Question

Can we come to the elopement if not in the wedding party? Or can a plus one tag along to the elopement?

Answer

We will not be arranging transportation for any additional people. You are all more than welcome to rent a car and follow the wedding party up to Artist Point, it is beautiful. The roads are narrow, switch back mountain roads, and does climb to the highest drivable point in Mount Baker National, if you are not comfortable and confident in making this drive, we can help connect guests with others who are driving to carpool but nothing is promised.
