Elope in Savannah

What is the greatest strength of your relationship?

Kacie: Our team. We are truly a team that wins together. It is never me versus him. It is always us vs a problem.

Taylor: Definitely our communication.

Why did you decide to elope?

Kacie: We wanted our day to be about us. Not about the stress of planning or throwing some expensive party we wouldn’t even get a chance to enjoy. We just bought the most amazing house that we are making a home for ourselves. I am so glad our money went to that instead of some expensive one time event that would take months to plan and be so quickly over.

How did you find Simply Eloped?

Kacie: A google search confirmed that Simply Eloped was the best. It had the best reviews and vendors that they had vetted. We wouldn’t have to do a ton of our own research.

How did you know Simply Eloped was the right fit for you?

Kacie: We actually found both the officiant and photographer on Instagram, and after several in depth stalking sessions, I was sure they were the right fit for us.

What attracted you to the venue you eloped at?

Kacie: It was close enough to be an easy trip for our parents, but far enough that our friends wouldn’t be expecting an invite! Plus, Savannah is just a beautiful backdrop for an elopement.

What did you do before the wedding? How did you get ready? How did you feel in the moments leading up to your elopement?

Kacie: We took more time planning the honeymoon. We were so excited to take a trip and explore Savannah. The wedding itself sort of snuck on us! We didn’t think we would be so nervous, but the hour before took a lifetime!

Tell us about your experience with Simply Eloped leading up to and on your big day!

Kacie: It was amazing. The vendors all stayed in constant contact with us to help us get there. They both performed so beautifully – Melissa and Karen were just magic. I can’t even imagine another person having done all that they did. They made it perfect for us.

How did you celebrate after your elopement?

Kacie: We had a great family dinner and then spent the next week in a cabin in the woods. We were feeling very thankful we hadn’t listened to everyone who tried to talk us into a big, elaborate wedding.

What words of encouragement do you have for those considering eloping?

Kacie: Go for it! Everyone I know who has eloped has said it feels so much more intimate and special. Most people who have the big event don’t get to enjoy it the way they want and the cost is astronomical. Also, go for the big dress and the exciting suit. It might be an elopement but it’s still your day and you should feel fabulous!!

Why did you decide to elope?

Natasha: We did not want to have a large wedding and absolutely did not want to spend the money.

How did you find Simply Eloped?

Natasha: I googled ‘elopements’ in Savannah, Georgia.

How did you know Simply Eloped was the right fit for you?

Natasha: The reviews were great and included everything I wanted in a wedding – for the right price.

What attracted you to the venue you eloped at?

Natasha: Dinko and I visit Savannah every year and we love it. I had always wanted to get married there but thought it would be too difficult to arrange. But then I found Simply Eloped! We chose to wed at Pulaski Square, instead of Forsyth Park, so it would be more intimate.

What activities did you do before the wedding? How did you prepare? How did you feel leading up to the moments of your elopement?

Natasha: The day of the wedding, Pink Chique arrived to do my hair and makeup, which turned out exactly as I had wanted. Afterwards, Dinko and I just hung out in the hotel room and watched The Office until it was time to leave. Traffic was CRAZY and it took almost thirty minutes to get the five minutes from the hotel to the Square which added to our nerves. However, we made it on time and everything turned out perfectly.

Tell us about your experience with Simply Eloped leading up to and on your big day!

Natasha: Simply Eloped was so easy to work with and quick to answer any questions. I was amazed at their ability to read me and know exactly how to make our wedding absolutely perfect!

How did you celebrate after?

Natasha: After the ceremony, Dinko and I left everyone to take pictures which was so much fun and intimate. Then we went to River Street for dinner with our family and, afterwards, to a few bars to celebrate.

What words of encouragement do you have for those considering eloping?

Natasha: I feel that eloping made our wedding so special in that it was so intimate. We were really able to focus on the fact that this was about our love and nothing else. Everything was perfect and it was a dream come true to get married under the mossy trees in Savannah. Simply Eloped handled everything and took away so much of the stress that comes with planning a wedding.
