Elope Asheville

Let me start by saying these people are AMAZING!! From start to finish they held my hand along the way of the treacherous task of being a bride! I stared by emailing John Paul (who officiated our wedding) when I first got engaged. Because we're from Florida we had NO IDEA who we should choose for our vendors. They recommended a great hair/make-up artist, a violinist, venues, etc! I ended up going with literally ALL recommendations and was so pleased that I did!! John Paul did a fantastic job (didn't mess up not one time :D) and he truly made us feel comfortable. THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS AMAZING!!!!! So, we stayed at a bed and breakfast and Amanda came to take some photos of me getting ready before the ceremony. She was so kind and patient with my awkward poses (lol!) Her fiance, Ben is also a photographer for Elope Asheville, and while Amanda took photos of myself, he took photos of the groom and family at the venue. This was so convenient because, of course, it took me awhile to get ready! I loved that he used that time so wisely. Now, the results of the photos were incredible. The mountains alone looked fantastic; but the editing, the creative photo ideas - more than I could have ever asked for. I am so happy I choose Elope Asheville for one of the most important days of our lives. We have such fond memories to look back on for many years to come. Thank you all so much for everything that you did for us!!!! More...

I’ve always wanted a small and intimate wedding, and when the time came, Elope Asheville delivered! Their entire staff is so wonderful and patient. They accommodated all of our requests without hassle. We were married at Jump Off Rock on 10/26. Our weather radars lied, and it began to rain the minute we parked, but this actually made our ceremony! Paul was wonderful and made us feel like he’d known us forever. Our photographer was amazing, and made sure that we captured all of our special moments, including first dances in the rain! If you’re looking for a stress-free wedding, you cannot go wrong with Elope Asheville! More...

From day one of emailing Elope Asheville they have been nothing but wonderful and professional with us. The next morning after I emailed, Amanda personally called to get the details of what we were looking for. She gave us great advice on the best place to have our ceremony and find out what they could do to make our day special. Our wedding day was beautiful! Paul wrote a wonderful wedding ceremony with values specifically for us, and Ben captured all of it with breathtaking photography of us at Jump Off Rock! As if that wasn't enough to make someone feel special, Ben and Amanda came to downtown Asheville and took us for an awesome, fun photo shoot the next day! We enjoyed their company hanging out with us as much as the amazing pictures they took for us. I could not recommend Elope Asheville enough - they really cared to make our wedding weekend so special for us! Thank you Amanda, Ben and Paul! We are so grateful and feel so special to have had you guys make our days above and beyond our wilds dreams! More...

Elope Asheville is simply amazing! They made our wedding day, and the months, weeks, and days leading up to our wedding so easy, and stress free. We opted for the all inclusive package, which included flowers, cake, minister. We also used their photographer and videographer.., and let me tell you.. these people are just FABULOUS. They made taking photos so fun (it included a hike), and they were willing to go the distance to get the amazing shots. The videographer even offered to include our engagement video in our wedding video. Like, honestly they treat you like they’ve known you forever. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. More...

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Elope Asheville! They were highly communicative right from the beginning, and went out of their way to accommodate our requests and preferences. We had 28 friends and family members join us at Addison Farms in early August, and they raved about the venue and ceremony. Now that we have the photos back, they’re all raving about those as well! Jon Paul And Amanda really did a great job. Even the out-of-the-box things, like requesting an upgraded cake (we’re cake people) were no problem (and it was amazing, by the way). Our entire wedding planning process was entirely stress free, so treat yourself to the same! More...

Elope Asheville created such a pleasant experience for me and my wife. We wanted a personal, intimate wedding far away from the piled on stress that would have came from getting married where we live. We decided we wanted to elope and I came across Elope Asheville on Google. The website is what mainly caught my eye so I sent them an email late that night and by the next morning, I got a response. Since that first initial email to the day before our wedding date (June 24th) they were wonderful at communication. I had to have sent them at least 30 emails from our first encounter and they responded to every single one of them. They are very friendly and very professional. On the day of our wedding, we met with Jon Paul and Ben and had a great experience. Both of them were hilarious and eased any nerves that we had. We haven't received any pictures yet but i'm sure they will be gorgeous. I highly recommend Elope Asheville! More...

