What seemed simple at first quickly turned into an overwhelming list of decisions. You’ve already tried to piece together your elopement through endless blogs, social posts, and Google searches.

Why Is Our Elopement Package Different From Others?

Most elopement planning services only offer photography and a little bit of extra support with planning services.

We also provide you with 6-hour photography coverage which is the perfect amount of time to capture everything without feeling rushed. 

Less stress

One of the biggest reasons to invest in an elopement package? Less stress. 

Your elopement is not meant to be overwhelming or complicated. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your day – worry-free. We know that couples who elope still have so many things to check off of their to-do list. 

At Ascend Together we’ve eliminated this issue for you with our all-inclusive approach to elopement planning and documenting. 

Connect with the best wedding vendors with our vendor vetting process 

You deserve only the best for your elopement, but after countless hours of research, what happens when you still don’t know which vendors to choose? 

That’s where we come in and assist you by helping you build your perfect vendor team based on your budget and your priorities. We make it easy by researching and finding quality vendors for you through our vendor screening process. All you have to do is sign the contract and pay the invoice to secure your vendor. 

Manage your budget 

Couples who choose to elope tend to prefer investing in experiences over anything else. 

We help you build and manage your budget so you are spending on what matters most on your dream day –  not out of obligation or what is trending, but what you intentionally choose. We help build out your budget with our onboarding questionnaire and elopement planning call. 

Personalized experience 

Your elopement is about celebrating YOU. With an elopement package, you get to build your day around the experience that you and your partner want to have. 

Toss aside the expectations, rulebooks, and obligations – your elopement is no one’s but your own. Our unique process and approach enable us to make your dreams and desires a reality because we take the planning off of your plate and provide you with limitless possibilities as elopement experts.
