Sam the owner of E-lope and The Wedding Owl
INTRO
As the owner and creator behind every E-Lope wedding, Sam’s role goes far beyond coordination, she is the storyteller who weaves every detail into a celebration that feels completely yours. From the moment you book, she works alongside you to design a wedding that reflects your personalities, style, and vision.
With an ever-growing collection of beautiful cutlery, glassware, plates, and decorative pieces, Sam transforms tables into works of art. Working closely with Ruth of House of Mimi Fleur, she blends florals and finishing touches to bring your Pinterest boards to life, with tablescapes that are as inviting as they are unforgettable.
We are delighted to announce that Sam has just won Intimate Wedding Planner of the Year for London and the South East Engand, Prestige Awards 2025/26

Sam’s elopement PORTFOLIO
“I love turning a couple’s ideas into something they can see, touch, and sit down to enjoy. Every plate, glass, and candle is chosen to create not just a table, but an intimate moment.”
Why is it important to Sam that couples can elope?
Hosting tiny weddings matters to Sam because she believes every couple deserves a day that feels easy, calm, and deeply personal. This is exactly what couples describe in their reviews.
Many say they “felt supported from the first message,” “knew they were in safe hands,” and “could finally relax” once planning began. That sense of relief and reassurance is why Sam cares so deeply about making elopements accessible.
She believes couples should enjoy a celebration without overwhelm or pressure. Therefore, eloping becomes a chance to experience a day where planning feels simple, thoughtful, and truly understood. Couples often mention how Sam “made everything so easy” and how the day “ran so smoothly” because the focus stayed on what mattered most — their connection.
For Sam, elopement planning isn’t just a service. It’s a way to give couples a beautiful alternative when life is busy, emotional, or full of change. Eloping allows people to choose time together, joy, and presence, instead of performance.
Most of all, Sam wants couples to feel supported, cared for, and completely themselves. Tiny weddings create the perfect space for that — and for her creativity to shine
