An authentic, dream elopement experience with Samantha.

The decision to elope & make your wedding day specific to you and your partner can be intimidating. Planning, choosing a location, time of year & how to structure your day – it’s a lot!

I’m here to walk you two through everything from the day you inquire, leading up to your elopement day & after. So you can take in the views, appreciate the little moments & have the best, stress-free day.

You’re not going to be alone in planning a celebration that focuses on you and the love of your life. 

Ready to go anywhere.

“Sam made us feel so comfortable, she had a wealth of knowledge about our elopement planning & got us thinking about things we hadn't even thought of! Throughout the year leading up to our engagement, [she] made frequent check-ins with us to ensure we all were on the same page throughout the planning process, which was BEYOND helpful. [She] truly cares about her work & values giving her clients the best experience possible.”

–Megan A.

How it Works

Step 1: You Inquire

Tell me about your story! What are you looking for out of your day or where you’re at in the planning process. You can ask me questions here & I typically reply back within 48 hours.

Step 2: We setup a call/video chat

We find a time that works for you both to chat so I can get to know you two a little bit more & hear about what you’re dreaming up for your elopement day. If you have any questions for me, we can talk about those, as well as going over my elopement packages, what’s all included & what it’s like to work with me.

Step 3: You book & we start the planning process

This is where the fun stuff begins. We’ve set a date & you two have picked a package & now comes all the details! I’ll guide you two along the way from sharing my Elopement Planning Guide, creating customized location guides, giving vendor recommendations, helping you with permits & all the nitty-gritty parts.
