Sea to Sky Elopement packages include photography, hair, makeup, florals, officiant, planning and coordination (as well as your Helicopter flight or yacht cruise for SKY and SEA elopements).
You can personalize your elopement by removing any of these vendors that you feel you do not need.
There are multiple photographers with a variety of styles available to you. Each elopement comes with a booking with Unspoken Photography. If you feel this style does not suit you, please select one of our other talented photographers in the contact form.
Once you submit your form, we will contact you with a quote within 2-3 business days.
We hold your preferred elopement date for 2 weeks without payment while we work out the details of your quote.
Once we get your quote to a place you are happy with, then we will send you a contract for you to review and sign. (This will be the only contract you need to sign - apart from waivers)
Once we have a signed contract, then we take payment.
Once payment is in hand, you will then be sent our questionnaire which will launch us into the planning of your dreamy elopement!
-
YES! If you've already hired a florist, officiant, or other vendor, we are happy to accommodate and work with them. We will just need their contact information and contracts that you signed with them.
-
Yes! We encourage weekdays due to quiet locations, the flexibility of vendors (who then are not booked with full day weddings) and the lower vendor costs available on weekdays. However, if you want to inquire about a weekend date, please let us know and we will try to accommodate.
-
YES! If you have a deposit one of our photographers, videographers, officiants etc we are happy to use your deposit as a credit towards your elopement!
-
NO. It does however include your photographer, officiant and videographer should you choose to have one.
-
For our baseline packages, if we have sufficient notice (+48 hours) YES we can refund a flight cost to a guest who decides not to fly. If you choose the upgraded back country landing option, the pricing is set to include all of your guests. Should one of your guests cancel, this does not change the price of your flight so there would be NO refund issued.
-
Once a contract has been signed, payment is due in full within 2 business days - however if this is really a stretch for you, we are able to provide you with a payment plan!
-
Good question! We do not offer refunds for sickness or rescheduling/postponing regarding sickness. Similarly, if you were having a large wedding with 100+ people and you became sick, you would not cancel your wedding because the plan is set in motion and you have incurred costs for the event. In the same vein, if your planner, your photographer, pilot, officiant became sick, they would find a suitable replacement in order for your elopement to continue. Now, COVID-19 presents an interesting caveat as of course we don't want to expose anyone to COVID. Though this hasn't happened to us yet with any of our clients (fingers crossed), this is what we would do. Should one of you become ill with COVID-19 and need to change the date of your elopement from the date listed on your contract, to reschedule/postpone, you will be subject to a rescheduling fee in the amount of 10% of your contract, as well as any additional charges from the vendors involved in your elopement should there be any. We would do our very best to transfer your payments to the new date with no penalty to you, however not all vendors are able to accommodate that request, especially if it is made on short notice (less than 48 hours). The rescheduling fee covers the administrative work required by our team to move deposits, adjust contracts, re-communicate with vendors, rearrange schedules, create new timelines, plan for new weather, apply for new permits etc. Unfortunately we are in a time of life where there is inherent risk that comes along with planning a wedding during the covid-19 global pandemic. Should we reach a point where we would need to reschedule for this reason, all of this is outlined in our rescheduling addendum that we would get you to sign.
-
When you submit an inquiry for an elopement, you provide us with three options for potential dates. The way your date gets chosen is based on vendor availability. So we start with your preferred date and work down the line if someone isn't available. Because these packages are offered Mon-Thurs there is typically lots of availability with vendors and all of our couples, so far, have been able to have their first choice of date. We like to ask for the backup dates just in case we need another option for a date
-
What you can do is estimate your weight for now and then 1 week before your elopement, you can update us on your weight if it has changed much from your estimate and we can get that changed for you so you are not charged. As long as we have a heads up with sufficient time (1 week), there won't be extra charges. We just don't want anyone showing up with a statue for decor that we didn’t know about..!
-
We can absolutely accommodate! In our contact form there is a ‘Basic Downgrade’ option where you can remove any element included in our packages in order to allow you to create a package that perfectly suits your budget and your needs!
