Introduction

I specialize in outdoor weddings and elopements because they combine my favorite things - love, nature, and creating space for deep connection with a side of humor. Weddings don't have to be a big deal, especially if you all you really want is to disappear on an adventure or into the woods with the one you love. Let me make it easy for you! I'll work with you to create the ceremony that reflects your relationship and am happy to help with other logistics like writing vows or suggesting a location.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Custom ceremonies scripts are a flat $100 fee; coaching services are billed at $50 per 30 minute session. Onsite ceremonies and elopements start at $250 and are priced based on a variety of factors including travel distance from Seattle. For wilderness elopements, additional permit and travel fees may be added. Here are a few examples: -Seattle city core: $250 -Olympic National Park (Lake Crescent, Mt Storm King, Hurricane Hill) starting at $450 -North Cascades: starting at $375 -Mt Rainer area: starting at $350 -Steven’s Pass / Highway 2: starting at $350 -Snoqualmie Pass (Snoqualmie Falls, Twin Falls, Mt. Si area): starting at $300 -Whidbey Island: starting at $350 -Overnights: starting at $500

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

While I'm happy to hop on a call for customers who have lots of questions, I tend to correspond via email, text, or the Thumbtack app to settle logistics. I'll have a few questions to get to know you better and help customize your ceremony. I'm also happy to advise on venues, questions about how to obtain a wedding license in WA state, or any other ceremony questions you have. Once we've settled on a date, time, and ceremony type, I'll send you a draft of the full ceremony and give you time to make changes. Multiple edit rounds are possible if time allows, though most couples only need one. Day of, I'll be there bright and early and ready to handle the final paperwork after the ceremony.
