Let's Elope!
Not everyone wants a big traditional wedding, but they may also want something more special than just the paperwork signed (the Courthouse package). Elopement packages are perfect for those couples that are looking for an "in-between" option when it comes to their wedding day.
If you prefer an intimate gathering over a large event or if you want to say your vows overlooking a scenic view rather than at a big venue, an elopement package may be just what you need! These intimate gatherings can be short and sweet or they can include any of the popular services that I perform at larger weddings. Eloping doesn't mean your ceremony can't be powerful and personal. Whether it is casual or semi-formal, local or out of town, let's make it beautiful!
