Pro tip: Even if a venue doesn’t advertise elopement packages on their website, it’s always worth asking. Many venues can create custom intimate celebration options, especially for weekday or Sunday events. Keep in mind that elopement packages typically offer reduced rates because they include a more limited scope – such as fewer hours of venue time, access to smaller ceremony spaces rather than the main ballroom, or scheduling during less popular times like weekday evenings or Sunday brunches.
