what all do you need to elope?

All you need? Bride, groom, officiant . . . and the paperwork and witnesses required by the state (and yes, that's the state in which the ceremony will take place).

What you may want? Google "elopement packages city state" to search for the extras that can make the day special. Those extras may include flowers, wedding cake, photos, etc.

This is one example of an elopement package:
