7 signs Eloping to Box on the Hill is for you

Congratulations you are engaged. Let the questions from well meaning friends and family begin.

When is the wedding? Where is the wedding? Where are you getting your dress from? Who will be the bridesmaids? Who will Aunt Sarah be sitting next to ?

And then come all the opinions.

It will have to be a wedding in October because Nana has her operation in November. Don't get married at the same place cousin Alissa did because the food was awful. Make sure you get a DJ and not a band. Choose chocolate cake because it is everyone's favourite.

Argh!

Let's Chat

Elope to Raglan

Sign One

If chatting about your wedding triggers your nervous system, and not in an excited way, perhaps the stress of others' expectations is just too much. You have always thought eloping was about running away - what is an elopement package anyway?

Sign Two

You start planning your wedding. You have the wedding apps, you have the spreadsheets, you have the chat groups but it all just feels totally wrong. You are trying to work full time and the planning is not fun, you don't want to admit it but it's a chore.

You love nature, you love the beach - why can't you find something that feels right.

Sign Three

The eye watering costs! You are going down every rabbit hole and the pressure to have the best of everything is stacking up. There is no way you can afford it and even if you could, $50k on average for a wedding feels much better spent on travelling to Europe.

Sign Four

You start dreaming about your wedding. Seating plans, music choices, flower installations, has the caterer included the 23 guests with special meal requirements and in every dream you are late for your wedding day and can't find the venue.

Sign Six

You remember that friend from your old job that was married in Fiji. Beautiful weather, everything planned by the resort, just her and her now husband. Gosh that is starting to sound appealing. You start to wonder if you could elope somewhere close, Raglan perhaps?

Sign Seven

You are getting angry! When did marrying the love of your life turn into such a circus. It should not feel this way and people are simply pissing you off. And angry is not you. It feels yuk .

It's okay, honestly it is okay. It is very normal for the expectations, costs and planning of your wedding to feel overwhelming. Some people thrive on it and some simply don't.

Eloping does not have to be a taboo topic. Many couples openly let people know they plan to elope. They may live stream the ceremony, they might throw a party afterwards and tell everyone then and others they keep it a total secret with no big announcements.

At Box on the Hill we have been part of hundreds of elopements and no story is ever the same. We don't have any expectations. We keep it simple with two elopement packages to choose from. We arrange everything and you don't do a thing. Or we work with you on bringing your vision to life.

Elope to Box on the Hill, any day of the year, with as little as a few weeks notice. If reading that sounds great then it is a sign eloping is meant to be.
