Just Elope !

Keep Your Wedding Simple And Just Elope

You don’t want to do the big wedding and family thing. It’s expensive, it’s a hassle, and you just want to keep it simple, and let’s face it – stress free.

Some people don’t like saying their vows, or professing their love for someone, in front of hundreds of people. They just don’t like to be the center of attention.

And yes – weddings are expensive! Why start your marriage in debt? Save several thousands and elope.


St Louis Is The Best Place To Elope

Yep – St Louis is the best place to Elope. When you make the decision to just spontaneously sneak away and elope, choosing where exactly to do it only adds to the already exhilarating sense of excitement. 

According to a report, St Louis is the number one place to elope in the Midwest. In St Louis, Carolyn Burke performs about 150 elopements a year. Quick, and small “I do’s” happen all the time. St Louis can be a hot spot for weddings, in general. It has become a destination for couples to say, you are my “forever.” Especially when you’re eloping. 

This Is Why St Louis Is The Best Place To Elope

St Louis is a playground for couples. After exchanging vows, newlyweds can enjoy amazing attractions. Even if it is just for a couple days.

See a  concert at Enterprise Center, The Fabulous Fox, The Dome. Have dinner at a world class restaurant, or specialty cocktails at dozens of really cool, and iconic downtown or county bars.

Keep it cheap – visit the iconic Gateway Arch - our city symbol and national park downtown. Or ride The St Louis Wheel at Union Station.  

Want to go extreme? Take a helicopter tour of the city, or visit Illusions Museum – a GREAT way to celebrate being newlyweds. There is definitely no shortage of things to do in St Louis for your elopement!

Pop Up Wedding

How to plan a pop up wedding? Planning a pop up wedding or elopement is like a choose-your-own-adventure game. You can include some wedding traditions that you are really excited about, but there is no obligation to keep any traditions at all if you don’t want to. Finding your location is the most fun part of planning a pop up wedding. Think about places where you and your partner feel awesome together, where you love to go, a building that you fell in love with or it may be offbeat. Local parks are always beautiful and usually pretty quiet, but you can also go to places like museums or breweries — you may have to ask first! Tell them the details of your wedding (i.e. we’ll be having six guests, no music, and a 5-minute ceremony) so that they don’t think you’re trying to throw a 50-person cocktail party at their place, and see what happens. Most people are friendly and love weddings, so it can be really fun to have your wedding at your favorite coffee shop or brewery. The...
