It’s important to note that couples choosing Promise Mountain will likely need to factor in limited customization options and additional costs for services like hair and makeup, personalized itinerary planning, personal assistance, boutonniere for the groom and any customizations beyond their standardized options.
3. Arizona Elopement Collective VS. Simply Eloped
Choosing the right elopement provider means finding the perfect balance between personalization, value, and the overall experience you desire. Arizona Elopement Collective and Simply Eloped offer distinctly different approaches to elopements in Arizona.
While Simply Eloped focuses on out-of-the-box, streamlined and budget-friendly packages with a fixed structure, Arizona Elopement Collective emphasizes personalization, comprehensive services, and creating a fully customized experience tailored to each couple’s unique vision.
Let’s explore these differences to help you determine which approach best aligns with your priorities:
| Features | Simply Eloped 'Oasis Package' | AEC 'Adventure Elopement Package Level 1' |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Price | Starting at $4,855 excl. cost for venue | Starting at $7,777 |
| 2. Location | Unclear | Ceremony & couples photos at an accessible yet scenic location with gorgeous views less than 15 minutes from the trail by foot. |
| 3. Photography | ✔ Included (2 hours included / 150 photos / Coverage unclear) | ✔ Included (2 hours / 250 photos / Covering ceremony, group photos & couples photos) |

| 8. Concierge & Customizability | ✔ Included (limited options) | ✔ Included (unlimited options) |
| 10. Guest Count | Up 20 guests / included in price | Up to 10 guests / included in price |
Simply Elopeds services are ideal for couples who want a beautiful elopement without the need for extensive customization.
Simply Eloped’s Oasis Package starts at a lower price point than both Promise Mountains and Arizona Elopement Collectives packages. However, their packages offer less flexibility in terms of location choice, less pictures being taken, fewer included features and benefits and extremely limited customization. And with the packages being less personal by itself, meaning the photographers do not build a connection with you, the quality of the pictures you get are subject to quality-loss. Simple Eloped’s package ‘shortcomings’ are leading to more of an ‘assembly line’ type of feeling, hence offering a more competitive price.
Simply Eloped is a fantastic choice for couples looking to save on their elopement with a predetermined elopement experience that does not necessarily focus too much on being an expression of the couple. Though, due to no pre-booking consultations, Simple Eloped’s online booking process can be difficult to navigate and lacks to establish clarity of what you truly need and want.
Arizona Elopement Collective offers a higher level of personalization, more photos, more extensive vendor coordination, and greater flexibility for couples who want to infuse their elopement with unique touches that reflect their love story.
While our level 1 package price is higher, the value lies in the comprehensive services, personalized planning, and ability to tailor the experience to each couple’s individual vision. Starting with an in-depth pre-booking consultation and ending with us taking care of everything so you don’t have to.
4. Arizona Elopement Collective VS. WedyApp
When planning your dream elopement, deciding between a full-service provider and a DIY approach is a crucial first step. Arizona Elopement Collective offers a comprehensive, personalized experience with a dedicated team handling every detail.
In contrast, Wedyapp operates as a digital platform, allowing you to directly book individual vendors. Understanding these fundamental differences will help you determine which approach best suits your vision, planning style, and desired level of support for your elopement journey
| Features | WedyApp 'The Whole Shabang' Package | AEC 'Adventure Elopement Package Level 1' |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Price | Starting at $4,810, excl. cost per guest, travel fees & delivery fees | Starting at $7,777 |
| 2. Location | Unclear | Ceremony & couples photos at an accessible yet scenic location with gorgeous views less than 15 minutes from the trail by foot. |
| 3. Photography | ✔ Included (4 hours / 200 photos / Coverage unclear) | ✔ Included (2 hours / 250 photos / Covering ceremony, group photos & couples photos) |
| 4. Officiant & Ceremony | ✔ Included (excl. officiant travel fees) | ✔ Included |
| 5. Hair & Make-Up | ✔ Included (excl. artist travel fees) | ✔ Included |
| 6. Florals | ✔ Included (excl. delivery fees) | ✔ Included |
| 7. Coordination & Planning | ✘ Not Included | ✔ Included |
| 8. Day of Coordinator | ✘ Not Included | ✘ Not Included |
| 9. Concierge & Customizability | ✔ Included (limited options) | ✔ Included (unlimited options) |
| 10. Guest Count | Up 20 guests / unclear if included in price / excluding cost for venue | Up to 10 guests / included in price |
Wedyapp is a fantastic option for highly independent couples who enjoy the challenge of planning their own elopement. This platform is ideal for those seeking a budget-conscious approach where they take full control over finding and managing vendors. If you’re a couple with a clear vision and have the time for handling all the logistics and communication with vendors directly, Wedyapp empowers you to create your dream elopement on your own terms.
