OUR STRENGTH
Local Dream Teams
Meet our local dream teams, the heart and soul behind our bespoke wedding elopements.
Having hand-picked each one of them, we working with a network of trusted vendors who know their area like the back of their hand. Their familiarity with the local area ensures that each elopement unfolds amidst the most picturesque settings, away from busy crowds.
By choosing local vendors we also ensure that our elopements stay sustainable by limiting the travel (and travel costs) of the vendors. With their commitment to eco-conscious practices - leave no trace behind - they lead the way in preserving our precious environment while delivering moments of intimacy, beauty, and romance for our couples.
OUR VALUES
-
Sustainability
At Somewhere Crazy we’re committed to minimizing our ecological footprint by consciously choosing local vendors. By working with local photographers, celebrants, and other vendors, we reduce transportation emissions and support the local economy.
This approach not only promotes sustainability but also fosters a sense of community and connection. We prioritize vendors who share our values of eco-consciousness, seeking out those who use sustainable practices, source local and organic materials, and leave no trace behind our elopements.
-
Excellence
At Somewhere Crazy we are driven by a deep commitment to excellence. We believe that every detail matters and strive to deliver exceptional experiences for our couples.
From the initial consultation to the final moments of their elopement, we go above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of their special day is executed with precision and care. We carefully curate a network of top-tier vendors who share our commitment to quality, ensuring that our couples receive nothing but the best.
-
Mindfulness
By forgoing the traditional elaborate ceremonies and celebrations, elopements allow couples to focus on just each other. This means they can have a meaningful and intentional wedding experience that aligns with the couple’s values and desires, prioritizing intimacy, simplicity, and authenticity.
Most of the elopements we organize take place in serene natural settings, encouraging a connection with the environment and a sense of presence in the moment. With fewer distractions and expectations, couples can fully immerse themselves in the joy, love, and significance of their union.
