Eloping is a general term used for a small intimate wedding, in the state of Michigan you must have at least the two of you and two witnesses, over 18 years old present to get legally married. 

So whether you are truly eloping or hosting an intimate wedding there are a few things to plan for and keep in mind. Let's start at the beginning. 

• You'll need to decide on a location and date; you can think of eloping at a local park to keep it free for your wedding location or you can even rent a beautiful venue to host your small intimate ceremony. Thinking outside the box when it comes to location is key. Any pretty spot citywide or parkside can be perfect for you. 
• The Date - the great thing about eloping is that if you choose a weekday or middle of day time it's less likely to over populated so keeping your quiet and intimate wedding day vibe is more likely. It's important to think about the time of year you would like to elope, in Michigan the weather is so tricky so be prepared for that seasons weather swings.

You will need at minimum a legally ordained wedding officiant to meet with you to sign your marriage license and perform the ceremony. Other vendors could include a florist, photographer, videographer and catering for a sweet treat or full meal.
