eloping in arkansas means being unapologetically true to you and your story

It's easy to go with the flow when it comes to your wedding day-- doing exactly what others expect you to do. Following tradition, not ruffling any feathers, doing the whole big wedding shebang and reception and spending (SO MUCH!) money in the process. But considering an elopement is a bold step towards being unapologetically authentic about the kind of way you start off your marriage. By asking the question, "Is all this for us, or should we do something different?", you are paving the way for a wedding experience that truly celebrates who you are and your evolving love story. 

For many couples, the journey of starting their marriage should reflect their lives, their values and the way they want to feel when they embark on this journey together. Eloping can be an incredible way to mark the beginning or continuation of your marriage in an authentic, intimate and intentional way while also staying true to your values and being kind to the earth. 

I've helped over 280 couples plan and create the elopement day of their dreams in Arkansas and beyond. I've hiked and watched the sunrises with couples, I've heard incredible vows exchanged, saw families brought together, witnessed beautiful backyard elopements and as an officiant, I've had the privilege of facilitating so many elopements. I believe that elopements are sacred and special for those that are called to them and it's one of my greatest honors in life to help couples create a wedding day that feels authentic and true to who they are. 

are you ready for this once in a lifetime adventure with the love of your life?

Can I say it? I'm super proud of you for being here, for pausing and thinking about what you want your wedding day to look like, and realizing that you want your day to be a big, beautiful adventure that centers you and the love you've found and the life you're building together. You're taking a bold step together by saying that you're ready to shake it up a little, buck tradition and have a wedding celebration that truly celebrates who you are and your values. 

Eloping is such a great way to start your life together. You can include as many or as few guests as you want. You can elope at your Airbnb, on a mountaintop, at a courthouse or at your favorite dive bar downtown. Elopements are beautiful because they reflect your individuality as well as who you are as a couple. While it's scary to turn down the big , traditional wedding for something a little different, you've got this! And I'll be here for you every step of the way as you plan and enjoy your dream elopement in Arkansas. Are you ready?
