Cancel & Elope?

My partner and I are booked in for a small wedding (6 guests) at the end of September this year, followed by a party at the local hall before going on a honeymoon. We've had various issues with the planning process, and I've posted on here before about the slow response times from our venue getting us down, which has been frustrating and taken some of the shine off the process.


I'm finding it hard to be excited when I think of everything we still need to plan and buy, as so much of it centres around my worrying about making other people happy, and coming across hurdles with other vendors.
We had the idea earlier this week to elope just the two of us to Scotland for a humanist wedding which we could then have outdoors, which really appeals to us. We'd lose some deposits but would overall have a saving, and were planning on a honeymoon in Scotland anyway (plus we got engaged there) so it makes sense. Just thinking about this change of plan made me feel excited about the wedding again.
My questions are primarily is this a silly idea (!) but also if anyone has any advice, experience or resources regarding an elopement to Scotland, as I worry about things such as maybe not being able to travel up there before September to check out the location, and won't be able to have a hair/make-up trial, etc.
Any thoughts appreciated!
