Elopement FAQ

Send us an email at [email protected] and we'll start getting to know you and your vision. We believe a wedding doesn't need to be in a ballroom with hundreds of people to be sacred and elegant. We want to know your story and reflect that during your time with us.

We'll collaborate with you as much or as little as feels right.

This is entirely up to you! There are two beautiful nights to play with. We can have the ceremony the moment you arrive or wait for moonlight, sunrise, or anything in between.

If you'd rather have us take the reins and guide you through it, that is also our absolute pleasure.

Please note that the camps are battery powered and cannot support garment steamers or hot hair tools. Check-in is at 4pm and check-out is at 11am.

Email us with your preferred dates and we will do everything we can to make it work. A 50% deposit will secure your dates with a simple contract, and the remaining balance is due 30 days before your arrival.

Yes, of course! They will not be included in your guest count and are more than welcome. We'll share a list of talented area photographers who we know and love.

Absolutely, yes. For overnight guests we charge our regular pet fee of $60 per dog, with a maximum of two dogs per camp.
