Magical Elopement!

I am so happy we found Elope Outdoors. I was immediately drawn to their laidback approach and beautiful pictures. While everyone was laidback, they were extremely organized. All the details were taken care of and Cassie was super helpful, checking in while we waited for our big day. The details were perfect. I was obsessed with our flowers and I am still thinking about the triple chocolate ganache cake. Most of all, I appreciated how Elope Outdoors helped us create an intimate experience that we will treasure forever.

High quality, excellent communication, amazing photography

Elope Outdoors helped us to plan a perfect, beautiful, intimate elopement from 300 miles away. Cassie and Megan consistently went above and beyond our expectations of the company to coordinate details for our dream Jewish elopement on top of a mountain.

The EO team was responsive to emails- often answering our evening or weekend emails within several hours- and helped us to feel comfortable with strangers planning such an important moment in our lives. Cassie helped us to work through all anxiety and concerns about the various aspects of our day. She not only gave us options for every aspect, but provided detailed pros and cons for each date, location, and time of day. She is truly an expert in this field, and does her work humbly but brilliantly.

We selected Elope Outdoors based on the pictures from their blog posts, as we wanted to share high quality images with our loved ones. The photography from our day exceeded all expectations. The photos are stunning and capture our personalities to a tee. We were both slightly nervous about our comfort level with formal photos, as we are both goofy and not always photogenic; but Megan's warmth and sense of humor put us at ease as soon as we met her on our wedding day. We were surprised by how much fun we had taking the pictures, and blown away by the beauty of the photos.

We would recommend Elope Outdoors to any couple that is looking for a team to personalize your special day, especially if you are looking for local experts to help you plan a Blue Ridge Mountain elopement.

Look no more!

I would 100% recommend Elope Outdoors. We decided to elope last minute due to COVID and actually had no idea elopement companies existed until I first googled it in 12/2020 (we married 4/2/21). I researched and contacted several companies and Elope Outdoors was the one who stood out. They were responsive, friendly and answered all my questions. They gave me a feeling that our wedding would be unique and special to them (and not just another wedding on the list). They helped me pick an appropriate venue (Cataloochee valley in NC) as we would be involving our one year old in the day and led us step by step along the way. They even connected us with a sweet woman Kaitlyn who helped take care of our toddler so that we could take pictures and focus on our ceremony. It was essentially a stress free process because of Elope Outdoors.
We picked Jay Webb as our chaplain and she was fantastic. She created a very personal and sentimental ceremony and advised us on our vows. Meghan was the photographer and she was able to capture our vision with amazingly beautiful pictures. She guided us on the day and made it a very special and laid back fun experience. Jenny from heartistreestudios also captured our day with a touching beautiful highlight video. We can't stop rewatching it... its so good! These three women definitely helped make our wedding day an unforgettable experience and documented it beautifully for us to reflect back on and also share with our friends and family who were not present.
Thank you Elope Outdoors!!

Amazing Elopement Company!

We are so impressed with everything with Elope Outdoors! When we decided to elope, we reached out to the company, and Cassie made sure she responded to us in a timely matter and answered any and all questions we had. It made planning everything so easy! We felt like we had hardly anything to do because they work like a well-oiled machine! On the day of the ceremony, everyone made everything so easy and made sure our day was how we envisioned. We could not have asked for a better company to work with. Thank you, Elope Outdoors!

They are the best!

I am so glad to have chosen Elope Outdoors for our weeding. This incredible team made possible a perfect day for us. We planned everything with them by email since we don’t live in Asheville, and the communication was so easy, clear, fast and friendly. Cassie made sure that all the details were planned, checking the weather and the park openings days before our wedding, and due to a park closure, we had to change the location, issue that Cassie resolved immediately. We really did not have to worry for anything, and we had a total stress-free weeding, just like we wanted. Rev. Nick officiate the ceremony. He is so nice, friendly, and sweet, that I felt that I know him from a long time. The ceremony was so memorable, he made a very special moment for us, offers a lot of options for a ceremony style, and he included all the details we wanted, making a smooth and romantic experience. Now I had Maddie, last but not least, out photographer. She is the best photographer I have ever met. Her work is impeccable, the quality of the pictures is from a luxury magazine, she make us looks like actors from a movie. The photos are from heaven!!!!! So worth it. And on top of that, she is so sweet and nice person, easy to talk with, she made us feel so comfortable, that we not being persons that like be taken photos, we even enjoyed the photo sessions. We laughed and relaxed by the beautiful moment in that amazing landscape. I expected to have professional people working for my wedding day, but this go far and beyond, above all kind of expectations. Thank you for our dream day!

Amazing Elopement Experience!

I'm so thankful that we went with Elope Outdoors to make our Asheville mountain elopement dreams come true! The whole team was so communicative and friendly, and made sure that every detail was perfect for our big day. When weather issues came up, they were there with plenty of back-up options and made sure to get us in a new (and even better!) location. The quality of the entire experience was amazing and I couldn't be happier.

Perfectly Fun

Had such a great experience. From planning to the final pictures loved it all. Great crew to help you plan and execute everything. It honestly felt like friends by the end. Flowers and cake were perfect. We even had a last minute location change (out of all our hands) and it worked out even better. Pictures and video are very lovely and returned quickly. Can't say enough good things. It was romantic and fun and exactly what I wanted.

Excellent experience with Elope Outdoors!

Working with Elope Outdoors was the best experience! Cassie helped to graciously coordinate our day meticulously, answering any questions promptly and lending vendor recommendations when needed. The actual elopement day was stress free, relaxed, and so enjoyable. The photos were more than we could have hoped for and captured our day magically. Highly recommend working with Meghan and the whole Elope Outdoors team!

Elope Outdoors is truly amazing!

The Elope Outdoors team was amazing and so helpful every step of the way! They made our wedding day a dream come true while taking all the stress and worry out of it. They worked with our tight timeline of planning the wedding in under a month and were incredibly responsive with every question I had. We just got our photos back and they turned out absolutely stunning and we are so impressed. Megan did such a great job and was so helpful the day of our wedding! Our officiant, Michael, did a wonderful job with our ceremony. I would 100% recommend Elope Outdoors!
