Make the day about your marriage…not the production.
Morning devotional together? Singing worship around the campfire with friends? It’s about actually soaking in the fact that you two are becoming one (Genesis 2:24).
So there’s no checklist of what your elopement should look like. You get to decide what matters. But maybe you’re thinking, “Okay great, but where do I start?”
And that's where I come in.
Here’s how I help you plan a peaceful, intentional elopement…without the overwhelm!

Let’s answer these big questions about Eloping in California…
“I’D RATHER BE SOMEWHERE IN NATURE GETTING MARRIED.”
FAQ
-
I suggest booking about six months ahead of your elopement date! Many couples reserve their spot with me nearly a year out, while others plan just a few months in advance. A six-to-twelve-month window is the sweet spot to lock in your ideal date, location, vendors, and lodging.
-
That is totally okay! It is your day and depending on what you want to do and your skill level I research hikes and options for locations that fit your needs. Whether it’s a drive up lookout point, 1-mile loop or multi-mile scale up some mountains, I am along with you for the ride.
-
Yes! It is absolutely possible. I love it when family and friends are present! I'm happy to accommodate up to 50 guests and find ways to include them! The more guests, the more logistics, which is why we just need to know a number to make sure we can collaborate on location.
-
Pretty much the whole process. I am that helpful kickstart to your google research. I’ll provide a guide with narrowed down research so you don’t feel stressed starting from scratch. I’ll help you find your dream spot, sort out permits, create a timeline, brainstorm activities, recommend vendors. My goal? Keep things easy, fun, and calm for you two.
-
Yes I do! 20% is your non-refundable retainer payment to book with me. The remainder of your package can be split into 3 or 4 payments, with the final payment due 30 days before your elopement date.