On the other hand, Arizona Elopement Collective (AEC) is designed for couples who crave a stress-free, personalized elopement experience. With a dedicated planner guiding you through every step and handling the logistics, you can relax and focus on the joy of your celebration.
AEC’s focus on customization ensures your elopement reflects your unique love story, incorporating those special touches that make it undeniably yours.

The Nitty-Gritty Details
At Arizona Elopement Collective, we know your elopement is an intimate celebration of your unique love. That’s why each of our three different packages is designed to deliver an unforgettable experience while giving you the flexibility to personalize every detail.
Let’s go into some more detail about what our packages have to offer:
1. Guests - We Value Intimate Celebrations
We believe your elopement should be the perfect balance of intimacy and celebration.
All of our packages offer a guest count of up to 10 included in the price, creating a focused environment where your love story takes center stage. This allows for personalized attention for each guest, making everyone feel truly valued and part of your special experience.
Of course, if you envision a larger celebration, we’re happy to accommodate additional loved ones for a simple fee per guest ($200 per guest, up to 25 guests). We’ll work closely with you to ensure your chosen location and itinerary comfortably suit your group size.
Ultimately, the right guest count is as unique as your love story. This focus on personalized choices is what sets Arizona Elopement Collective apart. Let’s dive into how our in-depth planning process ensures your elopement day reflects your individual preferences and priorities.
2. Personalized Planning - Your Vision, Our Expertise
We know cookie-cutter elopements simply won’t cut it if you are looking for an experience that reflects who YOU as a couple are. That’s why our personalized planning approach is woven into each of our packages. We are having at least 3 planning sessions online to plan your magic day the way you want it:
- Deep-dive planning: Forget generic planning forms. We start with a deep-dive questionnaire and kick-ass planning sessions to truly understand your love story, priorities, and the vibe you envision for your day.
- Couples Connection: In this meeting, we take time to understand your chemistry as a couple to organize and coordinate the right vendors that match your vibe. This will ensure that you have the right people to capture, support and celebrate the essence of your love on your special day.
- Tailored Itinerary: We craft a detailed schedule ensuring a stress-free flow for getting ready, hair & makeup, transportation, the adventure, the ceremony and the couples photos sessions and any special surprises. Our itineraries create spaciousness to allow you to truly savor each moment, without worrying about what happens next.
In our experience, after creating more than 300 unforgettable adventure elopement experiences for couples in Arizona, we have found that these 3 planning sessions are the foundation for creating magic on your special day.
Now that you know how we plan your perfect elopement, let’s talk about the behind-the-scenes work that makes it a seamless experience.
3. Coordination - Effortless Execution
Your elopement day should be filled with anticipation and joy, not worries about logistics. That’s why we coordinate, organize and communicate with all vendors to take that stress off your shoulders.
We’ve cultivated a network of talented vendors who understand the unique magic of elopements, and we’ll carefully match you with those who align perfectly with your energy, vibe, and vision.
Forget about endless online searches and confusing contracts – we handle all vendor communication, ensuring a streamlined experience. And on your elopement day itself, our team orchestrates every detail behind the scenes. This allows you to fully relax and be present in every joyful moment, knowing that vendors will arrive on time, logistics will flow smoothly, and any unexpected hiccups will be seamlessly handled.
