Breaking Tradition: Why More Couples Are Opting for Elopements Instead of Traditional Weddings

UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / March 20, 2023 / Elopements are becoming increasingly popular among couples who want to break away from the traditional wedding format. According to recent data from one specialist California-based company, the number of inquiries it has received has increased by 800% in the past two years, and by 60% in 2023 alone when compared with its figures from 2022.

There are several reasons why couples are choosing to elope instead of having a traditional wedding, says Pacific Vows who crunched the numbers. One reason is the desire for a more intimate and personal experience, as couples can focus on each other and the experience of getting married without the distractions and pressures of a larger wedding. 

More and more couples are also thought to be choosing elopement as part of a growing trend towards weddings that are unique and reflect their individual values. This trend has also been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic as couples seek safer alternatives to larger, more traditional wedding celebrations.

At the forefront of this elopement revolution is San Diego-based Pacific Vows, a husband and wife duo committed to helping couples embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Through their business, Lisa and Simon have combined their talents in photography and planning to create unforgettable and deeply personal elopement experiences for their clients. Their dedication to capturing the essence of each couple’s love, against a backdrop of stunning landscapes, has earned them a stellar reputation within the growing elopement market. 

Lisa and Simon, Co-Founders of Pacific Vows, say: “Elopements today are more than just a simple exchange of vows. Couples are opting for unique, adventurous experiences that reflect their personalities and shared passions. From hiking to breathtaking mountaintops to intimate beach ceremonies, elopements are as diverse as the couples themselves. These tailor-made events have become increasingly popular, as they allow couples to create a memorable day that genuinely represents their love story.”

In this era of personalized experiences and meaningful connections, the elopement market has become a testament to the power of love and the beauty of celebrating it in a way that truly reflects the couple’s unique journey. Pacific Vows is proud to be a part of this revolution, as they continue to help couples create and capture the best day of their lives through their one-of-a-kind elopement adventures.
