The Elopement Society (ssssh, its a secret society for illicit romance) offers an 'Escape to Edinburgh Elopement Package'.
Designed for wee weddings and elopements in picture perfect Edinburgh, I gather your ideal suppliers, supporting local independent creative businesses.
We have a simple base package featuring half day photography + celebrant to officiant & help plan the ceremony + flowers + cake, all from around £3500. We can also help with any other suppliers, spaces and venues, from places to eat and drink to music and entertainment, hair & makeup - whatever you need to make the day yours.
We’re the local tastemakers, the ideas folks, the industry renegades. We share all the secrets and stop planning from afar feeling like mission impossible. We’re here to make sure you feel like locals and that your celebration spaces become a home from home. As my design assistance is an add-on to my photography services, I don’t charge you the same fees as a traditional planner would have to.
We’re affordable, creative, relaxed and eco-focussed. We’re often the first to suggest local spaces become elopement services or the first to use them. So come for creative, modern, fuss-free solutions to build a truly unique and special experience you can treasure.
Proud member of Rebel Love Directory, always aiming to become a better ally for LGBTQ+ couples.
Using my local knowledge and little black book of local creatives, makers, venues and spaces, we lean into your love story to curate a beautifully unique day that you will never forget. We can stop at all the famous spots but we’ll also take you to the places us locals love so you get a feel for the real Edinburgh while you are in town.

Your Photographer
“Fun little fact: during my hair trial, Monica asked me why we chose Edinburgh to get married, and my answer without hesitation: that’s where Solen is.
When we decided to elope, I spent a good few weeks foraging the internet for inspiration, unsure if we’d go somewhere exotic or closer to home. I came across castles and beaches, highlands and barns, but none of them felt like us. Then I found The Elopement Society and everything just clicked. Your work, your vibe, and of course your blatant disregard of traditional wedding rules. You are a delight to work with.”
You can get married ANY-WHERE in Scotland. Venues no longer need to be licensed for a wedding — this makes our services a cost effective way of designing a day unique to you.
Of course, we have many favourite spots, venues and hideaways in case you need some ideas! We currently cover Edinburgh and East Lothian, with it’s untapped potential - beautiful beaches, woods, castle ruins, coffee shops, distilleries and historic harbour towns, there are a heap of options to make your celebration there feel utterly unique and off the radar.
ELOPING IS FREEDOM
We specialise in designing Edinburgh elopements and small scale weddings for up to around 20 guests, that are as unique and thoughtful as all the moments that led you to this special day.
Bringing together the best creative businesses, venues and suppliers in our favourite neighbourhoods ensures that your wedding day is one you’ll never forget.
With our little black book of independent creative suppliers, you can rest assured that your day will be as unique as your love story. Check out our elopement stories from couples that have come before to see how each elopement comes alive in unrecognisable ways.
We were delighted to be part of the small business campaign, Bross Bagels ran during one of the lockdowns. Together we put together a competition to win a wedding. Ashley and Kelsey won. Yaldy. What a pair of legends. I’m so glad the prize went to such lovely humans and it felt like such a great thing to be involved in.
