SCOTLAND ELOPEMENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

CONGRATS! YOU ARE ENGAGED AND NOW PLANNING TO GET MARRIED, BUT YOU ARE LOST IN TOO MANY QUESTIONS?

 

In another post, I've compiled everything you need to know how to elope to Scotland, which you can read here. Before you dig into planning your elopement, you have to ask yourself a question:

IS ELOPING THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR ME?

 

Traditional wedding planning can be very stressful, which is only one reason why more and more couples are eloping each year worldwide, but it’s just not for everyone (and nothing wrong with that!)

Here are a few more questions to you. Just close your eyes, and imagine your wedding day(s):

- Do you love the idea of anadventure wedding day that's entirely and unapologetically you, rather than feeling the need to conform to other people's traditions, ideas and expectations of a traditional wedding?

- Are you drawn to a wedding day that's adventurous, personalised, intimate, go-with-the-flow, joyful and stress-free? 

- Do you love visiting new places - in this case - Scotland, one of the most beautiful countries in the world?

- Can you imagine yourself exchanging your vows, just the two of you, in front of The Three Sisters of Glen Coe, on the dramatic cliffsides of the Isle of Skye, in an intimate, private moment full of your love?

If you have been answering YES to the questions above, then eloping to Scotland would be perfect for you!

I recommend eloping in Scotland if ...

  • You may be introverted like me, camera shy, or dislike having too many people around when you share personal vows with your future spouse.

  • You prioritize quality time together and don't want to be distracted by the crowded guests greeting you all day.

  • You want to be fully present on your wedding day, with absolutely stress-free logistics and no distractions to keep you from being fully in the moment. I can help you achieve your dream elopement day.

  • An adventurous and unique experience on your elopement day would be more meaningful than a big wedding party.

 

SCOTLAND IS THE PERFECT DESTINATION FOR YOU IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A LIFETIME ELOPEMENT EXPERIENCE.

WHY ELOPE IN SCOTLAND?

  • Scotland is the only place in the UK where you can legally marry close to anywhere, anytime, no matter your beliefs, faith, sexual orientation or race, so long as you have a legal officiant and two witnesses present at your elopement ceremony.

  • Scotland is beautiful and dramatic all year round, no matter the weather. It's one of the windiest countries in Europe, and the mainly wet climate is a big part of what makes Scotland so magical.

  • A traditional wedding is just too much for you financially, or you do not want family drama on the elopement day to marry your love.

  • You do not want all the stress of planning a big wedding day.

  • Scotland is full of history and rich heritage. There are hundreds of castles and whiskey distilleries, world-class salmon fishing, beautiful city architecture, and many more places to visit and activities to do during your stay.

  • The Scottish Highlands is one of the most remote locations in Europe, and it has a unique landscape. Super vulcanos formed some of Europe's oldest mountains and glens (valleys), and glacial movements after the ice age created the final rugged landscapes of the North-West of Scotland. The diverse scenery on the Isle of Skye, the dramatic landscapes of Glen Coe, the endless pine forest in the Cairngorms National Park, and the deciduous woods of the Trossachs National Park will take your breath away.
