How much will your elopement cost?

All-inclusive elopement packages with Elopements Inc. range from $575 to about $2,975 depending on city, guest count, and venue. The marriage license fee is separate ($66–$100 depending on state) and is paid directly to the county clerk — not to Elopements Inc. Use the calculator above for a destination-specific total.

Elopements Inc. packages include the venue, a licensed officiant, professional photography (with edited images and a shareable gallery), ceremony coordination, marriage license guidance, and any required permits. We offer two optional add-ons, with prices that scale by package tier: Videography (from $675 on Getaway Plus, up to $1,475 on Friends and Family Plus) and RAW photo files ($100-$300 depending on tier). Videography is not available on our smaller Just Married and Getaway packages. We do not offer florals, hair and makeup, or chair rentals — those are vendors the couple books independently, and our coordinator can recommend trusted local options.

The U.S. average traditional wedding cost is $30,000–$45,000 for 100 guests, according to The Knot. An Elopements Inc. micro wedding totals a small fraction of that. The savings come from venue size, catering volume, and the elimination of full reception logistics — see the calculator for your specific city and guest count.

Each city's package prices reflect its actual venue and permit costs. Nashville is the most affordable entry point because we have multiple historic venues with established arrangements. Sedona, Charleston, Savannah, and Gatlinburg starting prices reflect higher venue rental fees, permits (Coconino National Forest, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, city park permits), and access logistics specific to those destinations. The calculator shows current per-city pricing pulled from the same source our coordinators use when quoting couples.

No. Every package price on this calculator is the full price you pay Elopements Inc. The state marriage license fee is shown on a separate line because it is paid directly to the county clerk — not to Elopements Inc. Both partners apply for the license in person; we cannot obtain it on your behalf. Travel, lodging, post-ceremony dinner, florals, hair and makeup, and any rental items are also separate — those are vendors you book yourself (your coordinator can recommend trusted locals). The package price covers the wedding itself end to end.

Two: Videography and RAW photo files. Videography is included on Getaway Plus and larger packages only (not on Just Married or Getaway), and the price scales by tier — $675 on Getaway Plus, $1,075 on Friends and Family, $1,475 on Friends and Family Plus. RAW photo files are available on every package, priced $100-$300 by tier. We don't offer florals, hair and makeup, chair rentals, or extended photography hours as add-ons. Those services either come from your own preferred vendors or aren't part of how we structure packages.

No. The marriage license is a personal legal document — both partners must apply in person at the county clerk's office and sign the application themselves. Elopements Inc. cannot obtain or pay for the license on your behalf. What we do provide is step-by-step guidance: which clerk's office to visit, what documents to bring, when to go relative to your ceremony date, and any state-specific quirks (witness requirements, waiting periods, etc.). The license fee is paid directly to the county at the time of application.

Package prices vary by venue within each city. The calculator shows the lowest available price for the recommended tier across all venues in your selected destination — that's the honest 'starting at' figure. If you choose a different venue (a flagship like Belmont Mansion vs. a more affordable option), the actual quote may be higher. Each venue's specific pricing is on the destination and venue pages.

Yes — a two-person Nashville elopement totals $675 ($575 package + $100 TN marriage license fee). The license fee is paid directly to the county, not to Elopements Inc. — see the calculator for current totals at every destination.
