As proprietor & officiate of Elope Mendocino, my heartfelt mission is to provide you with the intimate ceremony you have always dreamed of. I will assist you in finding the perfect location for your ceremony - whether you wish to enjoy the fresh moments of a new morning, the lingering sweetness of a leisurely afternoon, the splendor of a north coast sunset or in the deepening forest with majestic redwoods as witness to your vows or re-dedication ceremony. We work with the best vendors that the north coast has to offer - from custom designed bouquets to scrumptuous wedding cakes, Elope Mendocino will transform your dreams into reality.....and best of all, we believe we are the most reasonably priced Elopement service on the entire north coast.

Here is what some of my clients have to say:

Vanna is an amazing organizer! Highly creative and extremely flexible. Since we decided to change venues the day we arrived in Mendocino, she worked with us right up until the last minute, making sure all was in place. The poem she chose and read for us before the ceremony was thoughtful and meant a lot to us. Neither of us knew what to expect, but she put us totally at ease and helped us relax by being totally relaxed herself." Anne & John Holliday

Thank You Vanna, we had the best experience at our elopement in Little River with you as our Minister. Using the vows we had created and adding your own special touch made for a heartfelt and a beautiful experience. We were Married on the Van Damnne Beach - such beautiful scenery! Thank you for being so organized and professional. I was very grateful to be able to do all the planning online with you! Thank you so much for getting us off on the right foot." Terri & Bill

"Having Vanna officiate our elopement was truly the icing on the wedding cake! She was wonderful, caring and attentive to us. She paid special attention to the tiniest details including helping to customize our vows and we cherished having her there to share our most special moment." Kraig & Jessica Lawrence
