CALLING ALL EXTRAORDINARY LOVERS…
mini weds.
mighty vibes.
If you're reading this, you're considering breaking away from societal expectations of a big, traditional wedding to marry your boo in intimate seclusion. Congrats!
There's a common misconception couples opt to elope to save money. But more often than not, it's actually the thought of dealing with all the wedding planning drama and trying to please everyone else that makes couples want to forgo the big shebang.
Over the past few decades, the definition of "eloping" has changed for the better. More and more couples are making a deliberate decision to elope to focus on what matters - two lovebirds making forever kind of commitment to each other...and we are totally here for it.
But we don't believe just because you want to keep it small, you should have to keep it minimal. You still deserve that swoon-worthy backdrop, gorgeous decor, and a dreamy vibe while you bare your soul with your lover. Using our expertise and experience, the Dope Elope team want to help you make that a reality.
