Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to take our guests on the adventure portion? Or how does that work?
Absolutely not! You can enjoy intimate vows and photos as a couple and host a separate celebration for your guests. Many couples choose a scenic, easily accessible location for the ceremony, then embark on their off-road or hiking adventure while guests head back to their accommodations or a pre-arranged cocktail hour. It’s the best of both worlds!
Are there payment plans? How much is the deposit?
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans to make your elopement dreams a reality. Deposits range between $1,500 – $2,000 and secure your dream vendor team. Payments can be tailored to your needs; simply have your balance paid 30 days before the wedding. And the best part? No extra fees for paying in installments!
How do we get our marriage license? Will you help us with that?
For Arizona weddings, you’ll need to obtain your marriage license within the state (often in Phoenix). Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through the process step by step! This typically involves scheduling an appointment, which we can help you arrange. While you’ll apply for the license together, your officiant will file it after the ceremony – saving you a post-wedding courthouse trip.
Is video included?
While video isn’t included in our packages, we understand that some couples desire this special keepsake. Let us know, and we’ll happily recommend some of our favorite videographers to fit both your style and your budget. Most of our videographer partners start at $3,500.
Can we use our own photographer or officiant?
Yes! You can use your own photographer or officiant. If bringing your own photographer, we will create a custom planning package for you. Those still start at $7777. If bringing your own officiant, we don’t take anything off the price as we will spend time coaching them, meeting with them, and making sure your ceremony is flawless. We do things differently, and we want to make sure the people you’re bringing are on the same page!
We only work with vendors that we know and trust. This ensures that YOUR wedding day will be full of good vibes from the moment you wake up to get your hair + makeup done to the moment you’re sharing your first dance among the views of your choice. We believe in creating a sacred and beautiful experience, and part of that is being very selective with who we allow into the ceremony space.
Can we add to our package?
Absolutely! We’ve been very intentional about creating packages that include everything you need for your day; however, some couples choose to add additional photography, additional floral, hair and makeup for additional people, limos, party busses, luxury picnics, champagne toasts, etc. Everything we do is completely customizable, so we can truly make anything happen for you!
What is the extra cost per person for?
We charge $200 per guest (up to 25 total) for several reasons. First, it allows us to hire a coordinator, ensuring everyone enjoys the day without needing to handle logistics. Second, we want your intimate elopement to feel truly intentional – every guest should be someone you genuinely want to share this special experience with.
What do couples do after they are done with photos? How do they celebrate?
The beauty of an elopement is the freedom to celebrate exactly how you envision it! We’ll send you a curated guide filled with our favorite restaurants and ideas to suit every style. From pizza and board games back at the Airbnb to a private chef-prepared dinner, couples tailor the post-ceremony experience to their hearts’ desires. There’s something for everyone – taco trucks, caterers, and plenty of options in between.
Will you help us with finding lodging for our guests?
Absolutely! Upon booking, we’ll provide you with a lodging guide packed with our favorite places to stay in Arizona. And we even have exclusive Airbnb partner discounts!
What happens if it rains or snows?
It’s all about attitude! If a few raindrops or snowflakes won’t ruin your day, you’re guaranteed a truly unique and breathtaking elopement in Arizona. Rainy and snowy photos make for incredible, atmospheric shots. For those extra cautious or weather-sensitive couples, we do have backup plans – it all depends on what you’re comfortable with! Let’s embrace the elements and have an amazing time no matter what.
Can we get a list of locations?
Some couples who come to us already have an ideal location. If that’s not you, don’t worry! Picking the right location is part of what you hire us to do. During the “Discovery Phase” we go over all the locations and get an idea of what you really want your scenic backdrop to look like. We recommend checking out our IG for some location inspiration!
