Why a Punk Rock Museum Elopement Was a Perfect Fit

We like celebrating each other and our relationship as a regular part of our lives. We share a lot in common, and it only felt right to combine our interests into the wedding to celebrate us and our interests. Fashion-wise and style-wise, the Punk Rock Museum’s murals and art fit us. They had just opened the museum recently, and we decided it was a good omen. It felt historic. Like, here’s a place that tells the history of rebels and tells a story of finding your mates, whether they turn out to be a life mate or a bandmate, and it all just felt like it was meant to be. From day one, we’ve thought the universe was telling us to be together, so when the rock and roll gods gave Vegas the Punk Rock Museum, we just had to. The venue chose us. We saw it pop up on Instagram, and as soon as we saw it, we knew we had to do it.

Prioritizing Stress-Free Planning and Embracing Spontaneity

When you get caught up in making big plans and planning things down to the last detail, they can turn out just fine, but getting everything right is stressful. And when something doesn’t happen or go perfectly, you get upset or frustrated. If you just go for it, have a basic idea of what you’re looking for, and then let things happen more spontaneously, then you’ll realize it all works out in the end, and the most important part was making sure it was fun. Stress isn’t fun, so try to avoid stress. That’s the two most important things. Make it as stress-free as possible, and try to be more spontaneous. The way we did it might not work for everyone, but if you can incorporate some of those attitudes into the whole planning process, you’ll be in good shape.

Appreciating the Value of Professional Photography

We knew it was important to have a good photographer, but it was when we saw ourselves in the pictures later that we appreciated it. We knew we wanted to have fun, be ourselves, and let loose, and in doing so, the excitement and thrill of the day showed in the photos. We’re glad we chose Cactus Collective Weddings to do our photos. They really crushed it, and the images were better than we imagined.

Making the Most of Their Punk Rock Museum Elopement Budget by Prioritizing What Truly Matters to Them

We’re both in the service industry and are relatively young, and we’re still trying to position ourselves for the future, so the pandemic made things interesting. We knew our budget would only allow for a few guests. Once we decided to go small on the guest count, we were able to do it our way and have more fun for ourselves and our close family and friends. Overall, we kept things to less than $5,000. The most significant expense was the photographer, followed by the officiant, the flowers, the permit, and the venue. We got a lot for what we spent.
