My husband and I were looking at larger venues for our wedding, but they just didn't feel right for what we were looking for. We contacted Dash Pop Shop about 6 weeks prior to the date we wanted to get married and they were incredible every step along the way. They provided suggestions on places we could have our ceremony and were also open to any ideas we had. We ended up going with their first suggestion and were so thankful we did - it was BEAUTIFUL!! You can't beat hiring professionals who take care of everything for you for an incredible price. My husband and I just had to show up dressed with rings in hand - so low stress. We had a very intimate ceremony with just us and a good friend as our 2nd witness (Danielle the photographer was the 1st witness). Both of us had experienced large weddings previously (this is our 2nd marriage) and the experience we had with Dash Pop Shop was so different in a good way. Ashley is a wonderful officiant and very open to how you want your ceremony to go. Danielle is a very talented photographer who makes sure every detail is perfect for the pictures while allowing for you to be natural so your true love with your person comes through in the pictures. I can't say enough good things, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend using Dash Pop Shop for your wedding if you are looking for something smaller and low stress!

Very professional, responsive, helpful, creative and awesome to work with!

Dash Pop Shop was a Godsend for us.

My wife Hannah and I always wanted to elope, but we couldn’t just walk into a courthouse and have some stranger tell us we were going to be together forever.

We wanted something special, something personal, and something beautiful that we could treasure for the rest of our lives in a photo album.

We just had no clue how to make that happen.

But Dash did.

In the month before our ideal elopement time — after a couple months of worrying about ever finding help, — a friend referred us to Danielle, co-owner of Dash Pop Shop.

We knew Dash was the perfect fit for us in the first meeting.

Danielle had such a calming, professional and reassuring presence, making it clear from the start that we were in good hands.

She was also very thorough about our elopement must-haves, and she brought clarity to the questions that had been giving us anxiety:

Who’s going to take care of the wedding certificates? – Dash. Who’s going to take the pictures? – Dash. Would they drive all the way to Jemez to marry us at our favorite hiking place? – Yes.

But the thing that sold us on Dash was how much they cared about our story, and how much time they spent just getting to know us as a couple.

**Okay, full disclosure: we were also sold by the insanely reasonable price and all of the things we never thought we’d have for an elopement – like wedding donuts/champagne/a sound system so that we could have a first dance to our favorite song/floral arrangement/the freaking list goes on.**

We set our elopement date then and there without hesitation.

Wedding anxiety  gone.

When the big day came, Danielle and Ashley were as natural to our party as our family. They were punctual and positive, and they just had an infectious energy that created a buzz for our wedding.

(Dash LOVES weddings, and they know how to make it the most special day of your life.)

They had absolutely no problem trekking to our favorite outdoors space, even though it involved a couple miles of steep hills and loose rocks. (Most elopement planners would’ve charged an arm and a leg for that.) And they did it all while carrying the essentials for our ceremony: photography gear, sound system, folding table for the champagne/donuts/etc.

(They even had tissue paper for when I bawled like a baby during the ceremony, and wet wipes in case somebody needed to use the outdoor loo!)

We were completely taken care of.

Best day of our lives

Ashley made our ceremony feel sacred and perfect. Danielle was a consummate pro with the camera, guiding us into the right positions, getting every shot that we wanted.

We ended up getting everything that we wanted for our elopement: The ceremony location, the magazine-quality photographs, the assurance. And driving to our honeymoon the next day, as some of the crazy beautiful pictures were being sent to us by Danielle, my wife Hannah said,

“I seriously want everyone to know about Dash. This is the best $1,000 bucks we’ve ever spent.”

For the value we got, we gladly would’ve paid triple the price.


Thank you so much, Danielle and Ashley!!!
