Heartfelt Service, Memorable Ceremonies

We are beyond fortunate to have partnered with Windi on dozens of events, and have high confidence in any ceremony that is placed in her loving and capable hands. Windi approaches each couple with care and professionalism, and we have so enjoyed watching the magical way she brings couples together to be married. As a vendor, we could not recommend her more!

Windi is Absolutely AMAZING!

When we first met Windi, we knew that we had found the perfect Officiant for our wedding. Windi helped us polish a ceremony of our own creation, embracing our uniqueness and eclectic spiritually. Windi is absolutely amazing - we cannot recommend her enough!

Our dream wedding ceremony!

Run to An Elopement was a PERFECT addition to our wedding day! Windi was our officiant, and she wrote the most BEAUTIFUL and thoughtful wedding ceremony for us. The first time we spoke was over the phone, where she told us all about her process and asked us a ton of questions about our love story & how we met. She then integrated into the ceremony, as well as what's most important to us going into our married life together. We recieved so many comments about how wonderful the ceremony was--there was laughter, tears, and most importantly joy that really came through thanks to Windi. She was very flexible when we ended up moving our wedding due to COVID, and even met with us for coffee a month before our wedding to get to know each other even better! During our rehearsal, she did a great job organizing our wedding party and families (which we know is like herding cats) and made sure everyone was comfortable for the big day. Windi is patient, kind, transparent, and we were so lucky to have her there with us, both during the meditative moment and during the ceremony. Run to An Elopement will always have a special place in our heart. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

A Beautiful Elopement

When COVID forced us to postpone our larger ceremony, we knew we still wanted to elope on our original date. Amy performed our elopement ceremony at Orchard House in Granville and she was wonderful. She truly helped save our big day! She was kind, friendly, eloquent, and a joy to work with. We would highly recommend her and Run to an Elopement!

Great Experiance!

I can not say enough good things about Amy and Run to Elopement! She was so helpful, professional and sincere. We hired her to be our officiant for our elopement that we had on our original wedding say since our big wedding was delayed due to COVID-19. We actually wanted to hire Run to Elopement for our original big wedding months ago but at the time they were not available for our date, so when I saw a elopement package at a adorable bed and breakfast that was collaborating with Run to Elopement I thought it was meant to be! I was a little worried at first since with the elopement package we didn't get to talk/meet Amy before hand and that we would just have generic vows, but I was so surprised on how meaningful and spot on the vows were. Amy arrived early to explain some of the legal paperwork side of things, discussed briefly how we wanted the ceremony to start and she even followed up once we were legally married. She made the process so simple and stress free!

Orchard House Elopement

Amy Aurore's sincerity was unquestionable. She seemed like she genuinely enjoyed marrying people. Her positive energy brought an extra dimension to our ceremony and her presence added a lot. She was friendly and professional at all times and the vows themselves were pretty much what we would have written ourselves. I would highly recommend her.

Elopement Dream!

Run to an Elopement made our last minute ceremony feel like a dream! My husband and I had to postpone our large wedding ceremony due to COVID-19, but we still wanted to tie the knot this year, on the planned date. Run to an Elopement did a wonderful job of making our special day feel special, even though it wasn't how we had planned it. Amy was friendly and kind, she beautifully officiated our intimate, outside ceremony in such a way that we will remember it the rest of our lives. Run to an Elopement followed up with instructions on how to order our marriage certificate and guidance on changing my name as well. Truly couldn't ask for anyone better!

Amy far exceeded our expectations!

Coming from two different churches and getting married outside of the church, we were looking for someone who would take our faiths into account when marrying us, and we found the PERFECT person in Amy from Run to an Elopement! She was kind, understanding, took the time to get to know us, and so helpful. She helped us think through our ceremony and the day in general to focus on what was most important to us. One of my most favorite moments of the day was the mindful moment we took with her right after the ceremony to take in what we had just done. We felt so amazingly connected afterwards, I highly recommend it. Thank you Amy for writing the most perfect ceremony and orchestrating the best day of our lives!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I highly recommend Wendi with Run to an Elopement! She was so easy to work with and helped with organizing ceremony to make the event successful. She has the ability to help design ceremonies for you to make it perfect to what your needs are. I love when my clients book her, she is so fun to work with! If you need an officiant, book Wendi!
