Fall has officially became our most popular elopement season beause the leaves don’t just change, they put on a full cinematic performance. The mountains turn a glowing mix of rust, gold, plum and crimson, the air feels crisp but comforting, and there’s something about the light this time of year that makes every photo look like it was taken for a magazine cover!

This October, Jim Thorpe Elopements and our incredible team helped so many wonderful couples say their vows. Some vows were said beneath archways of fiery trees, some deep in the woodlands and some around a stunning historical barn and every single one of them said the same thing: Their whole experince of working with us felt effortless.

One couple shared:

“From start to finish Jim Thorpe Elopements was thorough, attentive, and highly creative. Most importantly we could easily tell how much Preston, Laurette, and their team cared for how our most important day as a couple turned out. From getting ready to the cake and champagne everything was thoughtfully planned. Our day was stress free but memorable. We would 100% recommend eloping with Jim Thorpe Elopements”

Another wrote:

“Jim Thorpe Elopements were an amazing support system and coordinator team throughout the whole process. They were attentive, responsive, and gave great recommendations on everything, including local places to stay.​They coordinated the best vendors for bridal hair and makeup, cake, and florals, and helped us find an officiant who truly aligned with our values and personalities. Everything was effortlessly coordinated and catered to our specific wants and needs!”

First time hearing about Jim Thorpe Elopements?

We’re a full-service team, with years of experince in the wedding and elopement industry. We quietly handle everything in the background, photography, officiating, florals, cake, hair and makeup, plus we have proud partnerships with beautiful local venues like Poconos Weddings LLC and The Barn at Graves Tree Farm. You don’t have to piece anything together or guess what’s possible. You simply dream (a little), arrive (calm), and let you elopement unfold (beautifully).

How’s it work?

Great question! All our couples start by filling in our contact form, answering a few thoughtful questions, nothing overwhelming and then we invite you book to a relaxed call.

We do this with every single couple, because elopements are never just an online booking. They’re personal. They deserve human connection, clarity, and space to explore what your day could be. That call is where things begin to feel real and for the record we work with all kinds of couples.

Couples who have been quietly planning this for months and just needed the right team to make it real.

Couples who’ve discovered the idea of eloping five minutes ago and felt instant relief.

The adventurous couple who are this close to running away into the woods (and need someone to bring cake and a legal officiant).

The couples who want something meaningful, but have absolutely no idea what that might look like, yet.

The ones secretly planning it with just a handful of people knowing (or no-one knowing).

Couples who’ve done the big wedding before and now just want something intimate!

Whatever kind of couple you are, that first chat will help you both picture what your day could be. It’s relaxed. It’s human. And it tends to be the moment everything starts to make sense. We also share lots of tips, such as our blog: It’s Okay To Elope
