Sometimes, a big wedding just isn’t in the cards—but that doesn’t mean you
and your honey need to run off to Vegas. Couples now have a gorgeous romantic
getaway option in Hillsdale, Wisconsin.

A premier venue for Wisconsin weddings, the Enchanted Barn’s new Elope With
Us package extends the barn’s availability beyond the 52 Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays each year.

“We know that not everyone wants a big weekend affair that takes months of
planning,” says owner Lorin Humphrey. “Our new elopement package is perfect for
those couples, while still allowing them access to the many amenities we
offer.”

The package includes an intimate ceremony at the barn; then they can start
their honeymoon the same day with a stay in the on-site bridal suite. They can
add various luxuries such as pampering spa services, a private dinner and more.

Video and streaming services of the ceremony are also available so the couple
can share the moment with friends and family. “Imagine a Tuesday-morning sunrise
ceremony with no one watching, but it can be recorded to share with family and
friends at your leisure,” says Humphrey.

The package is generally available Monday through Thursday, though Sunday may
be an option. (Nearby Canoe Bay Resort is also available for accommodations if
the on-site suite is booked.) “Elopements” can be planned in a shorter timeframe
than a traditional wedding, usually about one to two months.

“Too many times, couples look forward to things surrounding their wedding
instead of experiencing the moment,” says Humphrey. “The elopement package
allows the couple to truly experience the memories being made.”
