What is Eloping?
Eloping is a trend that has been around for hundreds of years and was often thought of as being two people running away to marry in secret. However, it has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason! Eloping to a special place provides you both a unique opportunity to escape the conventional wedding customs, allowing you to create a deeply personal and romantic experience surrounded by flora and fauna Treeopia offers.

Witnesses
We want you both to have the most private and peaceful ceremony, for this, our celebrant led (non-legal ceremonies) do not require witnesses, just the eloping couple.
For a civil ceremony elopement in England or Wales you will need: To be 16 or older, if under 18 you will need permission from your parents or guardians, not already married or in a civil partnership and not closely related. A Civil Ceremony is not a legally binding It is important to understand that unlike a civil ceremony officiated by a registrar who is employed by the local council, celebrant-led weddings do not create a legally valid marriage contract.
However, separating the legal registration of your marriage from your wedding ceremony brings a big benefit – you gain complete freedom to create the ceremony that suits you best. You can choose words and rituals that are most meaningful to you both, and you will have more flexibility over the time and location that your ceremony takes place. A good celebrant will get to know you as a couple and take the time to craft a ceremony that is entirely unique and personal to you both.
For the legal practicalities, many couples choose to go to register office to legally register their marriage in a low key way, in the days or weeks prior to their celebrant-led ceremony. At its simplest this can be done with a couple of witnesses in the Registrar’s Office for a fee of around £50 plus the cost of your marriage certificate/s. Then you can focus on your celebrant-led ceremony as the heartfelt occasion, where you exchange vows and honour your commitment to each other in a way that feels entirely authentic to you.
