If you’re here, you and your partner probably decided to ditch the "big," traditional wedding and plan something that is more aligned with your values. Something that allows you to be creative, break free from traditions, or just focus on what’s most important to you.
Big weddings aren’t for everyone.
Cue the elopement!
Gone are the days when an elopement was just a secretive way for couples to run off and get married, now it’s an intentional, intimate celebration of marriage that more and more couples are choosing. It can be just the two of you in the mountains, or a small gathering of loved ones on the beach. The world is your oyster!
*But* (of course there’s a “but,”) no matter what beautiful shape your elopement is taking, there are inevitably going to be logistics, details, and decisions to consider. It’s almost like you’re planning a wedding. Unfortunately, a lot of the wedding planning resources out there aren’t that helpful for planning an elopement!
That’s why I’ve created three elopement planning services tailored to the unique challenges that eloping couples face.
Let me help with the logistics so you can focus on what your elopement is truly about - celebrating your love story your way!

You’ll get peace of mind from working with a planner with local knowledge. I can help you find the best local vendors, navigate different locations around the state, and even take care of some of your pre-elopement errands.
A local expert
Even with an intimate elopement, there’s lots of logistics to consider! Whether it’s putting together a detailed itinerary for the day or a rental order for ceremony chairs (or both!), I’ll make sure we’ve got the details, big and small, taken care of.
You’ll get support and guidance throughout the entire process with check-in calls, email, and text communication. You’ll never feel like you’re going at this alone!

The Elopement Adventure would be a great fit for you if you need…
For the couple who wants to be free to create and enjoy an unforgettable elopement without being weighed down by all the logistics throughout the planning process and on the big day.
Maybe you’re traveling from out of town and need a local planning partner, or maybe you’re hosting a group of loved ones and realized there’s a lot of moving parts to deal with. Maybe you’re just super busy humans who want a beautiful elopement but need an extra pair of hands to bring your vision together.
With the Elopement Adventure, you’ll get both the behind-the-scenes and onsite support you need to craft a relaxed and meaningful Pacific Northwest elopement.
THE ELOPEMENT ADVENTURE
I’ll be there to coordinate the ceremony, set-up a special celebration meal, and generally make sure things are running smoothly throughout the day. I love being there to support you and your guests so you can spend the day being present and taking in every moment together (not dealing with little tasks all day).

The Elopement Celebration would be a great fit for you if you need…
For the couple who’s got a good handle on their elopement planning but needs help with an intimate meal or picnic on the elopement day.
You’ve probably been working with an elopement photographer on a timeline for the day and have most of the big details taken care of, but you don’t have someone to help with the logistics of a celebration meal. After all, do you really want to be lugging chairs around in your wedding attire or trusting your family to manage all the table settings?
With the Elopement Celebration, I’ll provide the onsite help you need so you and your loved ones can sit-back and enjoy a special meal together - the perfect end (or beginning!) to an elopement day.

03. The Elopement Consultant
For couples who feel lost and unsure of where to get started, we'll begin with a 90-minute strategy session to dive into the biggest questions you have and where you're feeling stuck. Then, you'll receive a short action plan with guidance on next steps you can take to start bringing your vision to life.
There’s plenty of reasons a traditional planning package doesn’t feel right for you. The Virtual Concierge Service is designed for couples who don’t want to commit to a bigger package, but still need some help.
You can pawn off the specific parts of elopement planning that you don’t have time for, you feel overwhelmed by, or you just don’t want to do. You’ll get help with only what you need and nothing more.
The Elopement Consultant would be a great fit for you if you need…
For the couple who’s realized there are a few gaps in their elopement planning that need to be filled (preferably by someone else!)
If you don’t need help on the elopement day itself, but would benefit from an extra pair of (virtual) hands to get started or to take some of planning tasks off your plate, we can help with our virtual consulting services.
