What if you let go of the seating chart, the stress of planning, and the family expectations to live something deeply real—just the two of you? An elopement for two is so much more than a trend. It’s a return to what really matters. For many couples we work with, it just makes sense. Whether it’s in Québec or somewhere else in the world, we guide you every step of the way to make this unique moment a true celebration of your love.

In this article, you’ll hear from couples who stepped off the beaten path and experienced their elopement in the most simple, meaningful, and unforgettable way.

Yes, an Elopement for Two Can Be Legal!

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a huge wedding or a guest list a mile long to make your union official. Getting married with just the two of you is absolutely possible—and perfectly legal. Whether you’re exchanging vows in the middle of nature or in a quiet, private setting, this type of wedding lets you create a day that’s all about you—with no compromises.

What Is an Elopement for Two, Exactly?

An elopement for two is an intimate commitment, usually in a breathtaking location that resonates with you—often in nature, but not always. No crowd, no pressure. Just the two of you, your love… and maybe a photographer quietly documenting every heartfelt moment.

It can be legal or symbolic, in Québec or anywhere around the world. Some couples sign the paperwork before or after the ceremony. Others ask us to officiate (yes, we can do that too!). The idea is to create a moment that’s totally you, and totally free.

Why Choose an Elopement for Two?

To Have a Day That Truly Feels Like You

Forget the rules and traditions—you get to choose. Maybe it’s a ceremony on a mountain peak, in a misty forest, or on a beach halfway across the world. Every detail becomes intentional.

To Reconnect With Each Other

An elopement for two is a pause in time. You can write your vows in secret, walk hand in hand to the ceremony spot, and take deep breaths along the way. There’s nothing to prove—just to be together.

To Travel Far—or Rediscover Home in a New Way

Some couples come to us with a dream: to get married in Bali, Scotland, or Iceland. Others want to explore Québec’s wild landscapes. Good news—we know some incredible spots for both kinds of adventures.

“When we met them on our wedding day, it felt like reconnecting with old friends. They were so discreet, and let us fully enjoy our day without stress.”

— Sylvain & Anaïs, elopement in Charlevoix

FAQ: Elopement for Two

Can it be legal with just the two of us?

Absolutely. We can help you plan a legal elopement for two in Québec or abroad—as long as it follows the local laws.

In Québec, Josée is a certified officiant, which means she can legally marry you and take care of all the official paperwork. You just give her the info—she’ll handle the rest.

What if we want to do this abroad?

We’ll help you decide between a legal ceremony abroad (based on the country’s laws) or a symbolic one there, paired with a legal one in Québec. Many couples choose the second option—it’s simpler, but just as meaningful. Either way, we’ll walk you through it all.

Do we need witnesses?

Yes, you need two witnesses for a legal wedding in Québec. If no one’s tagging along on your big day, no worries—we’ll help find someone local. The goal is for you to enjoy this day with ease, even if it’s truly just the two of you.

What happens after the ceremony?

An elopement for two isn’t just a quick vow exchange—it’s a whole day to live fully together.

We can be there from the morning prep to a mountaintop hike, a forest picnic, a quiet lakeside moment, or a private dinner in a cozy cabin.

We plan it all with you so every moment—from sunrise to sunset—feels like yours.
