How it Works
Ceremony Creation
Personal. Professional. Stress free!
Creating a meaningful elopement ceremony doesn’t have to be complicated. I’ll work closely with you to learn your story, understand your values, and craft a ceremony that feels true to who you are.
Step 1: Connect
Start by filling out the contact form. We’ll schedule a relaxed phone or Zoom chat to talk about your vision and see if we’re a good fit.
Step 2: Reserve Your Date: I’ll send a customized proposal to reserve your date and make everything official.
Step 3: Personalize Your Ceremony
You’ll complete a few short questionnaires that help me understand your story, your vision, and what matters most to you. This allows me to create a ceremony that feels intentional, meaningful, and uniquely yours — without adding stress to the planning process.
Step 4: Review & Refine
I’ll create your full ceremony outline with all the elements you've chosen. We’ll review it together, make any adjustments you’d like, and ensure it feels just right.
Step 5: Tie the Knot!
On the day of your elopement, we’ll meet at your chosen spot on the Oregon Coast. I’ll guide you through a warm, grounded, meaningful ceremony you’ll never forget.
Step 6: After the Ceremony
I’ll file your marriage license with the county and send info on ordering certified copies and handling any name changes.
Local Guidance
Advice from a local!
Because I live and work on the North Oregon Coast, I’m happy to share helpful local insights along the way. My services include:

It includes tide-dependent spots (with guidance on ideal ceremony timing), locations with restroom and parking access, cliffside viewpoints, barefoot beach options, and a handful of beautiful lesser-known gems.
• Accessibility Guidance
Support for couples or guests with mobility limitations, my Accessibility Guide includes recommendations for accessible ceremony locations, parking considerations, and where to rent a beach wheelchair.
• Vendor Recommendations Suggestions for trusted photographers, florists, and other local elopement-friendly vendors
• Licensing and Permits
Support with the legal side of your ceremony, including detailed instructions on acquiring an Oregon Marriage License, and whether a special-use permit may be needed.