Choosing the right vendors isn’t just about finding skilled professionals – it’s about finding those who understand the intimate nature of elopements and whose work resonates with your personal style. Our expertise makes this process effortless, ensuring a stress-free experience. Ultimately, this allows you to focus on what truly matters: celebrating your love story!
For some couples, the desire for an absolutely stress-free elopement extends even further than vendor coordination. That’s where our higher-tier packages come in, offering a dedicated personal assistant and coordinator on wedding day.
4. Personal Assistant - Next-Level Stress-Free
Imagine having a trusted individual by your side on your elopement day, ready to handle every logistical detail. From organizing transportation and assisting with setup to holding items and troubleshooting any unexpected hiccups, your personal assistant is your behind-the-scenes superhero.
This level of support translates into unparalleled peace of mind. You can fully immerse yourself in the joy of the moment, knowing that your assistant is discreetly ensuring a seamless experience for you and your guests. Think of it as the ultimate luxury – the gift of being completely present in every precious moment of your elopement.
Of course, feeling fully confident in your elopement journey extends beyond logistics. That’s why our packages include professional hair and makeup artistry as well. Let’s talk about how this ensures you look and feel your absolute best on your special day!
5. Hair & Makeup - Radiate Your Natural Beauty
Your elopement is all about celebrating your love story, and a key part of that is feeling radiant and confident. We collaborate with skilled artists specializing in natural, romantic styles that enhance your features and ensure you feel radiant.
A pre-wedding consultation with your artist allows you to discuss your vision, try out different looks, and ensure complete satisfaction with your chosen style. And on your elopement day, simply relax and let your artist create a look that seamlessly complements your setting and overall vibe.
And remember, these pampering services aren’t just for the bride! Grooms can also enjoy tailored grooming services to ensure they look and feel their best. Whether it’s simple hair styling or beard grooming, we can arrange those additional touches that elevate the experience for everyone involved. Ultimately, it’s about both of you feeling confident and camera-ready as you celebrate this milestone together.
But your personal style extends beyond your attire. Beautiful florals can add a touch of magic to your elopement, elevating both the visual aesthetic and the romantic atmosphere of your day.
6. Florals - An Expression of You
Your elopement is a celebration of your unique love story, and beautiful floral touches can elevate the experience even further.
We understand this, which is why we include a stunning personalized bouquet and boutonniere, expertly crafted to reflect your style and color preferences. To ensure complete ease, we even take care of transporting these arrangements directly to your elopement location.
And for couples who envision a floral scheme extending beyond the bouquet and boutonniere, we offer customized upgrades. Imagine a breathtaking ground floral for your ceremony, centerpieces for a celebratory meal, or any other floral touch your heart desires!
From the vibrant colors to the delicate textures, florals add an undeniable touch of beauty and romance to your elopement photos and the overall atmosphere of your day. With our expertise and attention to detail, you’ll enjoy effortless elegance without needing to worry about sourcing or arranging flowers yourself.
Now, let’s talk about the heart of your elopement experience – the adventure! Arizona boasts awe-inspiring landscapes, from dramatic canyons to lush pine forests. We understand that every couple desires a unique elopement experience, and that’s why our packages focus on personalized adventure planning…
7. The Adventure - Tailored Exploration Awaits
Arizona’s landscapes are as diverse as they are breathtaking, offering the perfect backdrop for your elopement adventure. We offer multiple adventure levels to cater to your desired experience. Level 1 and 2 focus on easily accessible trails and serene, secluded locations, allowing you to explore stunning scenery without strenuous hikes. For those seeking a wilder experience, our Level 3 package includes off-road adventures accessible by 4×4 vehicles or more challenging hikes. This gives you the option of incorporating a thrilling post-ceremony adventure just for the two of you, capturing those intimate newlywed moments against epic backdrops.
