Elopements & Micro Weddings
If you’re dreaming of a “run away” wedding, where you and your beloved say your “I Dos” away from the world, immersed in spectacular nature of ancient ferns, crystal clear waterfalls and ancient trees…
If you’re more about having an intimate ceremony that’s all about you, rather than a show for others, with no fuss or extravagant budget, but lots of love and laughter with your nearest & dearest witnessing and sharing your joy…
If you’re more about creating a magical and memorable experience that captures the essence of who you are in simple, pure and authentic way, and you’re ready and eager to just do it NOW…
ELOPE!
We agree. Marriage is less about the wedding and more about the life you co-create thereafter. But Ceremony does matter - it’s a special, treasured moment that marks a milestone of your life when you exchange your chosen vows, that’s all about you and your beloved, and not about stress, overwhelm and financial pressure weddings often create.
We think that you’ve got the right idea to elope or have a micro wedding and The Source is the ideal place to make it a reality. No lengthy plans, props, staging, complicated seating arrangements or fuss required - with spectacular nature as your backdrop for a secluded and romantic experience, the magic is right here.
But don’t take our word for it. A picture tells a thousand words…
