What's the difference between an Elopement and a Micro Wedding?

It's just you, your partner, and maybe two of your closest people. It's all about that intimate, romantic vibe – think secret vows exchanged on a secluded beach or under a canopy of trees. Perfect for couples who crave that private, magical moment without the fuss of a big event. Two of our wedding team members can be your witnesses to sign your marriage certificate for you! So simple and perfect.
