When you choose to elope in Scotland with us, we want you to feel completely taken care of — like every little detail is handled, so you can focus on the fun part (you know, the “marry your favourite human under a Scottish waterfall” bit).
Behind the scenes, there’s a lot of careful coordination that goes into making your day feel effortless. We’re talking locations, timings, travel routes, weather checks, vendors, permits, accommodation, even making sure you know which side of the road to drive on. It’s a lot.
That’s why we use something called Elopement Buddy — our digital right-hand pal that helps us keep everything organised, connected and stress-free for you (and for us).
What is Elopement Buddy?
Elopement Buddy is basically a purpose-built command centre for elopements. It brings everything — from your timeline and mood boards to travel info and vendor updates — into one shared space that you can access whenever you like.
No endless email threads. No digging through attachments. No wondering what time the bagpiper’s arriving or whether you’ve got the right postcode for your ceremony spot.
It’s all in one place, updated in real time, so you always know what’s happening.
How It Makes Your Experience Better
When you work with us, we invite you to your own Elopement Buddy space — a private online hub that keeps your entire elopement plan neat and easy to follow.
Here’s what that means for you:
- Clear timelines, beautifully visualised. You’ll see exactly what happens when — from sunrise photos to your evening dinner reservation — all adjusted automatically if we need to change something.
- Smart alerts. We get notified when we’re close to your elopement location (even out in the Highlands with patchy signal) so we can focus on you, not the map.
- Collaborative planning. We can share inspiration boards, vendor details, and travel tips with you directly, and you can comment or upload anything you’d like us to see.
- Weather & travel info built in. If there’s a change in forecast or a road closure near your ceremony spot, we’ll know about it right away and have a Plan B ready before you even need to ask.
- All your people in sync. Whether it’s your celebrant, makeup artist or videographer, everyone gets the info they need — without you having to lift a finger.
Why It Matters
The magic of eloping in Scotland comes from freedom — the ability to slow down, be present and soak in the moment. But that kind of peace doesn’t happen by accident. It’s carefully built through planning, attention to detail, and the right tools behind the scenes.
Elopement Buddy helps us take care of all the logistics quietly and efficiently, so you never have to worry about them. You just get to show up, live your love story, and trust that everything else is handled.
Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned after years of helping couples elope here, it’s that the best adventures happen when you can stop thinking about what’s next — and simply be here, now.