No matter your chosen adventure level, our experienced guides handle all the logistics, including permits and transportation, so you can fully immerse yourselves in the natural beauty that surrounds you. And we always take your physical fitness and guest preferences into account, ensuring a comfortable and unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
These shared adventures create lasting memories, setting the stage for the most intimate element of your elopement – your ceremony. This is where your hearts intertwine with the beauty of your chosen location. Our packages ensure your ceremony is just as unique and personalized as your adventure…
8. Personalized Ceremony - A Celebration of Your Love
The ceremony is the heart of your elopement, a sacred space where your love story takes center stage. We understand how important it is for this moment to feel authentically yours. That’s why we focus on creating a personalized ceremony that reflects the unique essence of your relationship. We’ll weave your stories, inside jokes, and the shared values that bind you together into a heartfelt script that celebrates your journey.
For couples who choose to write their own vows, we go the extra mile! You’ll receive a comprehensive guide and dedicated support to help you express your love with your own words. Our officiants will even jump on calls to offer guidance, ensuring your vows feel personal and set the tone for a deep and meaningful start to your marriage. And to ensure the ceremony feels truly special, you’ll have a pre-elopement meeting with your officiant. This fosters a connection and allows them to radiate warmth and authenticity as they lead your ceremony, making it feel like a trusted friend is celebrating your love.
Ultimately, a personalized ceremony isn’t just about the words spoken. It’s about creating an atmosphere that resonates with your personality. Our carefully selected officiants are not only skilled in their craft but also exude kindness and genuine joy. This translates into a ceremony that feels like a true reflection of your love, a celebration of your marriage and a moment you’ll cherish forever.
The emotions, the joy, the breathtaking backdrop – your elopement is a beautiful story waiting to be captured. And our photography ensures these precious moments become cherished memories you can relive for years to come.
9. Marriage License - We Handle the Paperwork
Making it official is just as important as the celebration itself! That’s why our packages simplify the marriage license process. We’ll guide you through the application, ensuring every detail is correct, and then handle the filing with the appropriate authorities. This takes the stress out of navigating paperwork and guarantees your marriage is officially recognized.
With this essential detail handled, you can relax knowing your union is both legal and joyful. Your focus can remain where it should be – on celebrating your love!
And if you’re dreaming of adding a unique touch to your elopement, something that reflects your personalities or passions, that’s where our personalized concierge services and unlimited customization options come into play!
10. Photography - A Visual Narrative of Your Love
Your elopement is a whirlwind of emotions, a beautiful tapestry of intimate moments and breathtaking scenery. Our photography approach is designed to capture the authentic essence of your day without disrupting the flow.
Think of our photographers as behind-the-scenes ninjas – you’ll barely notice them, yet when you receive your photos, you’ll think, “Holy shit, when did they capture that?!” Their expertise lies in blending candid, genuine moments with a touch of artistry, creating images that are truly, undeniably YOU.
Our level 1 package includes two hours of photography to document the highlights – the ceremony, group shots, and those intimate newlywed portraits against the stunning backdrop you’ve chosen. Of course, if you want to capture every step of your elopement journey, from getting ready to all of the beautiful little details, we offer extended coverage options in our level 2 and level 3 packages. Ultimately, it’s about creating a visual narrative that allows you to relive the joy and magic of your day for years to come.
The benefit of professional photography goes beyond just having pretty pictures. It’s about the peace of mind that comes from knowing every precious moment is preserved. It’s the investment you make in creating an enduring testament to your love story.
And speaking of important details, while you’re focused on the joy of your day, we’ve got your back on the legal stuff! Our packages take care of the marriage license process, ensuring your union is both unforgettable and official.
Your elopement, your vision. Our packages are designed to bring your dream day to life. The pictures above were taken by our team of photographers during our couples photo sessions.

12. Meetings with Team - Building Trust and Connection

Beyond logistics and beautiful photos, it’s the connections with the people involved that make your day truly special. That’s why all our packages include multiple online meetings designed to foster those connections.
