Elopement Getaways: Travel Planning for Couples and Tiny Guest Lists

Even elopements and tiny guest lists come with logistics. Flights, hotels, transportation, dinner reservations, activity planning… suddenly your low-stress escape starts looking suspiciously like a planning rabbit hole. That’s where we come in.

Whether it’s just the two of you sneaking off to the Amalfi Coast, a mountaintop ceremony with your closest people, or a full micro wedding weekend, we handle the travel planning so you can stay focused on the fun part: Getting married!

Browse the options below, steal some ideas, or let our travel team build something completely custom around your vibe, your pace, and your budget. You'll get VIP perks, better rates than booking on your own, and a real human planning it all for you. (Did we mention it's totally free?)

Elopements can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars to $30,000+, but most couples land somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000 total. That's a fraction of the average $33,000+ traditional wedding, and more of that budget goes toward the actual experience rather than feeding 150 guests. (Math we love.) 

The travel piece specifically (flights, hotels, and getting around once you're there) varies a lot depending on whether you're driving to a local venue or flying somewhere dreamy, but that's exactly the part we handle for you.

Every elopement trip is different, but here's what you can expect when you work with our travel team: venue recommendations sourced from Here Comes The Guide, flights and hotel booking, ground transportation, activity planning, and a digital itinerary so everything's in one place. For small groups and micro weddings, we also handle group lodging, guest communication, and coordinating experiences like private tours, vineyard dinners, or boat charters. The scope scales to fit your trip — whether that's a simple two-night getaway for two or a full weekend with 30 of your favorite people. 

We've put together elopement travel packages for every size — from couple-only getaways to micro weddings with up to 30 guests — so you can see exactly what stress-free travel planning looks like at every level.
