What is an elopement?

Elopements are all about celebrating your love on your own terms. Unlike traditional weddings, an elopement focuses entirely on the couple’s desires, often with fewer people and less formality.
Some couples choose to invite close friends and family, while others keep it ultra-minimal with just the two of them, an officiant, and maybe a witness. For some, an elopement may even involve a courthouse ceremony followed by a private celebration somewhere special.
The key is simplicity and personalisation. No over-the-top traditions, no sky-high bills for banquet halls, and no stress over managing a guest list of hundreds. Whether you’re reciting vows on a beach or celebrating in a cosy apartment venue, elopements are all about creating meaningful memories.
What to look for in elopement venues

When searching for the perfect venue for your elopement, keep these crucial factors in mind:
Stunning scenery: Whether it’s an outdoor garden or an indoor space, make sure your venue provides a visually stunning backdrop for your vows and photographs.
Intimacy: Look for venues that feel personal. Places with flexible guest capacities are ideal, especially if your elopement is just the two of you or a small group.
Accessibility: Consider how easy it will be for you (and your guests) to reach the location. Remote and visually striking spots can be magical, but factor in travel logistics.
Practical amenities: Venues that offer convenient features like seating, a sound system, or even decorative elements will help simplify your plans.
Flexibility: Your chosen venue should accommodate your unique vision. Whether it’s a small ceremony or a post-vow celebration, ensure they’re on board with your plans.
Where Airbnb falls short for elopements

Airbnb is often the first platform people think of for unique venues, but when it comes to elopements, it may not be the ideal choice.
Party restrictions: Airbnb has strict policies against hosting events or parties, which can cut your celebration short before it even begins.
Overnight stays only: Airbnb’s booking system operates on 24-hour blocks, meaning you’ll pay for a full day—even if your event only lasts a few hours.
Lack of event-specific features: Most Airbnbs focus on holiday accommodation and may not have amenities like ample seating, professional sound systems, or event-ready layouts.
Unprepared hosts: Most Airbnb hosts aren’t accustomed to handling event logistics or offering any kind of planning support.
While Airbnb is great for a weekend getaway, it can leave a lot to be desired if you’re planning a bespoke and seamless elopement experience.
