There are multiple ways to do your elopement ceremony as there are places to get married.
Just us. This is usually what elopement ceremonies are all about: just you two there and all the moments will be shared by you two. No guests or family members there. The ceremony is still official for you to get legally married.
Intimate ceremony. This is usually used in the meaning that in the ceremony there can be your parents, siblings or only your best friends involved. If you feel nervous about sharing your vows with your partner in front of your family, you can have a separate moment where you share them and then the moment where your family attends.
Symbolic marriage. The simplest way to get married. Eloping can happen anywhere. A symbolic ceremony is in most places not legally recognized so you will be needing an officiant to officiate you as a married couple.
Civil ceremony. Usually happens in a courthouse and you will sign the register. You will mostly need witnesses (usually two) to sign the register also.
Religious ceremony. If you wish to have a religious ceremony abroad, it’s good to start by contacting your local with necessary requirements. They can have recommendations of the church to get married in.Hand-fasting. It's an ancient Irish tradition, where the couple's hands are tied together as a symbol of their union. The celebrant ties the couple’s hands together with several ribbons.
Unity ceremony: are symbols of the choice you're making to merge your life with your partner. There can be unity candles, planting a tree together, combining two different drinks into one. -

Brittany & Shane’s Mulagljufur elopement
Brittany & Shane took a chance on me when I suggested their elopement day be far away from the popular tourist locations. For Brittany and Shane, it was important to have some privacy in the locations during their Iceland elopement and not have a feeling they needed to be rushing from location to location to beat out the tourist crowds. And it was also important for them that they would remember throughout the day why they were eloping.
They enjoyed every moment of it; seeing more of Iceland's untouched terrain and having a beautiful ceremony in the heart of the country.
As both of them enjoyed travelling, more remote locations weren't out of the question.
