My partner and I chose Dan at embracing Ceremony for our elopement services and it was a wonderful choice! We have been wanting to elope for a while and had initially planned on eloping in Vegas but while there, we ended up getting far to sick to leave our hotel room. This ended up being such a blessing in disguise because after our elopement was delayed, we started looking into wedding services in northern New Mexico because we are frequently in the area and both love it. We found Dan's service recommended through Google and decided to reach out to him. He got back to us super quick and was able to accommodate our preferred elopement date on a relatively short notice which is double impressive because we were planning our elopement only a few days before Christmas. This, along with Dan's easily navigable website showing his services really gave my partner and I positive vibes about the elopement services he offered and we chose to book with him. When we arrived for our service, the garden area and parking was easy to find despite its somewhat rural location which was a huge relief because sometimes new Mexico roads leave a lot to be desired. After arriving, Dan greeted us and gave us a brief tour of the garden, since it was a relative small group we were able to choose a spot with a beautiful view of Taos mountain to perform the ceremony. The ceremony Dan created for my partner and I was very beautiful and he did a wonderful job at taking into account my partner and I's religious preferences. After the ceremony, Dan gave us some time in the garden to admire this moment together and he also snapped some pictures for us on my partner and I's camera. The elopement experience Dan provided for us was absolutely wonderful and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to elope in the northern New Mexico area (:
