Planning a small wedding should feel simple...
...But Micro Weddings are often the hardest to plan.
They're either...
Too big for an elopement or too small for traditional planners, and somehow more overwhelming than both.
That's where we come in
From day one, our goal has been to make getting married feel simple, meaningful, and completely stress-free
Back then, elopements weren't really understood, so we created a process that took the pressure off and helped couples feel completely cared for.
Today, we bring that same approach to micro-weddings.
Because planning your wedding shouldn't feel overwhelming. With the right team beside you, every detail is handled, every decision feels easier, and you get to stay focused on what matters most: celebrating the beginning of your marriage.
We started Eloping Is Fun 15 years ago with one mission...

The difference is how you want to get there.
Whether you want something beautifully streamlined or completely one-of-a-kind, we have a path that meets you there.
Structured, refined, and designed to make this feel easy.

We’re still on a cloud from our wedding, from the welcome dinner the night before at La Mercerie to the last toast of the night at the reception, we could not be happier. We loved their thoughtful guidance, creativity, and practical know-how. Can’t imagine our wedding without them.
I cannot say enough good things about Jenny, Becca, Payton, and Krisanne. They all made my day seamless, answering any and all of the many questions I had throughout planning. They brought to life my dream micro-wedding going above and beyond because they genuinely wanted me and my husband to have a great day.
— Morgan & Chris
I could write a novel about how amazing this experience was, but I’ll sum it up like this: Eloping Is Fun doesn’t just plan weddings — they create once-in-a-lifetime memories.

From our first phone call I knew immediately I was going to have the best time. Becca, our micro wedding planner was also amazing!!! If I had any questions or concerns she was quick to get back to me and also always very helpful!! Everyone who knows me kept saying how “oh my gosh you’re the least stressed bride I’ve ever met” and that’s all thanks to EIF. They took 100% of the stress out of it for me!! I wouldn’t have had it any other way!!!!

Click through a few of our favorite New York spaces and discover the atmosphere, energy, and experience each one brings.
The right venue doesn't just hold your wedding, it shapes how the entire day feels.
Celestine delivers one of the most striking backdrops in the city for a micro wedding. Nestled beneath the Manhattan Bridge with uninterrupted skyline views, the setting feels expansive while still somehow intimate. Inside, the design leans bright, textured, and understated, making it an amazing fit for couples who want a celebration that feels contemporary, effortless, and deeply tied to the energy of New York.

The private dining spaces at Café Cluny have this effortlessly cinematic West Village charm. Between the checkered floors, layered candlelight, polished brass details, and buzzing little tables, the entire space feels alive in a way that’s intimate without ever being overly serious. It’s perfect for couples who want the night to feel social, stylish, and genuinely fun from beginning to end.
Cafe Cluny
Tucked down a hidden alleyway on the Lower East Side, Freemans has a mood that feels almost cinematic. The space is layered with antique objects, crackling fireplaces, dim corners, and that perfectly imperfect downtown character that makes guests immediately settle in. It works especially well for couples drawn to spaces that feel creative, intimate, and a little offbeat in the best possible way.
Freemans
Little Owl captures that classic neighborhood Manhattan feeling that people fall in love with. Sitting quietly on a tree-lined West Village corner, it has an atmosphere that feels welcoming, lived-in, and naturally intimate. Weddings here tend to feel less like an event and more like one unforgettable evening spent eating incredible food, passing bottles of wine around the table, and lingering with the people you love most.

The wine cellar at Il Buco feels like slipping into another era of downtown New York. Stone walls, flickering candlelight, weathered wood, and shelves lined with old bottles create this rich, intimate atmosphere that feels more like a hidden European supper club than a wedding venue. It’s ideal for couples who want something soulful, intimate, and quietly luxurious without any of the typical wedding energy.

why couples work with us
Clarity
Planning a wedding comes with a thousand decisions, and most couples don't know where to start. We bring clarity to the process by helping you understand your options, identify what matters most, and move forward with confidence. No endless Googling, conflicting advice, or second-guessing. Just a clear path forward.
Direction
The wedding industry is full of choices, but more choices often create more overwhelm. We provide direction by turning ideas into action and helping you focus on the decisions that actually matter. Because time is expensive, mistakes are expensive, and planning fatigue is very real. Instead of spending months figuring it out alone, you can step into a process that's already been built for you.
Trust
Our couples want the peace of mind that comes from knowing they're in the right hands. You're not just investing in logistics. You're investing in experience, momentum, and the confidence that someone is looking out for every detail. We guide the process, solve problems before they happen, and make sure you can simply enjoy being engaged.
