Next Steps After You Get Engaged! (Especially If You Are Dreaming of a Norway Elopement!)
Congratulations! You just got engaged!
This is one of life’s big, beautiful moments. Now the question becomes…
What happens next?
At Promise Mountain, we specialize in helping couples ditch the stress and embrace the magic of a more meaningful celebration. If you're feeling the pull toward nature, adventure, and intimacy, a Norway adventure elopement might be exactly what you're looking for.
Here are your next steps — from “just engaged” to “just married” — with a little Nordic magic along the way.
1. Celebrate the Yes
Before you dive into planning, take a breath. Savor this time. Call your people. Share the news. Take a weekend getaway or just cozy up with your favorite comfort food. This is your moment. Let it linger.
2. Dream About What You Truly Want
Do you want to exchange vows in a place that feels sacred and wildly beautiful? Maybe with just the two of you surrounded by towering mountains and deep-blue fjords?
Start asking the big questions:
How do we want this day to feel?
Do we want guests, or something just for us?
What would a truly authentic wedding day look like?
If you're already drawn to nature and simplicity, an intimate Norway wedding in Geiranger or Loen might be your perfect fit.
3. Think Budget — But Focus on Experience
One of the beautiful things about eloping is that it’s inherently personal — and flexible. Instead of paying for hundreds of guests, you can invest in what actually matters to you.
At Promise Mountain, we offer all-inclusive elopement packages that take the guesswork out of planning. Whether you’re dreaming of a cliffside vow exchange in Geiranger or a mountaintop ceremony in Loen, we help you create an unforgettable Nordic elopement experience — without the overwhelm. From photography and planning to beautiful fjord-view hotels and mountaintop vow spots, we help couples invest in experiences, not stress.
4. Choose a Location That Feels Like Magic
There are few places on Earth as breathtaking as Geiranger and Loen. These villages are tucked into deep fjords surrounded by snow-capped peaks, cascading waterfalls, and winding trails.
Geiranger: A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic cliffs and sparkling fjord views. It’s ideal for couples who want a cinematic, awe-inspiring backdrop for their vows.
Loen: Peaceful, lush, and intimate — Loen is perfect for couples who love mountains, turquoise lakes, and a sense of quiet magic. It's home to one of the most stunning gondola rides in Europe (which takes you up to your mountaintop ceremony location), offering the most breathtaking ceremony spots with panoramic views.
Whether you're after a fjords wedding adventure or a cozy, low-key mountain elopement in Norway, these two locations have everything you need — and nothing you don’t.

6. Stay True to Your Story
This is your beginning. Let it be bold. Let it be quiet. Let it be yours.
Don’t let expectations pull you away from your truth. Whether you elope in Norway alone or invite a few loved ones, this is about the connection between you two — and nothing else matters more than that.
