Why Elope?

How You Get Married Matters

When a couple chooses to elope, they are deciding that the most important aspect of their day is the experience they share together.

Imagine a wedding day that is:

Connection Driven

Experience-Oriented

Inspired by Your Story Together

Stepping away from tradition opens up so many amazing options that many couples never knew existed and creates the opportunity for couples to celebrate their day in a way that suites them best–minus all the stress, obligation, and potential drama of a more traditional setting.

What is an elopement?


An elopement is an intentionally small and immersive wedding experience

Modern elopements typically stray away from aspects included in traditional weddings and instead incorporate more authentic and candid experiences for themselves and their intentionally invited guests. Think hiking a favorite trail together, enjoying a private winery experience, or taking the views in on a hot air balloon ride. Encouraging couples to have the freedom to plan a wedding in a way that feels most true to who they are is something I am truly passionate about.

When You Chose to Elope

 you’re choosing to put

your story,

your connection,

& your experience

above everything else


And that’s what makes planning an experience-oriented wedding day so liberating

And now you’re wondering,

how can we make this a reality?

Being able to co-create with each of my couples as they walk through their own planning process is always an inspiring journey for me. It helps us to not only get to know each other really well before the wedding day, but also helps me better understand your vision, your unique relationship together, and how I can best capture your story together.

Some of the goodness we will talk about:

finding your perfect location

permitting logistics when necessary

marriage licensing and the legality of getting married on your actual elopement day
