As this was their first time in Vietnam, we met at the accommodation and explored the area on the first day. The next day we head to the ceremony spot and witness their pure love at the epic waterfall.

Together, we soaked in the magical moments of Lydia & Stephen’s Two-Day SaPa Elopement Wedding while they got to enjoy an elopement and honeymoon trip in one of the most beautiful tropical countries in the world.

SaPa elopement tips

Elope during the week – Weekdays are less crowded than weekends, so you will have a more intimate experience. Other vendors are more likely to be available on weekdays, giving you more choices when choosing your elopement suppliers.

Arrive earlier – If you can, arrive in SaPa at least a day or two before your elopement day. This way you can explore the area, familiarise yourself, and even find a location for your ceremony.

Bring water and snacks – The last thing you want to feel on your elopement day is hungry or thirsty. I recommend bringing a couple of bottles of water and some snacks to keep energy levels up.
