Let’s Elope to Martha’s Vineyard
As My Vineyard Elopement has been passionately creating and planning elopements on Martha’s Vineyard since 2013, we carry a unique perspective and insight. We are in love with intimate “micro” weddings and we want to share some of our favorite reasons for choosing to elope, and especially, to Martha’s Vineyard!
Perhaps you have always dreamed of eloping with just you and your love or perhaps in these unprecedented times you are now drawn to transforming your larger wedding into a more intimate wedding or “micro” wedding? Maybe you dream of a place with an iconic lighthouse as the backdrop or your toes in the sand with waves crashing behind you? How about a New England location steeped in rich history with timeless architecture and amenities? Martha’s Vineyard has all of this and more.
As a summer destination for New England travelers, and world travelers, for hundreds of years, the Vineyard has been a place of relaxation, adventure and fun. Along with being a haven for family and friend reunions, Martha’s Vineyard has become a top wedding destination for couples sharing their love and lifelong vows.
While elopements are often overlooked in the landscape of big weddings, filled with flare, as the world changes more people are shifting to smaller intimate weddings where the focus is truly on the couple and their love story. When a couple has the chance to express their love to one another, whether it be just the two of them or even 20 of their closest friends and family, magic happens.
Letting go of the often stressful and expensive process of hosting a larger wedding, with a 100 or more family and friends, leads to a more graceful, romantic and memorable wedding day. The opportunity for intimacy, stunning photos and loving personalized vows truly keeps the focus on you and your love. “We are passionate about creating intimate weddings and elopements that reflect your love story!” Jackie Kane, Proprietor, My Vineyard Elopement

The season is the first choice as choosing that perfect time of year for a couple can be challenging. Often couples eloping choose the summertime when they think of Martha’s Vineyard. Summer does provide those stunning sunsets and that warm golden sun that kisses the earth but don’t forget the rest of the year! Spring on the Vineyard is wonderful when everything is first blooming and the air is fresh and sweet. The summer rush hasn’t arrived yet and so it feels like you have the island all to yourselves.
Fall in New England just speaks for itself. Think leaves changing on trees, apple cider season and warm days filled with autumn crisp air. That leaves winter as the underdog. Most couples don’t think of visiting the ocean in December but, let me tell you, Martha’s Vineyard does winter right. The island is full of seasonal cheer with local businesses all decorated with twinkling romantic lights, and snow kissed grounds. The ambience provides stunning backdrops for ceremonies, photos and nightcaps by a warm cozy fire. No matter what season you choose, Martha’s Vineyard won’t disappoint as your elopement destination.
Location is the next thing we think of when planning an elopement and the island does not disappoint for options. One of our favorites is by the iconic Edgartown Lighthouse, a famous backdrop that is stunning in all seasons. There are so many choices throughout the island, including sandy beaches with crashing waves, quiet wooded ponds with mossy trees or even a sailboat gliding through the open sea. Martha’s Vineyard provides a multitude of private feeling beautiful backdrops to choose from for your micro wedding or elopement. With so many unique options there is certainly a special location for you and your love to share your vows.
One of the best parts about an elopement is choosing a romantic restaurant, with intimate, outdoor dining, to host you and your party following your ceremony. My Vineyard Elopement also loves creating a special ambience on the beach or at your vacation home with one of our amazing chefs. That’s the great part about eloping ~ the possibilities are endless and yet always filled with simple elegance, ease and grace.
When choosing a destination for an elopement the hotel or inn selection is one of the most important choices. This will be your home away from home while visiting so it is important to feel welcome and taken care of. Martha’s Vineyard has some of the finest establishments in New England to choose from. From quaint seaside inns to large historic hotels, they are all ready to welcome you.
We could go on and on about all the reasons to choose Martha’s Vineyard when looking for elopement destinations. The possibilities are endless with location, season, dining, quaint inns and hotels to call home. With so many wonderful options we hope you choose to elope to Martha’s Vineyard when planning your intimate wedding day.
