What is a vow renewal?

A vow renewal is a celebratory ceremony for a married couple to reaffirm their commitment to each other. They are especially popular on milestone anniversaries (10, 25, or 50 years), however, there is no rule as to when to have one. It is a way to commemorate the mature and deep love between two people and to celebrate the long journey they have been on

What about the dates, can they be flexible?

We know that planning a wedding abroad in these times can be a challenge. When you find an experience you like, you will see the dates in the calendar the adventure wedding photographer has made available. You can contact the photographer personally through our website before booking and inquire further details about his/her availability and flexibility. Once you settle on a date, you book it by putting down a deposit.

Are the ceremonies legally binding?

In most cases, the ceremonies are just symbolic and not legally binding, alas there is also no need for a witness. On a lot of elopements, the couples even prefer to write and say their vows even without a celebrant. A celebrant can be included on most experiences if you wish so.

Please note that getting married legally in a foreign country is in most cases very complicated, if not impossible. We recommend making the legal ceremony in your homecountry before or after the adventure wedding.

Is the travel, insurance and flights, accommodation and meals included?

You need to buy the tickets for yourself and handle what you need for the travel itself. Some experiences do have an airport pick up included as an additional option and your photographer or planner can help you with that.

As for accommodation, every adventure wedding experience includes the accommodation for the nights of the program’s length. If you stay in the country longer, you need to handle your own accommodation. Ask your photographer for help and tips.

Meals are included in some experiences and in others not, it is specified every time.

How many guests can we bring?

Every experience states in their description the amount of guests who can come along with the couple. Usually it is max 10-15 people, to keep the experience intimate.

What about weather conditions and rainy day option?

Every experience is organised by a local vendor and they know the best how to handle the experience according to weather conditions.

Each experience states what the policy regarding unfavourable weather conditions is and what rainy day policy they have.

I would like to have a videographer and a flower bouquet, can that be arranged?

Every experience has a base package and several pre-designed add-ons which can be included when booking. Videographer, flowers, meals, photobooks are among the common add-ons.

How do I book and how does payment work?

What if we need to cancel, and do you have a covid policy?

What if I have a specific location and elopement experience in mind and what if I wan an adventurous honeymoon?

If you do not find the perfect experience you desire, contact us and we try to find a solution. The same goes for adventurous honeymoons.

We are planning on extending our experiences to offer honeymoons as well, check in to our website later.

Can I tailor make a proposed experience?

Usually every vendor offers several experiences in the same country, with some variations on what is included and how long one elopement is. You have also at every experience some additional services (airport pick up, flower bouquet etc.) you can select.

At the moment you do not have the option to customize beyond the extra additional services.
