Perfect Elopment!

Matt is wonderful to work with, and Ashley takes amazing photographs! He found the perfect place for us to get married near the water in Gulfport. Great prices, he offers different packages that suit whatever your needs are. I even got a "happy wedding day" text the morning of :-)

Coastal Elopement

Incredible experience for me and my wife. You can absolutely expect a response. I couldn't believe how genuine Matt was and just a really great guy who takes what he does seriously because he carries a passion for it. Best phone call we made after we decided to get married!

The most perfect day planned less than 24 hours thanks to coastal elopement weddings

I have to give a huge big shout out to Matt with Coastal Elopement Weddings. He helped us put together the most perfect day in our lives in less than 24 hours. I called him yesterday at 2:00 pm and today at 2:00 pm we were married. Kevin and I were so thrilled to have gotten our license and get married in a private outdoor ceremony with our family there to support. Matt really has the couples interest at heart and truly cares about love and marriage and did an outstanding job officiating the wedding for us and setting up the decorations. Just simply perfect. Thank you Matt for making Kevin and I’s wedding day memorable. Thank you, Kevin and Rachel Sandoval

Best wedding planners ever!

Matt and Ashley were the best wedding planners we could have ever asked for. They took care of absolutely everything for my new husband and I, so we could be totally stress-free. The location, decor, seating, music, officiant, photography, set-up/take-down, submitting marriage license - EVERYTHING!!! The attention to detail was amazing... and best of all, the prices were amazing! Matt and Ashley are a husband & wife team. They do it all together and then during the ceremony, Matt is the officiant and Ashley coordinates and does the photography. They are the sweetest, most down-to-earth people you'll ever meet. We adored them! So, just a little about my wedding - We initially picked a venue across from the beach in a beautiful location with lots of greenery and live oaks. Less than a week before our wedding, our area was hit by a category 2 (almost 3) hurricane, badly damaging the coast and ultimately our wedding location. They scrambled around ensuring everything was taken care of including finding a new wedding location that wasn't damaged by the hurricane in just a few short days. Everything turned out perfect. It was the most wonderful day of my life, and I couldn't have chosen better wedding planners. We love Coastal Elopement!!!

Outstanding

Matt is perfect and gifted from God. He made our day beyond special despite all the hurricane clean up and family issues we had arise throughout our journey to becoming married. I can’t recommended him enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
