Platinum Elopement Package

Everything included in the above package (Diamond) plus a design package to truly make it everything for which you have dreamed. The pricing is fluid as it will depend on what decorative items you choose. We have worked with a variety of floral designer and vintage furniture rental companies to create a look that is all your own. For most areas, the addition of having furniture / arch / decor will make getting a permit necessary. Note: If you have a wedding with more than 20 people, please check out our sister site at Weddings in Monterey.
