When it comes to planning a wedding, everyone should start with two things - deciding your wedding budget and the style of wedding you’re looking for. For many couples, eloping has become the ultimate dream. The concept of running away to marry the love of your life, seen in movies and novels, has evolved into something that’s not only for adventurous romantics but also for couples seeking intimacy and simplicity.
If you’ve ever thought about eloping but aren’t quite sure where to start or what it involves, you’re in the right place. We’re here to guide you through everything you need to know about elopements and how to make your dream wedding abroad a reality.
Traditionally, elopements were seen as secretive and spontaneous, often associated with running away to marry in a hurry, sometimes in a Las Vegas chapel - like Ross and Rachel’s impromptu wedding. However, today’s elopements are about more than secrecy and spontaneity. They are about escaping the pressure of large, traditional wedding days and focusing truly on the meaning of marriage; your love for one another.
An elopement typically involves a small, intimate ceremony, usually just the couple and a few witnesses. They are personal and romantic, and more often than not, they take place in a beautiful, unforgettable location.
Whether you decide to do it alone or with a handful of friends and family, eloping is a deeply personal and meaningful way to say “I do”.
We know that the idea of getting married abroad can be quite daunting but when you choose a planner like us, you are stepping into a stress-free wedding planner. That’s right, you can enjoy a seamless experience from the start to the moment you say “I do”.
The beauty of deciding to marry abroad is the endless possibilities for stunning wedding locations all around the world. Whether you’re dreaming of a beachside ceremony in Cyprus or exchanging your vows beneath the palm trees in Mauritius, the world is your oyster.
The Wedding Travel Company will help you to explore locations that fit your vision. We’ll discuss everything from the type of atmosphere, location, and vibe you want to create. Picture your ceremony overlooking the breathtaking St Paul’s Bay in Rhodes or surrounded by vineyards in the rolling hills of Italy - whatever your dream is, our expert wedding planners will help guide you to your perfect wedding day.
Getting married abroad is incredibly exciting, but it also comes with some legal considerations. The rules and requirements for getting married abroad vary between different countries. Some destinations require specific documentation, such as birth certificates, passports, or proof of divorce (if applicable).
At The Wedding Travel Company, we’ll take care of the paperwork, ensuring that you meet all the legal requirements for your destination. We’ll also help you with all the necessary translations and notarizations, so everything is prepared and taken care of before you leave.
Eloping abroad is a stress-free option for couples who want to avoid the overwhelming task of planning a large wedding day. With only a handful of people involved, the focus is entirely on you as a couple, and the day can be as relaxed or as extravagant as you want.

Eloping abroad is more than just a wedding; it’s an unforgettable experience. The intimate nature of the ceremony, combined with the beauty of a foreign destination, creates a romantic and memorable occasion.
