Elopement

Their Experience:

“We worked with Melissa for our elopement in December 2019 and it was such a perfect experience! She was incredibly helpful and calming as we began the preliminary planning process over the phone, helping us find a marriage commissioner in Gibsons, making a schedule for our day, and learning our preferences for flowers and decorations.

We knew we wanted to get married on a beach near Gibsons but were not sure exactly which one would be best. Melissa scouted potential locations and sent us photos in advance, and then the day before our ceremony she even met up with us and took us to (I have to assume) every possible beach nearby so we could see them all in person and choose the best one. She was incredibly patient and really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

The day of our ceremony we didn’t have to worry about any logistics – we just arrived at the beach with our photographer and Melissa was there waiting with our commissioner, lovely decorations laid out, and the most beautiful florals I could have imagined! Immediately following the ceremony we were handed glasses and a bottle of champagne – the perfect finishing touch!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Melissa, she made our day so relaxed, carefree, and beautiful.
