Hello and welcome!

You’ve likely stumbled upon this page because you decided that a big wedding isn’t for you. Hey, guess what? You’re not alone! Phew, isn't that a relief to hear? Many couples just like you have come to the realization that traditional weddings just aren't their jam. A big wedding experience is often filled with obligations, expectations, stress, and pressure that frankly have no place on the day you commit your lives to one another. So, what’s a couple to do when societal norms don’t speak to their true, authentic selves? Elope! Gone are the days when elopements were a rushed, often secret affair clouded in scandal and disapproval. Modern elopements are intentionally small, intimate, and wildly unique experiences that give a couple absolute power to celebrate their love in an uninhibited way. Elopements are for couples who care so much about how they get married that they are willing to toss others’ expectations aside in order to create an authentic wedding experience that honors who they are as a couple. If you’re sitting there thinking “yes, that’s us!” Well then, my friend, you’ve come to the right place. Tell us more about your dream elopement or keep reading!

Modern elopements are no longer subjected to the Vegas strip or a courthouse (although nothing is wrong with those options). In fact, modern elopements can be anything you want them to be! They can be saying “I do” atop a mountain amidst a sea of wildflowers. They can be exchanging your vows riverside with a lone merganser as witness and the river rushing by, whispering its good wishes in your ear. It can be a backyard intimate ceremony followed by a killer meal with only your closest friends and family. If you are a couple who comes alive in nature, who has a passion for exploring, who doesn't live by the rulebook, then an elopement with Ohiopyle Weddings may be just the right choice for you.
