Elopement Coaching

You’ve decided to elope but… you’re feeling stuck, unorganized, or overwhelmed with the elopement process. I offer virtual elopement coaching to those needing extra support with working through challenges and achieving goals related to their elopement.

I eloped to the Isle of Skye in Scotland with my husband and it was everything we could have hoped for. However, there was a lot of planning involved and at times it became stressful. I view marriage celebrations as an opportunity for a couple to start their marriage in a thoughtful and joyful way. I’ve been a wedding musician for over 10 years and always enjoy seeing how each couple chooses to celebrate differently. Whether the elopement is planned or more spontaneous, family is joining you or you are alone, or you choose to have a reception/party at a later point to celebrate with family and friends - life stressors, family conflicts, or just the planning process can get in the way of elopement excitement.

Elopement coaching can focus on any aspect of your life that is related to and/or impacting your elopement. By facilitating thoughtful conversations and asking questions, I am here to guide you in your planning process to help you problem solve and feel more at ease.

Elopement coaching can help you with:

  • Stress and anxiety management/ emotional support

  • Managing expectations and pressures from family and friends

  • Brainstorming creative ideas for the elopement

  • Improving time management and organization with planning

  • Setting and working towards lifestyle goals or healthier habits leading up to the elopement

  • Identifying values as a couple and creating your elopement/ceremony vision

  • Communicating with family and friends about your decisions

  • Prioritizing what’s most important to you in the planning process

  • Resolving disagreements and integrating differences in culture, religion, and preferences into the ceremony

I offer both individual and couple sessions for elopement coaching. The format will depend on the needs/goals of you and your partner.

An Elopement Coach is Not a Wedding Planner

Unlike wedding planners, I do not handle the logical details or coordination of your elopement day. I do not contact vendors or book anything for you. Elopement coaches help you brainstorm, organize your ideas, navigate hard decisions, work through emotional roadblocks, and identify your vision for your elopement. Some couples choose to have a wedding planner and some do not. If you have chosen to use a wedding planner, elopement coaching may help you better communicate your vision to your planner.
