Affordable elopement packages?

My husband and I are considering starting a small business in the Syracuse area focused on affordable, intimate elopements. He’s an ordained to do weddings and I’m both a photographer. Our idea is to create simple, stress-free packages for couples who want something personal without the huge wedding price tag.

We’d handle everything needed for a legal and memorable ceremony — officiating, professional photos, location guidance, permit help, and even a witness if needed. We’re envisioning options for places like parks, gardens, small venues, or even couples’ own backyards.

I’m curious:

• Do you think this is something couples around Syracuse/Central NY would be interested in?
• Are there local spots you think would be perfect for this?
• Any must-knows about regulations or permits in the area?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts! We want to make sure we’re creating something people here would genuinely find useful.
