Historically, June has always been the most popular month for weddings. The month of June derives its name from Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. It was thought that couples who married in June would be blessed with prosperity and happiness.

Planning the perfect wedding day brings with it an array of emotions. Laughter, love, pride and excitement can be equally balanced with high costs and stress for engaged couples – so it’s no wonder that 60% of engaged couples consider eloping.

Grosvenor Casinos has revealed the top eloping destinations and ranked them based on analysing multiple factors such as:

• Number of engaged couples looking to elope to said area
• Number of weddings per year
• Number of social posts about “eloping”

California revealed as the top destination for a ‘runaway’ wedding. Known for its cliff-lined beaches, warm weather and laid back nature, it’s clear to see why “the golden coast” is topping the Wedding elopement index.
