Adventure elopements have become a popular alternative to traditional weddings over the past few years. Couples are opting for intimate ceremonies perched on breathtaking backdrops, searching for experiences that match their personality and passions. Below, we highlight real-life couples who captured the essence of adventure on their wedding day.

General Bea and Blake: An Interactive Desert Experience

When Bea and Blake Hodges-Koch’s original wedding venue fell through seven weeks before the big day, they pivoted and turned their plans into an immersive weekend experience in Joshua Tree, Calif. They welcomed 165 guests, beginning with a sound-bath and hike welcome party then a retro-chic alien theme celebration. An informal ceremony, which included the typically more casual boat entrance, was peppered with thoughtful touches from their Joshua Tree-themed dessert table to a custom card game. Bea wore a tulle gown covered with daisies to match the event’s whimsical atmosphere.

Johnno and Anneliese: An Intimate Santa Barbara Elopement

Disney’s co-stars of the show “Raven’s Home” Johnno Wilson and Anneliese van der Pol chose a private Santa Barbara Courthouse elopement. Following almost a year of courtship, they wed in an intimate ceremony, in a vintage Jessica McClintock dress and J.Crew tuxedo. The couple celebrated with an eight-course feast and courthouse tour for extra photo ops. They intend to throw a small party with friends and family in the spring, and are considering a honeymoon in Europe.

Chari and Matt: A Mallorca Ceremony With a Few Guests

Chari, 31, and Matt, 32, met at a friend’s birthday party in November 2021, before becoming engaged as of December 2023. Instead of postponing until 2025, they opted for an elopement in Mallorca, Spain. The couple planned their wedding in two months, leaning on spreadsheets and local vendors referred by their photographer. Conducted on August 21 2024, the intimate ceremony consisted of just seven family members; making for an organic, personalized atmosphere that echoed the natural surroundings of the villa. A jewelry designer, Chari made her own wedding jewelry and corsages, and wore a ruched Katherine Tash wedding dress. The couple wrote their own vows, and the ceremony featured special touches like their mothers reading the declaration of intent. Their reception included a candlelit dinner of local cuisine, wine and a simple, elegant lemon-filled cake. Chari and Matt had curated music throughout the day, culminating in a long, joyous family dinner, abundant with laughter and love.

A Norwegian Beach Elopement: Louise and Peter

Louise and Peter announced early on that a traditional wedding wasn’t right for them. They opted to elope on a remote beach in Norway, with their dog, Rocky. Although they had originally scheduled a hike to an overlook, low-lying clouds caused them to trade their vows on the beach instead. They wanted their wedding to be a private, meaningful affair, so the impromptu ceremony was intimate and personal. Their day was filled with the joy of travel, adventure and the natural wonders of Norway’s coastline.

Samantha and Cale: A Tahoe Love Story

Samantha and Cale discovered Adventure Elopement Co. through Instagram and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Blake, Irina, and Jess organized all the details of the couple’s big day landscape in South Lake Tahoe, offering suggestions for both the ceremony and their visit.

Blake’s emotional words at their ceremony touched their guests, and Jess’s talent dressed the entire bridal party to look and feel beautiful. They still made their elopement unforgettable with attention to detail from helping with the marriage licence to homemade ice cream!

Maria and John: An Intimate Ceremony

Maria and John knew Irina and Blake were behind the extraordinary service they had received for the entire planning process.

For anyone who might be considering an elopement, Maria and John highly recommend Adventure Elopement Co.

Jessica & Matthew: A Snowy Tahoe Elopement

Jessica and Matthew had their ceremony following an adventurous ceremony with a gorgeous snowy backdrop at South Lake Tahoe. The 20-degree weather and falling snow did not deter Irina and Blake from patiently directing their friends and family to the ideal ceremony spot. Irina answered all questions and even video-chatted to personalize the ceremony, which included a song from the movie that meant so much to both Jenna and Luca. The Adventure Elopement Co. team was so professional and kind that their wedding day was everything they wanted.

*Sarah and Colton: A Unique Experience
