Brittney, on July 13, 2020 at 10:48 AM Posted in Planning 0 15
My fiancé and I want to getting married, just us, on a vacation. I have no idea where to begin. Has anyone does this and have places to recommend? Or just some general tips. Thanks!

    Do you have a general setting that you're interested in? Forest, mountains, beach? That may help to get more specific suggestions.

    Which state are you considering? Recommendations will change depending on where you're planning on going.


    My fiance and I will probably end up eloping in Florida given how quickly the case count has risen and all the travel restrictions in place. We were supposed to travel to NJ but have cancelled those plans. Traveling right now may not be the best idea depending on where you are and where you plan on going.

    We're not eloping but having a full on beach wedding in FL - I'd research some FL Wedding planning services and you can probably get a great idea of the costs for just an elopement. Should be very economical .

    We also considered a very small (no more than 10person) wedding in Bar Harbor Maine at the Acadia National Park. Again very economical

    Colorado doesn’t have the beach but it is absolutely perfect for eloping. Witnesses and an officiant aren’t required. There’s some awesome photography companies that host elopement packages.

    CO has beaches on our many reservoirs 😉 haha! Really though, CO is great for eloping, especially if you like hiking.


    I would sit down with my FH and discuss places we want to go/see and work from there on finding a location. I have the travel bug much more than my FH, but even he has places he wants to go. Chances are, no matter where you choose you’ll be able to find some kind of elopement packages. Good luck and congrats!

    Thank you! We both love traveling so that makes things easier. It’s so hard just picking a place and planning because we know nothing about most of the places. If that makes sense lol.

    I understand. I love researching, but I know not everyone does. Once you pick a place, I’m sure at least someone on here can give you much more specific advice.

    When we were originally planning on eloping, we were going through a company called Simply Eloped. They offer services in different states and also offer beaches. Maybe you'll find something there. Good luck!

    Yeah FL is best and I would say where I live Tampa Bay many officiants also can provide elopement set ups for cheap and then you have nice hotels and beaches to honeymoon. Bare in mind cases are spiking in FL because people are being careless.

    I am having an intimate ceremony so for small gatherings it is not a problem and truthfully everything right now is operating like normal but I would be more concerned if having a bigger wedding ha ha. Even if you have a few guests much less risk.
