fREQUENTLY aSKED qUESTIONS
Can we bring guests?
How do we choose a location?
What if the weather is bad?
how many hours do we need?
Do you have payment plans?
How much of the planning will you do?
Absolutely! I recommend keeping it under 10-15 people. Once you start inviting more people, it will not have as much of an intimate feel, and logistics will be more difficult to navigate with parking, your ceremony location, etc...
My clients typically book 8 hours to capture their full day of adventure, 12+ to capture their multi day experience. I offer packages starting at 4 hours, but I recommend at least 8 hours to have a full elopement experience.
Yes I do! $1,500 is your retainer payment to book with me. The remainder of your package can be split into 3 or 4 payments, with the final payment due 30 days before your elopement date.
So long as the weather isn't dangerous, I encourage you to embrace your day as it is. Rainy elopement days are such a vibe, just go with it! If we absolutely need to reschedule your day due to dangerous weather, we can. I always keep the days around your elopement open just in case.
With my expertise in Minnesota's most beautiful locations, I'll help you find the perfect spot. You don't need to have a location picked out to book with me! I recommend looking at locations that have meaning to your relationship, or a bucket list place you've always wanted to explore.
I help with finding locations, getting permits, making the timeline, offer suggestions for activities, vendor recommendations, and logistical details. So quite a bit! I'm here to make your elopement planning as easy breezy as possible.
