Previously, clients who were looking to elope fell into a category that either forced them to a courthouse wedding or forced them into a larger wedding that they really didn&#8217;t want or sent them off to Las Vegas. That is no longer the case. As wedding professionals, we can truly offer a personalized, custom yet still intimate elopement experience.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/elopement-planning-part-1\/#How_did_I_end_up_offering_elopements\" >How did I end up offering elopements?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/elopement-planning-part-1\/#What_should_an_elopement_package_include\" >What should an elopement package include?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/elopement-planning-part-1\/#Interested_in_adding_elopement_planning_to_your_business_Check_back_next_week_to_hear_more_from_Heather_in_Elopement_Planning_Part_II\" >Interested in adding elopement planning to your business?

I originally developed this product in conjunction with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.14stories.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14 Stories<\/a> (the United States leading expert in LGBT weddings) as a way to be of service to the LGBT community. There were many <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/03\/five-things-to-know-about-planning-same-sex-weddings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">same-sex couples<\/a> that wanted to get married but could not do so, legally, in their home state. To get married, these couples were traveling to states that would recognize their union. I am based in Chicago and we were fortunate enough to have marriage equality a year before the rest of the United States. Couples were coming to Chicago to elope and I knew there was a gap to fill. I wanted to offer a welcoming haven to these couples. How could I be of service to these couples and make a good financial business decision? I decided to provide them with a complete elopement package that would ensure they felt like their wedding was truly unique and special. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/dann-wunderfurn-photography-4-ed.jpg\" alt=\"Elopement Wedding Planning 2 Dann Wunderfurn\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/dann-wunderfurn-photography-4-ed.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/dann-wunderfurn-photography-4-ed-300x182.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Photographer: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dannwunderlich.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dann Wunderfurn Photography<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>It turned out, however, that elopements were not just needed for same-sex couples. In the course of the last year I have had all sorts of couples express interest in a mini-wedding. Some clients have a very short planning time frame of less than two months. Other couples plan their mini-weddings well over a year out. Yes, there really are couples that plan that far out for a wedding that only has about 18 guests! Many of these couples are traveling from another state. That is part of what makes elopements so much fun! Elopements allow couples to combine a love of travel, and an exciting new destination (or perhaps a spot that holds a special place in the couples\u2019 heart). They can share it with loved ones while keeping the entire process simple and enjoyable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_an_elopement_package_include\"><\/span>What should an elopement package include?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When putting together my Destiny Chicago package, I knew it was important to offer a complete package that would take care of all essential needs.
