ready, and the only thing left is to say it.
Tell us roughly when, where you picture it and how you would like us to reach you.
