North Yorkshire* Elopements
(*and beyond...)
let's run away...
Want to run away and celebrate your love with in the most intimate, wonderful way? If you're yearning for an adventure to celebrate your love story, I'm here for you.
​
There's so much beauty around us, so why not add your story to the landscape? I know the wild Yorkshire moors, have sought out waterfalls, and scrambled down cliffs to secret beaches. And I’d bloomin' love to share these with you. I'm a proper local, and I love to explore beautiful North Yorkshire; so let me take you by the hand.
​
Together we'll craft a ceremony as unique as your love for each other, inspired by your perfect story.
Choose your date, grab your photographer, and let’s head to the hills together. I can help you find the perfect spot, and I'll even bring the champers...
​
How do elopement ceremonies work?
For me, elopement ceremonies are as varied as those who choose them. They can look however you like, and every single element is based around what you want – that’s why you’re doing this, after all!
And this is where I come in; taking you through the options, and creating a ceremony – a moment – that truly reflects whatever your heart desires.
​
As your Celebrant, I think of my role in one of two ways...
The Facilitator
Let me create space for you; empower and support you to be yourselves in a uniquely personal ceremony. This is a light-touch Celebrant moment, where it’s about the two of you together, sharing vows and hopes. I would hang back and lead from afar.
As your Celebrant, I could structure your time together, support you with your vows, scout out locations, hold your hand through it all. It’s all about making sure you feel your most confident and authentic selves, and it’s so much bloomin’ fun.
The Leader
Let me create you a ceremony that celebrates your life and your journey! Much like a wedding ceremony, we explore rituals, storytelling, incorporate endless elements that make you shine.
It’s in-depth, truly joyful, and without limits. Add in your two witnesses or none, it’s a chance for you to reflect and delight in your love.
But this is only the start! There are so many ways to bring your elopement to life and it all begins with a chat.
​
Get in touch – I want to hear everything!
"We chose to work with Eleanor for our ceremony, and it was the BEST decision! She is such a joy, and an incredibly warm person.
We did not have a very clear idea of what we wanted for our ceremony initially, but Eleanor helped guide us through the process, and put us at ease! We were so very impressed with her creativity in crafting our ceremony; and the ceremony felt so personal to us."

feeling adventurous? here's how we'll bring your dream to life
We start with a no-obligation chat (on Zoom or in person), talking about how everything could work. I'll take the lead, and will always send you off at the end to see how everything feels.
​
If you choose to book with me, I do my happy dance, and we make a plan! It's all based around you and your specific vision, and we outline it all together.
​
We have meetings and WhatsApps and bring everything to life over the months, weeks, or days that we have.
On the day, I'm entirely yours. Scrambling, carrying, organising, whatever is needed.
​
I'll be prepared for all weathers (this is Yorkshire we're talking about), and will be equipped with everything we might need...​
​
Including champers, goodies, and everything to make your elopement memorable.

burning questions
Where could we elope to?
I've lived all over; from Pickering on the North York Moors, to Scarborough (Scarbados) on the coast. I now live in York, and years of exploring far and wide mean I know lots of hidden gems...​ Ruined castles, haunting monasteries. Ancient woodlands. Endless, prehistoric beaches. Moorlands that stretch for miles. Clifftops and valley viewpoints.​ I would LOVE to know your dream location. Let me know, and I'll do my best to scout out whatever you're looking for.
how much notice do you need?
I know that elopements can often be last minute, and that's absolutely fine. While as much notice as possible is always grand, I know that eloping doesn't often play by the rules! If you have flexibility, weekdays are a good bet. But let's chat! I'll always do my best to accommodate your vision.
Do we only have to elope to north yorkshire...?
No! The beauty of eloping is you can go literally anywhere. My knowledge of Yorkshire helps me with location scouting, but I'm more than happy to work on finding the perfect location anywhere at all. If you have somewhere in mind (anywhere!) I'd love to hear it! Prices may differ depending on how much support you need with location finding so always get in touch and we can make a plan.
Can we have guests
at our eleopment?
The best thing about an elopement is that it's only ever about you, and so for my elopement ceremonies, you can bring just two guests with you (excluding photographers). If you want more guests, you can absolutely recreate the elopement feel - bring everyone along on your adventure! If that sounds like what you're looking for, head to my Weddings page (there's no limit on where we can go...).
