Whether you’re on a strict budget or just want to avoid the fuss of a big wedding, many couples choose to elope. As with traditional wedding packages, elopement packages are becoming the norm. So what should you look for in the best jailbreak package? Read on for some tips!

1. Convenience – Couples decide to elope because they want a quick and stress-free wedding, however if you are getting married in a state or place you are unfamiliar with it can get a little more complicated. The best elopement package service will offer logistical help regarding assistance with applying for your marriage license, an in-depth knowledge of state marriage license requirements, and any other logistical advice they can give you. As the local contact in that state, you should literally be your “resident expert” and be available to answer any questions you may have.

2. Great Member Deals – When choosing your elopement package, ask about any member discounts they may have. For example, is ground transportation to and from the airport or to and from the ceremony location included? If not, can you send it to a business partner who may offer a discount for the referral service?

3. All-Inclusive – When looking for an elopement package, you’ll often find resorts or bed-and-breakfasts that will hold your ceremony as part of an “all-inclusive” package. These offers may include a stay in a honeymoon suite, a small wedding cake, light hor’douvers, ground transportation, flower arrangements, music, and complimentary toasting glasses and other souvenirs. Be sure to read the fine print for additional fees and requirements.

4. Guest Accommodations: You may be eloping, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be inviting guests and family members to witness your ceremony. Oddly enough, there are some smaller establishments that cannot accommodate more than a handful of guests. If you and your spouse-to-be have decided to invite more than seven to ten people to participate in your ceremony, be sure to check with the resort or bed and breakfast to find out how many people they can handle.

5. Honeymoon Location: An ideal getaway destination will also work as a great honeymoon destination. Similarly, a great elopement package will offer special discounts and exclusive deals for eloping couples who “upgrade” to a honeymoon package. These offers may include suite upgrades, free breakfast, special dinners, spa packages or activity allowances.
