Before giving you my list of ten reasons to elope in Squamish, let’s talk about why you should elope.
Who Should Consider a Squamish Elopement?
Everyone has their own reasons as to why they should elope. Before you decide to elope you should be really that clear this is the right option for you! Make a list, be open and honest with one another about why eloping may or may not be a good fit for you, and then think about how to make it happen. A few common reason’s I hear from people who have decide to elope are:
Eloping is way cheaper than a full-scale wedding! With the money you save by doing an elopement instead of a wedding you can save for a house, go on a dream vacation, or invest into your life & marriage in some other creative and meaningful way.
You don’t like to be center of attention? An elopement is much more enjoyable.
Eloping doesn’t have to mean you’re alone. Many elopements have their very closest friends or family along. Eloping has a very intimate feel, it is a celebration with those closest to you.
No need to choose a bridal party. Sometimes this hard to do…with an elopement you don’t have to!
Eloping cuts down on planning and stress. Why stress? With our All-Inclusive Elopement Packages we take care of all the planning, timelining, booking vendors, etc so you don’t have to!
Eloping is quick and easy.
Wear what you want, do what you want, go where you want. It’s your day so make it what you want it to be!
The wedding is one day, marriage is forever: Eloping gives you opportunity to invest into the marriage more than the wedding.
