Elopements, intimate weddings, and microweddings. The road less traveled, with so many opportunities to incorporate the unexpected and unique. In keeping with the trend of doing things your way, let us introduce a venue option you should set your sights on: Airbnbs!
"Venue? Even if I'm eloping?"
Sure! Especially if you are inviting a few guests, such as with a microwedding or intimate wedding, Airbnbs can provide a cozy homebase for your elopement celebration.
Here are some reasons why you may want to consider renting an Airbnb for your elopement!:
-Airbnbs can offer a homey feel where you can add your own personal touches. OR if you'd rather have a spot that is as close to the aesthetic you are going for as possible [less stress for you!], there are a ton of options!
-You can use your Airbnb for a reception, or just a place for you and your guests to stay near your adventurous elopement location.
-If you are inviting guests to your intimate wedding or elopement, an Airbnb provides a central location where you can all stay together and spend time with one another! Having everyone at an Airbnb can create a wonderful sense of community.
-Airbnbs can often be smack dab in the middle of where your adventure elopement takes place [think a cozy cabin near North Cascades National Park, a hip yurt in Joshua Tree, or a tiny house close to Mount Hood]. which is great for travel time!
-Make sure to be upfront with the host, in regards to any edits or arrangements you may need to make! Transparency is key here, for you and your Airbnb host!
-The possibilities are boundless when it comes to accomodations! Your elopement is a truly unique experience, and there are so many Airbnb options when it comes to keeping in line with your elopement vision.
-An Airbnb can provide variety for your intimate wedding or elopement adventure! From getting ready on your big day, to having a cozy day-after session with you + your partner as the sunrise seeps in from the windows.
Our tips for planning an Airbnb elopement or intimate wedding:
-When searching for an Airbnb, you can sort results by "suitable for events". This ensures that your Airbnb will be able to host your wedding! If you're unsure, or if the listing information seems vague, you can always message the host to confirm!
-Make sure any logistics you may need are covered. For example, if you are inviting a few guests, it would probably be helpful to have more than one bathroom! Will friends + family be driving in? On-site parking is ideal! Thinking about hanging out outdoors later in the day? Check out any ordinances or rules about noise!
-Don't forget to look into vacation rental insurance, for peace of mind.
-We recommend choosing your elopement location first, then deciding on your Airbnb. That way no matter what, you + your partner will be able to get married in a place that is close to your heart.
-Consider how you want to spend your time during your elopement or intimate wedding celebration. When it comes to navigating the logistics of your elopement timeline, that's where we come in! We are here to help!
