If you're here, you're probably been searching for legendary backdrops to bear witness as you dedicate your love story. You're wanting to keep things simple yet stunning & have those most important to you share in this once in this lifetime moment. You may even be looking for some adventure to add your special day? If this is you, you're in the right place!
Take a Closer Look
The Minimony Experience is an intimate elopement or vow renewal experience for you and up to eight of your closes friends and family (10 people max). It's an opportunity to come ready, enjoy a pre-set ceremony location, borrow a bouquet / boutonnière (or bring your own) & commit your lives to each other amongst the serene trees, pristine water, epic mountains & incredible wildlife that surround you.
Explore the shoreline, capture the moment & have the option to enjoy your cake or cupcakes with a luxury dessert picnic afterwards. It's a peaceful, stress free way to soak in the view, commit yourselves to one another & celebrate the day!
What's included?
Throughout the planning phase, you'll work directly with our Concierge to create the best timeline for your day. Whether you decide to arrive together or take separate vehicles to ensure a first look surprise, you're in good hands!
Upon arrival at the venue, your officiant and guests will be guided to the ceremony location by our Venue Liaison while you wait tucked away in our ready rooms. When it's time, we'll escort you & even carry your wedding gown train to the ceremony location of your dreams.
You'll also have the opportunity to take advantage of our Open House Events exclusively for Booked Couples. We welcome you to come enjoy the view, ask questions and say hi in the months before your big day. We even invite you to come back and reminisce each year on your anniversary month!
