Oh, hi there!
My name is Morgan Childs and I am a former celebrity wedding planner who fell in love with small weddings.
I have been working as a wedding planner for over 20 years doing everything from celebrity to backyard weddings, But, 11 years ago I realized that there was no good solution for couples wanting to do an affordable small wedding and still have a beautiful and meaningful experience. Either they had to wed with the bare minimum or pay a ton of money because the wedding industry is geared towards larger groups.
So I got to work and created our signature Modern Elopement Collection, we curate the top vendors, choose the best locations and pour our hearts into creating beautiful designs and a truly effortless planning experience. And now more than a decade later, hundreds of couples agree it is the ideal way to wed without sacrificing all the best parts that make a wedding day so special.
Now we have finally been able to bring our planning services to all couples planning small weddings with the Modern Wed Club. A new way for couples to plan where they have access to a wedding planner, a guided planning experience, pro resources, community & so much more. Small weddings are different and all couples should have what they need to plan the wedding they want.
And for those couples who are strictly DIY, we have an Elopement Shop curated with must-have items created just for elopement couples.
We believe small weddings are for everyone and we can’t wait to meet you!
“We have re-imagined how to plan a small wedding, so you get to have the wedding day you want - without the rules, stress or the hefty price tag.”
