For the couples that are wild at heart and are looking for a personalized and adventurous wedding experience...

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT...
  • We are looking for a stress-free in the moment wedding experience where we get to focus on each other.

  • We want to plan intentional and meaningful activities and create a day that is totally unique to us and our relationship.

  • We want to get married in a place that feels true to us (AKA nature). No stuffy wedding venues!

What if we told you, you can have all that and so much more!

Why have an adventure elopement or micro wedding?

Over the years we have been told by society what we need to buy or do to have a successful weddingโ€ฆ. Butโ€ฆwhen you take away all the outdated expectations of how a wedding is supposed to be, you get endless possibilities to create something that is unique and meaningful to you. 

Now, picture this: elopements and adventure weddings are your ticket to a day that's all about you and the great outdoors. You call the shots โ€“ from the guest list to the fun activities, it's your show. And yes, you can totally have your cake and devour it too!

Close your eyes and imagine what your adventurous wedding day(s) could look likeโ€ฆ

Plan a multi-day wedding experience where you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Day 1 could focus on hiking, another adventure, or simply spending quality time together, while Day 2 can be dedicated to celebrating with your loved ones. Itโ€™s the perfect option for couples who canโ€™t choose between intimacy and partying with friends and family!

Always loved camping? Letโ€™s set up your tent or park your favorite backcountry ride at a stunning campsite, share a romantic camp-cooked dinner for two, and hike to a mountaintop for your ceremony and watching the sun set.

Make your day as unique as you are by including your favorite hobby! We've seen couples fly fish in crystal-clear streams, go off-roading to jaw-dropping overlooks, paddle away in kayaks, play board games, camp out in style, and so much more. What adventure fits your love story?

Whoa, this sounds amazing, but how do we even begin? Donโ€™t worryโ€”Weโ€™ve got your back!

Dive into these resources to kick off planning your epic elopement adventure.
