Who says you can't get married for under $1000?

1. San Francisco, CA - Hornblower Cruises Elopement Package
This package is perfect for you seafaring couples looking to elope.  You get a dockside ceremony for just the two of you performed by the yacht's uniformed captain, up to 30 minutes of private yacht time, chocolate truffles, a bottle of champagne, 2 keepsake champagne flutes, and a reserved window table.

2. Miami, FL - Intimate Miami Beach Weddings
Want to elope on the beach?  Get some sand between your toes?  Here you go.  This package includes your officiant, a small fresh flower bouquet for the bride, keepsake copy of your vows, they'll process the wedding license paperwork for you, 1/2 hour of photography with a high-res CD of at least 50 images, and planning/consultant time.

3. smack dab in between Austin and Houston, TX - Murski Homestead Bed & Breakfast
Planning a romantic Texas elopement?  This "Just the Two of You enhanced" package sounds quite lovely.  The package includes ceremony in the setting of your choice, your officiant, a photograph CD with photos that will be taken by the Innkeeper, a hand-tied fresh bouquet for the bride, a boutonniere for the groom, petite wedding cake, champagne or sparkling juice toast, overnight stay in one of their guest rooms, and breakfast delivered to your room the following morning.

4. Los Angeles, CA - Albertson Chapel
I'm looking at you, urban love couples. Albertson Chapel has some customizable options for you.  I started with the Basic Civil Ceremony which includes the venue (prime Miracle Mile location), your officiant, designer fresh flower decor, private bridal room, wedding coordinators, free parking, and free wi-fi.  Then I added The Chapel Package for some wedding portraits and the Priscilla bouquet option that included a bouquet and matching boutonniere.  All totaled, the cost was still under $1000 for a romantic elopement for two.

5. Las Vegas, NV - A Little White Chapel
Don't worry, I didn't forget about those of you wanting a Las Vegas elopement!  If you're gonna do it, why not do it right and elope to A Little White Chapel.  At one of the most famous chapels in Las Vegas, choose the Romance Package and you'll receive the chapel fee included in the price, traditional music, a witness if needed, 36 professional photographs, a bridal bouquet, a boutonniere, bride's garter, and a DVD of the ceremony.
