Elopements

Elopement ceremonies are held at your location of choice, and these intimate ceremonies are the most cost-friendly option, starting at only $200.

The charming towns of Eureka Springs, AR and Hollister, MO will have you feeling like you walked into a Hallmark movie.

Weddings

Whether you dream of a simple or truly unique wedding ceremony, Alena is eager to craft a script that invites your guests into your love story. Her officiant service, priced at $400, includes your free initial consultation and planning meetings, service planning, event order, a custom-written ceremony, guidance on ceremony etiquette, and coordination of the wedding rehearsal.

About

Alena is available for celebrations throughout the Ozarks, the United States, and beyond. Operating as a Christian minister, she offers weddings, funerals, vow renewals and provides spiritual direction/mentorships.

Alena has been planning weddings since 2009 and has been an ordained minister since 2016. She is also an author, spiritual director, and concierge pastor. Her specialty is working with nondenominational Christian couples or those who lean more towards spirituality than strict religious legalism.

Through spiritual mentoring, Alena provides a supportive environment for personal growth, guiding you through the challenging questions we often face about faith, love, and relationships. Often, weddings can bring out the worst in people, and sometimes it’s nice to know you have a professional, wise, unbiased, and experienced opinion on navigating family drama. She has a soft spot for couples with a history of divorce and Christians who desire to incorporate their spirituality into every part of their lives.
