A comprehensive list of the best Tulsa venues for eloping!
You’re engaged, Yay!! You immediately jump into wedding planning. Before long the guest list is 350, ideas of a seating chart is causing you to break out in hives and you begin to feel as if the whole wedding is about the party and not the actual marriage. Let’s throw in a certain pandemic and now eloping sounds like the best choice for you and your fiancé. Gone are the days where you have to run off to elope (but if you want to, you know where to find me!) By eloping close to home, you are able to take the very best parts of a traditional wedding and mix them with all of the things that would truly make you and your fiancé happy.
A wedding that feel authentic to who you both are.
