Eloping is Fun are amazing!

From the moment we started planning our elopement in New York City, the entire team made us feel supported, excited, and totally at ease. Becca, our planner, was absolutely amazing. She handled every detail and made the whole process effortless. Matt, our officiant, was perfect and made our vows feel so personal and special. Jonica, our photographer, WOW, she captured every single moment beautifully, from the big smiles to the little in-between moments that make the day truly memorable.

Peter, our vintage cab driver, was incredible and so knowledgeable about the city. He made our taxi rides not just transportation, but part of the experience. Josh, our videographer, was flawless, capturing the day perfectly, and the pianist added the exact right mood to our ceremony. Every single member of the team went above and beyond to make the day magical.

The whole experience felt completely “us.” From laughing together while navigating busy streets in our wedding outfits to grabbing a slice of pizza right before saying our vows, every moment was authentic and fun. We haven’t stopped talking about our elopement since we booked it and would recommend it to anyone considering skipping a traditional wedding for something personal, stress-free, and unforgettable.

Choosing to elope was the best decision we could have made. It let us focus entirely on each other, soak up every moment, and create memories that are completely ours. If you want a day that’s joyful, unique, and full of love, this team is everything you could hope for.

Avila Ever After

I honestly can’t express how amazing our wedding was! Eloping is Fun made everything absolutely seamless from start to finish.

Becca, our incredible guru, was truly a gem — always checking in, following up on every detail, and even helping us coordinate hair and makeup trials leading up to the big day. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly. The itineraries she created for both us and our guests were thoughtful, organized, and made the day flow effortlessly.

We had such a great time with Jenny during our photo session before the ceremony. She instantly understood us as a couple and took us to the most perfect spots that really reflected our personalities. The ceremony itself couldn’t have been more beautiful — with the city as our natural backdrop, it felt magical. Jenny captured every moment, every smile, every family member — she even stopped traffic to get the perfect shot!

And Joel, our officiant, was the perfect choice! We chose him for his unique style and fun energy, and he completely exceeded our expectations. He took the stories we each sent him and wove them together beautifully, sharing them with our family before our vows. It was heartfelt, personal, and just the right touch of humor — absolutely perfect for us.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you to the entire Eloping is Fun team for making our day unforgettable! Xoxox

Absolutely magical experience!

Eloping is Fun made our special day feel incredibly personal, seamless, and—true to their name—so much fun. From the start, the team was prompt, responsive, and totally accommodating. They created a custom itinerary that included everything we hoped for, and they delivered on every detail.

They also gave us amazing recommendations for hair, makeup, florals, and cake, which made planning so much easier—we didn’t have to put sweat and tears into pulling everything together. It felt like we had a built-in support team who truly cared about making our day stress-free and beautiful.

On the big day, we had our dream photos taken at the Metropolitan Museum, hopped into a vintage taxi for some classic NYC shots, and exchanged our vows in a quiet, romantic spot in Central Park near Glen Span Arch. The whole day felt like a fairytale.

One heads-up: if you're choosing multiple photo locations (totally worth it!), be ready to move! I'm so glad I wore sneakers under my dress—highly recommend that little trick.

We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're considering eloping in NYC, this is the team you want by your side.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ OVER-THE-TOP AMAZING – Our NYC Elopement Was Pure Magic!

Where do I even begin?! If you're dreaming of an unforgettable, joy-filled, stress-free wedding day that feels like something out of a movie — stop right here. Eloping Is Fun is everything you’re hoping for and more. Jenny, the brilliant owner, and her extraordinary team made our entire experience truly magical from start to finish.

From our very first call, we knew we were in the best hands. Becca, our coordinator and all-around wedding fairy godmother, is a total rockstar. She didn’t just plan our wedding day — she created a full-on experience. From perfectly orchestrating our 7-hour tour of NYC to helping us plan the ideal pre-wedding events, she made every moment sparkle.

Before the big day, Becca helped us organize a fabulous dinner and tickets to Drag! The Musical — the perfect Off-Broadway show that was so us, it felt like she plucked it straight from our brains. Her recommendations for the rest of our trip were equally spot-on — fun, unique, and full of heart.

On the big day, we adventured through NYC like VIPs: Central Park, Top of the Rock, the majestic New York Public Library, the historic Stonewall Inn, and a sweet stop at Posh Pop Bakeshop for gluten-free treats that were to die for! And as huge animal lovers, our hearts were so full when we made a stop at Animal Haven, a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter — such a special and meaningful moment. Becca made sure it all happened seamlessly, joyfully, and beautifully.

