Enhancements to Your Elopement
Wedding Consulting: Do you need a little more assistance? You can add our Comprehensive Planners Package to any of your elopement packages. If you feel that you need a full-time wedding planner or a day of coordinator, please contact us for a list of great planners that we recommend.
Flowers: We work with one of the top 10 florist in the United States (locally based) and they have been great - even with last minute additions. If you need a bouquet or boutonniere or any floral decor, we can assist. See our photo gallery of recent florals from our florist. You can also view our Elopement Pinterest board for more inspiration.
Wedding Arches & Decor: With our smaller packages and our micro permit, arches, chairs and decor are not allowed. However, there are larger permits that would allow for these items. https://www.weddingsinmonterey.com/wedding-arches.html
Hotel Accommodations: Staying in the right hotel can make all the difference in the world for your overall wedding elopement experience. Our owners have stayed / visited over 140 hotels and inns on the Monterey Peninsula. We can provide some free, friendly advice based on your preferences. Since we know a lot of the managers in local hotels, we can do our best to get you an upgrade as well (see our Romantic Room Decorations idea below -- with one of these decorations, getting an upgrade is a lot more likely).
Photography: All but one of our elopement packages include at least one hour of professional photography (but you can add more time!). Would you like us to capture all of the moments from getting ready through driving off to dinner? Our award winning photographer(s) can set up a timeline to ensure you have all of your memories. You receive all of the edited images by digital download to share and print (on average, 80-120 image per hour! Sample Couples Portraits
Ceremony Music: If you would like to include music for your processional (walking down the aisle), recessional (after the kiss) and during your photo shoot, just let us know. We have music packages starting at just $50 and a sound package with professional microphone and stand for $75.
Videography: We work with several fantastic videographers that specialize in elopements and do fantastic work! Their fees vary but a one hour rate starts at about $750. Another option is our photography slide show -- your best images from your special day put in chronological order, set to music, to tell your story ($395).
Romantic Hotel Room Decorations: Through our sister company, Romantic Celebrations, we will transform your hotel room with rose petals, candles to set the mood. An array of other items can be added including a bath tub design, "Just Married" balloons and more.
Fantastic Decor Options: See our gallery of options. Note: Vintage Decor Items have a minimum rental fee (total) of $500 (including the delivery fee).
Wedding Designer: Do you have a vision for your elopement but need some extra assistance in coming up with a plan? Our wedding designer is available to consult with you to make your dreams a reality ($250 - not including decor items or on-site time decorating). She is awesome at her job and aside from weddings, has assisted in dozens of wedding proposals.
Wedding Day of Coordinator: If you would like to have someone that will be there for you as an extra set of hands on your wedding day, we work with several wonderful wedding planners that offer this service starting at $1500.
Wedding Cakes: We have partnered with a wonderful, local bakery located in Carmel. One of their specialties are delicious, smaller cakes -- great for a small elopement ceremony (starting at $25 and up - depends on the size and added decorations). See a photo gallery of some of their creations.
