Tannya: WELCOME BACK TO
"LIVING 808."
ELOPEMENTS IN 2020 LOOK A LOT
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU PROBABLY
PICTURE.
John: IT CAN MEAN TYING THE
KNOT WITH AS MUCH FAN FARE WITH
LESS HASSLE THANKS TO PLANNERS
LIKE THE MODERN ELOPEMENT.
Tannya: LIVING808 AT HOME
IS TALKING ABOUT WEDDING BUT NOT
ELOPEMENT EXPERT.
AND THA THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
ABSOLUTELY.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
Tannya: YOU ARE AN
ELOPEMENT CONCIERGE AND
TELL ME HOW YOU GOT STARTED.
ABSOLUTELY.
WHEN I WAS 18.
I STARTED PLANNING WEDDINGS, I
JOINED MODERN A MODERN ELOPEMENT TWO
YEARS AGO.
STARTED BY MORGAN CONOR.
SHE GREW UP ON KAUAI.
I STARTED WORKING WITH HER ABOUT
GO YEARS AGO.
SHE NOTICED THAT THERE'S A TREND
THE BIG, TRADITIONAL WEDDING.
COULDS NOWADAYS DON'T WANT SO
MUCH 9 BIG, LAVISH WEDDINGS
THEIR PARENTS HAD BUT WANT AN
INTIMATE EXPERIMENT.
THAT'S WHAT DREW ME TO MODERN
ELOPEMENT.
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE
ANYMORE, RIGHT?
NOT ANYMORE.
THAT'S WHAT WE CONSIDER THE OLD
ELOPEMENT.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE MODERN
ELOPEMENT.
UP TO THE TWO OF YOU -- DUE TO
DIFFERENT REGULATIONS THAT WE
HAVE WE'RE SEEING THAT PEOPLE
HAVE TO STAY WITH TEN OR UNDER.
IT'S A SMALLER, MORE INTIMATE
WEDDING THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
STILL HAS THE LUXURY FEEL
WITHOUT THE BIG PRICE TAG AND
WITHOUT THE STRESS AND HEADACHE.
Tannya: THAT WOULD BE
ATTRACTIVE TO PREVENT THE BRIDE
DBRIDE -- BRIDEZILLA MOMENT.
WHAT I DO IS I DO THE INITIAL
CALL.
WHEN THEY TELL ME WHAT THEIR
DREAM WEDDING IS.
AND I WORK WITH THEM.
THEY DO ALL THE WORK SO THEY'RE
NOT HAVING TO MESSAGE
PHOTOGRAPHERS OR HAIR AND MAKEUP
ARTISTS OR MUSICIANS.
I DO ALL THE WORKING FOR THEM,
WHICH IS EVEN BETTER.
TO HAVE SOMEONE ON YOUR TEAM TO
TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR YOU.
WHAT A MODERN ELOPEMENT
CEREMONY, EVERYTHING IS
INCLUDES.
IT'S A ONE-STOP SHOP.
I DO ALL THE DIRTY WORK SO YOU
ENCOURAGE BEING ENGAGED AND
MARRIED.
Tannya: IS THIS A GOOD
OPTION FOR LOCALS?
ABSOLUTELY.
TRADITIONALLY LOCAL WEDDINGS ARE
THESE BIG, FESTIVE EVENTS.
WE CAN HAVE THAT FEEL.
WHAT WE RECOMMEND IS TO HAVE A
SMALL, INTIMATE CEREMONY THAT
FOCUSES ONLY YOU.
YOU CAN STILL GET MATTERED THIS
THIS -- MARRIED THIS YEAR.
NOT HAVING TO WAIT.
WHEN THINGS GET TO NORMAL, YOU
HAVE A BIG PARTY.
YOU GET TO HAVE YOUR CEREMONY
NOW AND YOU CAN DO A BIG BASH
LATER.
Tannya: HOW DO PEOPLE GET
IN TOUCH WITH MODERN ELOPEMENT?
IF THAT'S SOMETHING THEY WANT TO
CONSIDER NOW?
ABSOLUTELY.
THERE ARE SIMP SEVERAL DIFFERENT
WAYS.
WE WENT FROM A LOCAL PLANNING
SERVICE TO INSPIRATION.
SO THEY CAN GO ONLINE TO MODERN
ELOPEMENT.com.
THEY CAN REACH OUT TO US AT
ALOHA @MODERN ELOPEMENT.com OR
CALL OUR OFFICE NUMBER.
OR INSTAGRAM IS A GREAT WAY.
Tannya: NICOLE, THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR TELLING EVERYONE
ABOUT THIS.
WE WISH ALL THE COUPLES THE BEST
OF LUCK WITH WHATEVER THEY
DECIDE.
ABSOLUTELY.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
Tannya: ABSOLUTELY.
LOOK AT ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL
PICTURES.
A LOT OF PEOPLE, EVERYONE FROM
JLO TO A-ROD CHANGED THEIR
PLANS.