Our dream team included:
- Jonica, our photographer, who captured every look, laugh, and loving glance with such talent and artistry that looking at the photos feels like reliving the best day of our lives.
- Shane, our videographer, who created a cinematic, emotional, and totally epic video that we’ll treasure forever.
- Rev. Love, our incredible officiant, who saw us for who we are and wrote a ceremony that was heartfelt, hilarious, personal, and perfect. We cried, we laughed, we swooned — it was everything.
- Finally, our ceremony at the stunning Lofts at Prince was the most beautiful ending to an extraordinary day. Every single detail was flawless. Every moment was full of love, meaning, and FUN.

I could write a novel about how amazing this experience was, but I’ll sum it up like this: Eloping Is Fun doesn’t just plan weddings — they create once-in-a-lifetime memories. If you're eloping in NYC, don’t walk — run to book them. Thank you Jenny, Becca, Jonica, Shane, and Rev. Love — you gave us the best day of our lives, and we’ll never forget it. 💍✨🐾🌈

The Elopement of Our Dreams

Eloping with the Eloping is Fun Team was the best decision we could have made, and one that was SO US. This entire experience really made everything so unbelievably easy. We basically got to just show up (or in our case, they came to US at our incredible hotel) dressed and ready to commit to each other and a lifetime of love. Everything else was handled! It was beautiful, intimate, fun, and truly one of the most special days of our lives! Our planner Becca was so attentive, kind, and flexible to any changes we wanted to make in our itinerary. Freddy, our officiant, wrote a beautiful ceremony for us, and Jenny - photographer extraordinaire and so much more- was a delight to not just have capture our day, but also to spend our special day with. The team truly went above and beyond to make our day so special. We'll never ever forget it!

Highly recommend !!

The entire experience was exactly what we were looking for: easy, no pressure, and focused entirely on us and our relationship. It allowed us to fully enjoy every moment, both during and after the ceremony. If you're looking for a team that truly listens and delivers an unforgettable day, this is it!

Best day ever!!

I cannot stress to you enough why you should choose eloping is fun for your nyc elopement.

From our first phone call I knew immediately I was going to have the best time. I had spoken with other elopement companies prior and it was obvious I was just another transaction to them. Jenny made me feel like I had known her my entire life the moment we met via zoom.

Becca, our micro wedding planner was also amazing!!! If I had any questions or concerns she was quick to get back to me and also always very helpful!!

Everyone who knows me kept saying how “oh my gosh you’re the least stressed bride I’ve ever met” and that’s all thanks to EIF. They took 100% of the stress out of it for me!! I wouldn’t have had it any other way!!!!

Ana our photographer was so sweet and patient with us. Getting pictures taken isn’t my husbands favorite thing to do but she got him to come out of his shell and he really enjoyed it!! I can’t wait to see our photos!!!

Overall we had the BEST DAY with EIF and if you’re even considering eloping in nyc set up a zoom call with Jenny and see for yourself.

Thank you again EIF team!!! Xoxo

Amazing experience

We just got back from the most wonderful wedding with Eloping is Fun. As a couple who very much wanted to get married but were put off by the idea of a traditional wedding, being able to elope in our favourite city was absolutely perfect for us - and the team at EIF made the whole planning process effortless. It completely took the stress out of wedding planning - meaning we could just focus on ourselves! It was an incredibly special day, the whole team (Jenny, Becca, our photographer Krisanne and our officiant Sharron) all did an amazing job making us feel comfortable and making it all feel so personal. Krisanne made the photoshoot feel relaxed and natural even for us introverts, and Sharron's ceremony was perfect. Shout out to Becca as well for helping us with some last minute changes to the itinerary and being so flexible. We were absolutely buzzing after Krisanne and Sharron left and it really felt like we'd made the right decision eloping with EIF. If you're thinking about it, do it!

Your go to for an NYC elopement!

Highly recommend eloping is fun for an elopement (or small wedding). With our first time in NYC, we decided to tie the knot, just the two of us. Seamless organization from abroad with only 2 weeks notice! Jenny and team are all that they say they are and more. From even before confirming with them, they had the detailed and professional questions, answers and ways of working. we had the best time and highly recommend the vintage taxi added to the package! Peter is incredible, made us feel like we’ve known him for years!
Rev love gave us such a special ceremony in the most beautiful location and Mayleen and Josh captured it all.
Becca was always available and made the planning a breeze even from the other side of the globe!
We are so happy we decided to elope and use eloping is fun, they were (obvs) fun, detailed and super efficient. You don’t have to worry about a thing, they have you covered! They ensure that the wedding is what you want and all about you and your partner! We have the best story to tell about how we eloped in NYC and that wouldn’t have been such an epic one if it wasn’t for eloping is fun. Thank you to the full team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
