Eloping venues

Marie, 6 July, 2021 at 13:45 Posted on Planning 0 7
Hey brides, me and my partner really want to elope just our 2 selves, but as a woman with Aspergers I struggle with things. I struggle with speaking on the phone so finding venues is a nightmare. I forget what I've been told etc so finding one online is better for me, and then communicating with them through email, but, I also get overwhelmed with all of the venues online. I've considered a wedding planner but the whole point of eloping was to save lots of money. Basically I want a weekend away where we can get married, perhaps with some romantic activities such as boat rides, a spa. I a from Northumbria so will consider anywhere North England, South Scotland. Does anybody know of any amazing places so I can just look straight on their website and save all of this stress.

    Hey! Have you looked at Gretna Green? There are some really good packages online, and I am sure that all is included except the registrar fees x

    Hey, I am actually originally from Gretna so trying to avoid there, I'm looking more somewhere that has more to do and more romantic/luxurious. Thankyou though x

    Have you looked at the MacDonald hotel in Bowness on Windermere? I know they do packages, I think a lot of the hotels around there do x

    Hi Marie,


    I love that idea of just you two eloping - even without the activities you are keen on, it sounds so romantic!
    I love planning trips away and just did a Google search and found a handy website:
    https://www.prideofbritainhotels.com/region/the-north/

    Not sure if it will come up with the hotels that came up after I put in some search criteria, but I had a quick scan through and they all look gorgeous!
    What it would be handy to do is draft a brief email that details what your plan is and what you would be looking for in your stay and then sending it to an email address for each hotel that you fancy the look of. You will probably get a response from most of them, if not all, so that may be overwhelming but it's your wedding, so best to have a shop around 😊 And it's a good way of filtering out ones that may not be suitable and getting it down to a few for you and your fiancé to decide from.
    If you need any more help, just let us know. People on here are lovely and happy to help!
    Good luck - I hope you find what you're looking for and hope you have the best wedding 😊x

    Have you seen Beacon Crag before? It’s down in Cornwall on top of a cliff overlooking the sea. The couple that run are absolutely lovely, and can also act as your witnesses so you don’t need to have any guests ☺️

    I find it easier to keep a notebook of wedding details, find say 4 venues you like, dedicate a page each to them and order their details in the same order so its quicker to find the detail you're after (address, telepohone number, email address, wedding co-ordinator, venue price, whats included in price etc).
