What exactly is The Elopement Experience?!

The elopement will be taking place at a private estate with a stunning view of the California valley, just an hour north of San Francisco. Sara + I will be providing 4 hours of wedding day services with the option to turn this Elopement Experience into a weekend experience for your friends and family! Sonoma County is one of California’s top food and wine destinations, home to more than 425 wineries. There are opportunities to hike among towering redwoods, cruise along rugged Pacific coastline and get to know inviting small towns. Or, just sit back and take it all in.
