When an experienced group of local wedding suppliers realised that elopement may become a realistic and popular option for many couples, disenfranchised by the pandemic, they got together to form E-lope. One of the founding members, Sam Lloyd, The Wedding Owl, says, “E-lope is for couples who want their elopement to include all of the elements of a beautiful wedding, just without the guest numbers.”

This talented team of knowledgeable wedding professional will undertake all of the project planning on behalf of their couples to a high standard, and includes photography, cake, flowers, styling and venue. 

Sam continues, “What our couples love is that all they have to do is share their Pinterest board with us and select a weekday, then we organise all of the details leaving them to take care of their perfect accommodation, transport, wedding rings, attire and licensed to wed. Although, we can assist with those elements too. Our dedicated team frees the couple to enjoy their adventure, spend more time focusing on each other and enjoy lashings of style for those Insta-worthy pictures.” 

The E-lope team got together to celebrate the launch, and show just what wonders they're capable of, with this spectacular styled shoot. Feast your eyes on this!
