“I truly cannot believe how seamless, beautiful, and completely stress-free my wedding day was - and it’s all thanks to the incredible team with Donna and Rebecca at Elope Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay!
Our officiant and ceremony coordinator, Donna, was nothing short of magical. When we mentioned our deep desire to be married in the Redwood Forest, she not only acknowledged it, but she helped us with securing the perfect spot! And, she took care of the paperwork to secure our permit!
She wrote a beautiful piece about being married with the Redwood Trees as our witnesses that touched our hearts. Our ceremony felt so personal to us. Donna is kind, warm, genuine and really easy to work with, making the whole experience feel effortless and meaningful.
From the very beginning, Rebecca made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. As someone who can feel a little self-conscious being photographed, that comfort level meant everything. She had a natural gift for working with our guests - effortlessly guiding family and friends while keeping the energy light and fun. The confidence she brought out in us is something I will always be grateful for. Our photos were delivered in a downloadable format to us within three weeks. We loved going through them to share an announcement that we “tied the knot”.
Together, Donna and Rebecca created a day that was everything we dreamed of and more. No stress, no chaos- just pure joy and love. This is a day that we will carry in our hearts forever and we have Elope Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay to thank for that. If you’re thinking about eloping or planning an intimate ceremony, do not hesitate-you are in the absolute best hands with them!”
