#### the elopement collective

The Elopement Collective is our squad of wedding industry leaders that create epic elopements from Australia around the world. Lead by us, the husband and wife team of [Josh](https://joshwithers.au/) and Britt, and originally known as  
[The Pop-Up Wedding Co](https://elopementcollective.com/)., we are passionate about celebrating marriage in a personal and real way.

#### elopement

We simply create elopements, not weddings.

We create intimate moments for you and your partner to become a married couple and you can get married with a handful of your closest family or we can be your witnesses.

#### collective

We work with the best celebrants, photographers, videographers, and florists in the world. Many talented humans with a single vision for your elopement.

### The EC experience

We believe in the power and the beauty of marriage and we believe that your marriage is a union to be celebrated, and celebrated in the most intimate and personal fashion.

Elopements are best in the few hours before sunset, generally on weekdays or outside of the peak wedding times

We help you in finding the right location, looking after your marriage paperwork, creating a fun and meaningful marriage ceremony with a [celebrant](https://marriedbyjosh.com/), curating a photographer, maybe a videographer, and your blooms.

We exist to help lovers run away and elope in a beautiful, meaningful, and intimate way. We value an epic location, meaningful vows, and capturing the memory, so that’s the service we provide, simple and significant elopements.

## What’s the difference?

#### wedding

A wedding is a beautiful celebration of love and commitment between two people but those two people are hosting an event for their friends and family.

It’s about you, but not necessarily **for** you.

#### micro-wedding

A micro-wedding, and you’re not going to believe this, is a smaller wedding.

There’s an emphasis on intimacy but you’re still hosting an event - a wedding - for the guests invited.

#### elopement

An elopement is an intimate and delicate moment where two people get married, and there may be the smallest number of witnesses, but it’s not **for** them.

An elopement is for you.

#### Costs

Everything in the package price for your Elopement Collective elopement is documented in your information pack, along with any optional extras you choose, but [this is a _helpful guide_ to other expenses](https://elopementcollective.com/eloping/how-much-does-it-cost-to-elope) you might want to budget for.

#### Why do people elope?

Eloping with children transforms your wedding day into an intimate family experience. While it requires thoughtful planning, the result is a beautiful celebration you'll all treasure. Here's [_how to create a memorable family elopement._](https://elopementcollective.com/eloping/should-you-elope-with-your-children-present)

#### What should we do after?

After a wedding ceremony your community “receives” you in a “reception”, but what do you do after your elopement? Here’s some [_ideas on what to do after you’ve eloped_](https://elopementcollective.com/eloping/what-to-do-after-you-elope-how-to-celebrate).