Elope Asheville was so simple to work with and had quick follow up on our questions in planning our elopement. We had not been to Asheville before our wedding and I was so grateful for their local insights on the best spots, a plan for where to meet day of, and their help in planning a short and intimate ceremony for my husband and I. Our entire intent in eloping was to eliminate stress and planning and working with Elope Asheville absolutely accomplished both. I was a bit apprehensive about how photos would work out for us as we had not done an engagement session earlier and had never taken professional photos together before this day. I’m so grateful for how easy it was to be ourselves while working with Amanda, she really made it easy for us (very natural and comfortable) and I’m so looking forward to seeing our photos. Thank you for helping us plan our perfect day. More...

This company is amazing. We had Ben as our photographer and Jon-Paul as our minister. We had our ceremony at Jump off rock, which we showed up fashionably late to. .oops. They were totally fine with that and very very nice. I honestly am not good being up in front of people but these two made it the most amazing experience. I feel like they were old friends of ours rather than strangers. They captured us so perfectly in every sense. The photos were silly and heartwarming and very "us." Ben had us laughing and feeling at ease the whole time and Jon-Paul had the sweetest most touching words prepared for the ceremony and walked us through everything never letting us miss a beat. Amanda helped us through the entire planning process, even with me being particular sometimes and wanting specific things, she took all of my requests and was always open to questions. The photos we received were so spectacular and I think captured the day perfectly. We both traveled from different parts of the country to come together to get married here and it couldnt have turned out better. If you are on the fence with where you want to go or what service to use, this is the ONE. I promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much to the entire team! More...

One day I got it into my head that I wanted to ditch the fuss and frills and get married on top of a mountain. Shortly after, I found Elope Asheville's website. From the moment I emailed, I received warm and helpful correspondence from Amanda (and at the end Cassie) and they answered all of my questions (and went above and beyond in the process), expressed excitement for me and my upcoming nuptials, and made sure I had everything I needed and wanted. Amanda even gave me dinner recommendations that turned out to be the 2nd best decision made for the day! (The first being choosing Elope Asheville �)

Fast forward to my wedding day, and the hair stylist kept commenting that I was the calmest bride she's ever worked with. Well, this is because I literally had nothing to worry about. I knew Elope Asheville had it all taken care of. When we got to Craggy Gardens trail head, Ben and Jon-Paul were already there ready to go! We quickly got started.

The photoshoot with Ben was amazing. We couldn't have had a better person to match our sometimes (ok most times) crude and nerdy humor with a healthy dose of 90s and 2000s movie/tv/internet video quoting. He made us laugh the entire time, which was so helpful in keeping us natural (especially my now husband who typically resorts to stupid faces because he doesn't know what to do with his). We photog'd up the path until we got to the top.

Then comes the ceremony with Jon-Paul, though I admit to hearing probably 3/4 of it with all the getting married stuff happening around me, it amazed me that someone who didn't even know us prior to that day could make the situation seem so personal. He gives off this accepting and kind energy and it's easy to feel like you all belong together for that moment. His ceremony readings were beautiful, and it really seemed to match us as a couple (especially the poem). It was absolutely perfect.

After the ceremony, we took like a million configurations of group pictures with our families in attendance. To be honest, I was embarrassed having to ask for them considering this was supposed to be a low key "elopement", but I didn't even need to ask! We literally did every combo we could and more! Then we went and took some stunning pictures as a couple with the mountain backdrop, and Ben was willing to climb whatever needed to get the shot. I am so looking forward to seeing those wonderful pictures!!

Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better day. It was exactly what I wanted and more. I wish I could give them a million stars but alas Facebook has limited it to 5. If you want a low key wedding or elopement with people who are professional, kind, and awesome at what they do, then please choose Elope Asheville. ���� More...
