Testimonials
I was extremely overwhelmed with the idea of planning a wedding – even if it was very small. I’m glad I found a company that helped and specialised in small, simple weddings at an affording price! Even with needing to reschedule our original date due to COVID, they made the process as easy for us as picking a new date and that’s all the work we put in. Our photographer, Grace, was absolutely lovely. My bouquet is in the process of drying so we may have it forever.
They took care of everything! The added special touches made our perfect day even more memorable. I didn’t have to worry about anything. There was so much attention to detail, you would think I had been planning my wedding for a year instead of a month.
We wanted it done fast and simple. Not only did he make it quick and easy, they drove out to us when we had surprise car trouble at the time of the meet! My wife and I are forever grateful. Would recommend them 10 times out of ten!
How does it work?
Everlasting Elopements’ unique and simple virtual wedding planning system was built to simplify the wedding planning process. To keep the stress out of the process, we have a step-by-step system to plan your wedding ceremony from now to ‘I Do’.
It all starts with the ceremony package! Once you have selected this we can customize any extras and build on a reception package. Then we will help you select and book the perfect venue that fits your vision. Once you book, it’s just a matter of completing a few forms, then showing up on the day with your license and rings– we do everything else!
