We eloped to Vanuatu in 2003. Some friends knew but none of our family knew until we got back. We organised it all through the travel agent. There are so many wedding packages available that it's easy to do. Our planning of the actual ceremony involved a half hour meeting with a co-ordinator when we arrived in Vanuatu and then we turned up on the day. Easy and stress free. The whole lot cost us $6000 for 10 days over there and the wedding (which was $1000) Would do it again in a second.
