Special options

If your ceremony in York doesn’t need to be legal (i.e. you have already done the legal part elsewhere) I can arrange for a wedding celebrant to create a truly bespoke wedding ceremony for you outside in York.

In the past we have had a fantastic ceremony which involved different vows and special words at various famous places in York and even involved pulling a pint in one of York’s oldest pubs! Let me know if you would be interested in a personalised ceremony.

How does it work?

Book your ceremony with York Register Office

If you are wanting a legal wedding ceremony, you will need to book this through York Register Office. If you would like input about the best times of day, year, or days of the week to book your ceremony, or any other questions about this part, please feel free to get in touch to ask and I will be able to offer my insight.

Contact us to book your elopement package

Once you have your ceremony booked, get in touch with me to tell me the date and I will check the availability of my suppliers. I’ll then put together a list of all your available suppliers and I will invite you to pay the deposit.

After you book

Once I receive your deposit, you will be sent a welcome pack in the post. This will contain all the information you need – including an introduction to each of your wedding suppliers and a timeline for what happens next.

Meet your experienced, local, York wedding elopement suppliers

As it gets closer to the wedding date, each of your suppliers (including your wedding coordinator) will be in touch with you to go over the specific details and to get to know you both a bit better. By the day of your wedding, you and all your suppliers will know exactly what is going to happen on the day, so you can relax and enjoy your wedding without having the stress of co-ordinating everyone.

What happens on the big day

Once everything has been planned, you will arrive in your accommodation the evening before your wedding. You will be free to explore the city of York in your leisure this evening. The next morning your florist will deliver your flowers, and your make up artist will come and do your hair and make-up. Your photographer will arrive at your apartment and take you to the ceremony.

You may have some pre-wedding photos in York before the ceremony (this will be decide in advance depending on your ceremony time and preference) and then you’ll meet your second witness (the photographer will also be a witness) before you go into York Registry Office.

After your ceremony, your photographer will take you on a personalised tour of the city of York for some more photos, before taking you to your chosen restaurant in time for your reservation (which we will have made for you).

You will then be free to enjoy your meal and explore York, or plan your own activities before returning to your accommodation on the night of your wedding.

Freedom and privacy combined with experienced support

This package has been designed for couples who want the freedom to enjoy and explore the beautiful city of York, but who also want some support and to benefit from the local knowledge of experienced wedding professionals. 

Stress free, all taken care of

You won’t have to work out what times you need to do each thing, or stress about finding the Registry Office. We will work out a personal itinerary, we’ll communicate with all suppliers,  and will make sure you are at the right place at the right time during your ceremony and for your wedding breakfast. 

Personal point of contact

Along your journey from starting to think about an elopement in York, to booking your ceremony, booking your elopement package, chatting with suppliers, and even on the morning of your wedding, you will always have the contact details of your personal wedding coordinator who will deal with any queries you have.

The importance of experienced, local wedding suppliers

After years of working with couples who elope to York and coordinate all their wedding plans so perfectly from far away, all our suppliers understand how important York is to so many couples. 

But in those years, although there have been so many perfect elopements, there have also been stories of missed appointments, let down brides, stresses of planning, uncertainty and traffic issues that could have been avoided if the couple had the benefit of insider knowledge of the York wedding community.

This group of wedding suppliers has been vetted to the highest standards. These are all established and reliable professionals who not only excel at their own wedding craft/ service, but above all else believe that a wedding day should be perfect and stress free.

All these professionals go above and beyond for their brides and grooms – this is not just another job – this is one of the most special days of your life.

What is not included? What you need to do

This elopement package covers everything you need to have a wonderful elopement in York – apart from the actual marriage! You will need to book your own wedding ceremony through York Register Office.

Don’t worry – we can tell you exactly what to do!

One of the stressful things about planning a wedding is making sure all your chosen suppliers are available on the same date. After messaging them all for a preliminary date, you then have to go back to the registry office to actually book, and hope that no suppliers have been booked up in the meantime.

But with this elopement package, that stress is taken away. Our network of vetted wedding professionals is wide enough to ensure you will always have a full team of professionals no matter what date you book your wedding.

Once you have booked your registry office wedding date, you can then book your elopement package.

What past couples have said

“We wanted an informal, private, relaxed day. York has always been our special place; we booked a mid-week elopement package. We eloped in secret, just the two of us. Emma took care of (almost) everything for us; in addition to being our photographer, she organised witnesses, (herself and a friend), florist, MUA and hair, the celebration lunch and facilitated contact and consultations with all the suppliers. All we needed to do was buy clothes and rings.
Emma made the whole process so easy and completely stress free – so much so that, when our florist contacted us, we hadn’t even bought our outfits yet!
We were ushered through the morning at a comfortable, relaxed pace, not once seeming rushed or too drawn out. Emma was very calm, engaging, and friendly – exactly what we needed for such an intimate wedding. Very knowledgeable about both the best spots for pictures and history of the area. Neither of us particularly enjoy having our photo taken and that comes across in 90% of pictures we take, Emma knew how to relax and pose us, without feeling silly, or over posed. The photos were beautiful reminder of our day. We received a great mix of flattering, informally posed and candid photos.
To say she was our photographer minimises the role she played. We entrusted (virtually) the entire planning and execution of our day to Emma and are so pleased we did.
Thank you xx”
