These romantic and fun alternatives to a traditional wedding can happen just about anywhere, and if you’d like to hit the easy button and let someone else take care of the day-of details we've got you covered: From West to East, here’s a handful of beautiful venues that provide creative, comprehensive, and affordable elopement packages so all you need to do is show up and say “I do”.
