Are you thinking about eloping?

There are many reasons why my couples choose to elope, but the end result is the same: a batch of intimate moments that allow the two of you to focus on each other, and on your relationship, instead of on the many other things that often become part of a larger wedding.

The couples who choose me for their elopement in the Chicago area are looking for something personal, and something created specifically for their relationship. Your elopement is still your wedding day, even though the ceremony is only for the two of you or the tiniest handful of people, the words you speak matter! The words you speak are what make your wedding day memorable.

And that is what we do together!

Which is why at forever incredible ceremonies, I absolutely LOVE being a part of elopements!

Make your ceremony stand out.

We go through the same process as my couples with larger weddings, including the "homework" assignment about your relationship. This allows me to get to know you better and therefore to celebrate you in the way you deserve to be celebrated.

I get great joy out of working with my couples to create a customized elopement ceremony that incorporates your priorities and values, celebrates who you are as a couple, and includes components and traditions that represent you best! Even if there is no one there to hear but you two, I want your elopement ceremony to be worthy of those moments, as we kick off your marriage in a special way.
