Recent Reports Show Increase in Eloping Couples, but Virginia Catering Company Says Celebration Still Possible

Vienna, United States – August 7, 2017 /MarketersMedia/

Many couples these days are choosing to elope in lieu of spending thousands of dollars on an expensive wedding, complete with hundreds of their family and friends. Gone are the days of eloping spontaneously to City Hall or having a cheesy Vegas ceremony. Modern-day elopers are planning tropical vacations and secret ceremonies costing more than $10,000 that focus primarily on their relationship together and don’t include invited guests.

Regardless of how couples choose to celebrate their wedding—whether they plan to elope, have a reception or party to celebrate with loved ones after they return home, or have a larger traditional ceremony, Saint Germain Catering can assist with providing delicious meals and food for newly married couples and their wedding guests.

One example that points to how prevalent eloping is becoming among engaged couples is from a New York-based company, Eloping Is Fun, that’s run by a wedding photographer and her husband. The company provides services to help couples with the eloping process by scouting out favorable locations and taking memorable photographs on the wedding day. The owner’s husband officiates the ceremony based on personal anecdotes and interviews provided by the couple to create a unique experience. In 2014, their first year in business, they married 20 couples. In 2016, that number rose to 60.

Many couples site pressure from families as being overwhelming, giving them a reason to elope. Others point to the stress that results from having to make tiny, exhaustive decisions, such as what everyone will eat, what the bridesmaids’ dresses will look like, whether the couple will have a head table at the reception or a sweetheart table or what type of flowers should be in the centerpieces. The decisions are endless, and many couples decide to forgo the traditional route as a result and instead have a private ceremony to commemorate their relationship.

Saint Germain Catering can create a menu that’s perfectly tailored for a couple’s budget, tastes and event needs. Whether it’s just an intimate meal or a larger gathering, Saint Germain Catering prepares delicious recipes with fresh local ingredients and gives the bride and groom one less thing to worry about on one of the most important days of their lives.

They serve the areas of northern Virginia, DC and Maryland with wedding-appropriate fare. Their American Wedding food package includes several hors d’oeuvres, such as caramelized brussels sprouts, shrimp ceviche shooters with butternut squash and chicken salad tartlets. Various dinner buffets are available also, consisting of seasonal dishes and vegetable medleys with fresh green salads and indulgent sides. Their offerings are sure to please the most discerning of palettes.
