Intimate. Intentional. Unforgettable.
That’s the new standard for modern weddings—and it starts with understanding the rise of elopements and micro-weddings.
Gone are the days when eloping meant running off to Vegas or the courthouse with little fanfare. Today’s couples are ditching the overwhelm of traditional weddings in favor of beautiful, meaningful celebrations that focus on connection—not crowds. And that’s exactly where After The Yes Events comes in.
What is an Elopement?
At its core, an elopement is a deeply personal ceremony, typically with just the couple (and maybe a few guests), focused entirely on the love story—not logistics.
Elopements are perfect for couples who:
Want a “just us” kind of moment, often with a photographer and officiant present
Want to say “I do” without the pressure of entertaining a crowd
Prefer an adventurous or scenic setting—like a mountain peak, ocean bluff, or private garden
Value the experience and emotion of the day more than a long guest list
What is a Micro-Wedding?
A micro-wedding is a small-scale celebration—usually 10 to 40 guests—that includes all the beautiful touches of a full wedding, just with a shorter guest list and a more intimate vibe.
Micro-weddings are ideal for couples who:
Still want a big moment—without the big price tag or stress
Want a more traditional structure (ceremony, dinner, maybe a toast or first dance)
Crave high-end design and thoughtful details but on a smaller scale
Prefer to spend quality time with each guest instead of working the room
What Your Day Could Look Like
Imagine this…
You’re standing barefoot on the sand, surrounded by just your partner, your vows, and the sound of the ocean. Or maybe you’re tucked away in a vineyard with your closest family, sharing a candlelit dinner after an intimate ceremony under the trees.
With After The Yes Events, these aren’t pipe dreams—they’re beautifully curated realities.

💍 FAQ
💍 Frequently Asked Questions about Planning a San Diego Gazebo Proposal with The Yes Girls
Q: What’s the main difference between an elopement and a micro-wedding?
A: An elopement typically includes just the couple (and occasionally a few guests), while a micro-wedding is a more traditional celebration with a small guest list—usually between 10 to 40 people. Both are intimate, intentional, and focused on meaningful moments rather than big crowds.
Q: How far in advance should we book an elopement or micro-wedding?
A: We recommend booking 3–9 months in advance, depending on your location, season, and guest count. However, we do take last-minute elopement requests when availability allows—especially for weekday or off-season celebrations.
Q: Can we still have a beautifully designed setup with a smaller guest count?
A: Absolutely! At After The Yes Events, intimate doesn’t mean simple. We specialize in luxury design details like custom florals, elegant rentals, styled tablescapes, and curated experiences—no matter the size of your event.
Q: Do you plan destination elopements?
A: Yes! We plan elopements and micro-weddings nationwide and at select international destinations. Whether you’re dreaming of the California coast, the mountains of Colorado, or an exotic escape, we’ll help bring your vision to life.
Q: Can we still include traditional elements like vows, first dances, or cake cutting?
A: Of course! Many of our clients include vows, first looks, mini receptions, private dinners, or champagne toasts in their elopement or micro-wedding. You can personalize every detail—without the pressure of a full-scale wedding.
