AshevillE elopement Packages & Info
First things first:
What really is an “elopement”?
For my couples, eloping is an outdoor wedding experience that is small, personalized, and stress free. From a truly “just us” experience or alongside your closest loved ones, together we create a unique day full of fun adventures and relaxing moments to make sure we soak in all the good stuff life has to offer. My Asheville elopement packages range from 4 hours to 2 days, so you can keep it sweet & simple or embrace a fuller experience.
So where do you begin to elope outdoors?
GREAT NEWS!
You don’t need to have everything planned or figured out yet!
I help with that - and I have a very specific process that walks you through each step. I make it a priority that your experience working with me and creating your dream elopement is sure to feel very intentional, authentic, and calming. You deserve nothing less!
Life is already rushed enough...
Your wedding experience shouldn't have to be.
That's why I create experiences that encourage presence and relaxation just as much as adventure.
You will hug old growth trees, run your hands through your partners hair, listen to the morning birdsong, slow dance to your favorite music as the sun sets, and so much more.
That's me and my Mom at Max Patch!
