What Does a 2 Day Elopement Look Like?
While it is possible to fit 12+ hours of adventure into one day, early mornings, long days, and late nights can be exhausting. 2 day elopements allow you to rest in between your adventures so you’re refreshed and ready to be fully present! And if you’re eloping with guests, you can plan one day that is focused on just the two of you, and then a second day with your loved ones.
