Here’s What Eloping Can Really Look Like

Eloping doesn’t mean doing less—it means doing only what truly matters. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by big weddings or simply want to mark your commitment in your own quiet way, I’m here to help you make that moment unforgettable.

Most couples I work with have never been to an elopement before—after all, they’re not the kind of ceremonies you get invited to. So you don’t have to have it all figured out. I’ll walk you through what’s possible, offer gentle guidance, and help shape a ceremony that feels calm, meaningful, and true to you. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small circle of loved ones, your ceremony will be held with care, presence, and meaning.

The Perfect Setting for Your Story

Part of making your ceremony feel true to you is finding the right place for it to unfold. The beauty of eloping is that "the right place" can be anywhere that is meaningful to you.

It can be a wild, windswept clifftop, sandy beach or atmospheric woodland, but it can just as easily be the intimate warmth of a historic building, a quiet corner of a beautiful garden, or the comfort of your holiday accommodation.

As a celebrant who has had the privilege of conducting ceremonies in all kinds of settings, I am happy to draw on my experience. Whether you already have your heart set on a specific location or are simply looking for inspiration, we will find the place that feels perfect for your story.

Your Beliefs, Honoured

You don’t need to fit into a particular box to have a ceremony that feels sacred. Whether you’re spiritual, religious, humanist, or still figuring it out, I’ll help you shape a ceremony that truly reflects your values — with no pressure and no pretense. I’m here to listen, understand, and guide you toward something meaningful and entirely your own.

What Couples Say

Our wedding ceremony was very small and intimate... We wanted a simple, relaxed ceremony in a woodland that means a lot to our family and Monika really helped to create the right atmosphere for that.
