Once you get beyond 40 guests, it\u2019s really not considered an elopement anymore but rather a very small wedding. It is important to note that this cost does not include things like food and beverage costs, hair and makeup artists, and additional photography or transportation hours. With the seven hours of planning, I can help clients arrange for any additional items they want and then we simply add those expenses to the total package.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/tuan-bui-photography-greatest-expectations-2_ed2.jpg\" alt=\"Elopement photography by Tuan Bui Photography\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/tuan-bui-photography-greatest-expectations-2_ed2.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/tuan-bui-photography-greatest-expectations-2_ed2-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Photography: <a href=\"http:\/\/tuanb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuan Bui Photography<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>It is also worth mentioning that with larger weddings, I never have the client\u2019s expenses go through me. With elopements, however, providing a complete package, a one-stop shop, is really appealing and has been extremely beneficial to the client and very lucrative for my business.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Putting_It_All_Together\"><\/span>Putting It All Together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to put this great little package together, I reached out to vendors I have really wonderful relationships with. We talked about the volume of elopements I anticipated and agreed upon a set rate for each event and, in many cases, what their upgrade options are. It was obvious this would be a mutually beneficial relationship for vendors. Once I knew what the total wholesale package was going to cost, I factored in what I wanted my profit to be.<\/p>\n<p>Another fun aspect to elopements is that they often happen at off-peak times instead of a Saturday night. This is not always the case, but it often is. This is particularly great because, as I am sure you know, wedding professionals are not keen on booking up their time and potentially giving up a big event for an elopement. I like to tuck these mini-weddings into days and times that are not normally open. They fill a very nice gap for everyone involved.  <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Yourself_Out_There\"><\/span>Get Yourself Out There!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I have successfully put myself on the map as an elopement planner to all couples in love. Marketing the package through social media outlets has been very helpful. Be sure to put a lot of (professional) photos on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, and to tag them properly. In order to make social media work for you, proper tagging is key. Some great hashtags include #elopement #elopeinchicago #chicagoelopement #elopementplanner #miniwedding.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Tuan-Bui-Photography-Greatest-Expectations-1_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Elopement photography by Tuan Bui Photography\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Tuan-Bui-Photography-Greatest-Expectations-1_ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Tuan-Bui-Photography-Greatest-Expectations-1_ed-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Photography: <a href=\"http:\/\/tuanb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuan Bui Photography<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Be sure to talk it up and let people know that you offer a special elopement package and tell interested clients how they can find you! Be available and be of service. Don\u2019t assume that, since these are mini-weddings, the clients don\u2019t want to interview you. Most of my elopement consults happen over the phone or Skype. You still need to build trust with each and every couple that contacts you. <\/p>\n<p>Elopements are so much fun! I find that many elopement couples are even more excited to get married than some of my larger weddings. They have removed the stressful aspect of wedding planning and put their trust in my hands. I take that responsibility seriously. I have had the pleasure and privilege of helping make small wedding dreams come true for couples that, previously, felt their needs could not be properly met, and you can too!<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Interested in even more ways to expand your services?
