WEEKDAY WEEKDAY WEEKDAY. If you can, definitely elope during the week. This will avoid the crowds and offer you the most private experience.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO ELOPE IN THE PNW?

Elopements in the Pacific Northwest typically cost anywhere from $7,000-$20,000+ including the photography and videography.

This is considerably less than the average wedding.

The average wedding in the United States costs approximately $34,000.

The main difference is that you’re investing in an experience for fewer people, which in turn leads to a much higher quality experience for each person.

A major factor of this higher quality experience is enjoying a multi-day adventure elopement + honeymoon. Imagine a week long adventure as newlyweds in an absolutely magical location. EPIC.

We highly recommend investing 3-7 days to fully explore and appreciate your epic destination.

You can even hire a photographer (🤠🏴‍☠️) for multiple days, to document even more of your amazing story.
