How long will it take?

Most couples start with four hours for getting ready + the elopement ceremony itself. Then I recommend adding one additional hour per location plus travel time in between! You can book anywhere from 2 to 12 hours depending on the variables and itinerary of your elopement -- contact me if you need any ideas or suggestions!

Lake Crescent is the second deepest lake in Washington State, and one of the deepest in North America. It's frigid, low-nitrogen waters deter the growth of bacteria, contributing to the lake's clarity and stunning sapphire color. When the sun is out. you won't believe the incredible blue hue of the water! But that's not all Lake Crescent has to offer -- miles of trails winding through old-growth forest along the steep mountainsides that surround the lake, stunning views from the peaks above, and charming historic lodges dotting the lakeshore are just some of the highlights you'll discover at Lake Crescent!
Whether you're planning an intimate wedding ceremony with just a handful of close friends and family, a large wedding with all your loved ones, or a tiny elopement with just you, your partner, and an officiant, Lake Crescent has so much to offer. Larger weddings can be accommodated at Lake Crescent Lodge, NatureBridge at Olympic, and Camp David Jr. on the northern shore. Intimate weddings and elopements can take place almost anywhere, from Marymere Falls, Storm King Ranger Station, Bovee's Meadow, Fairholm Campground, or the peak of Storm King itself, if you're up for the hike!
