5 Reasons why couples choose a Queentown elopement ceremony

An elopement wedding ceremony is just you two, your witnesses, and possibly a handful of guests. Elopement ceremonies are becoming increasingly popular and more widely accepted now than ever before. There are many reasons couples choose a Queenstown elopement ceremony over an all singing all dancing wedding…

 

1. An elopement ceremony is more intimate

At an elopement ceremony you have a really strong connection with everyone present on your wedding day. This is extremely intimate and humbling.

 

2. Save $$$$ with an elopement

Elopements are generally cheaper than larger weddings simply due to smaller numbers. For an elegant elopement think less is more. Elopements are a great option for destination weddings when the travel and accommodation costs eat up a lot of the wedding budget.

 

3. Stress free eloping

If you’re shy or private, then an elopement ceremony is perfect for you. With a smaller audience made up of close family and friends you’ll be much less nervous or stressed. Also, express any of these concerns to your wedding celebrant so that you’re comfortable and relaxed on your big day.

 

4. Elope and then enjoy!

You’ll also be able to take more time to enjoy the other elements of your big day such as your photography session and reception dinner.
