Every elopement includes:

• Private use of the venue during your reserved time

• Access to multiple ceremony locations (forest, waterfall, overlook, gardens, etc.)

• Professional photography by Nate Feldman (digital images included)

• Simple officiating. (I, Nate, am not the world's best orator, but I can listen to your vows, and make the pronouncement to make it official.)

• Light setup guidance and flexibility to personalize your day

• No hidden fees or service charges

All elopement packages include limited access to our on-site house and restrooms during your scheduled time.

The house is a 1970s single-wide manufactured home that’s been lightly remodeled to serve as a practical space—not a photo backdrop. It’s a comfortable spot to get dressed, touch up makeup, or use the bathroom, but it’s not intended as a hangout or hosting area.

Think of it as a staging space—simple, functional, and helpful for the flow of your day. We’re happy to show you around when you arrive, and make sure everyone is comfortable before heading into the forest.

• Fancy Officiant (we can recommend one, or Nate can legally officiate simple vows upon request)

• Flowers, décor, picnic items, or musicians (outside vendors are welcome if licensed/insured)

• Food or catering (though you’re welcome to bring your own or dine out nearby, we encourage you to keep this simple)

• Wedding license (you may get this from any county in California)
