You’ve already found your person. Now let’s create an elopement that feels like the two of you!


If picking out napkin colours for 100 person dinners doesn’t sound fun to you, but the idea of frollicking through wildflower-filled-meadows does, then I might just be your second favourite person during this season.

I’m the go-to in the Sea to Sky for elopements and intimate weddings. 
I’ll get to know your vision, respect your budget and connect you with vendors who get your energy. All whilst handling all of the considerably less romantic, but equally important, fiddly bits behind the scenes.

All-inclusive shouldn’t mean assembly-line. You get to dream big while I handle the legalities, vendors and weather forecast.

START YOUR ELOPEMENT JOURNEY

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Vendor liaison, location guidance, personalized timeline and ceremony creation, plus thoughtfully prepared alternatives for the wonderfully unpredictable Sea to Sky weather.

PLANNING

OFFICIANT + HOST

A ceremony crafted around what matters most, with the legals taken care of.  I’ll keep you grounded, the paperwork filed and the ceremony moving at your pace. Without photobombing your kiss.

A dedicated professional, carefully matched to your vibe.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Beautiful blooms for the both of you, chosen to complement your day and your aesthetic. Optional, naturally.

FLORALS

HAIR + MAKEUP

Pros who get your aesthetic, whether you’re going barely-there or full mountain siren. Also optional.

THE EXTRA-GOOD STUFF

Guests are included - bring your favourite humans! Then choose to add videography, extra florals, helicopter rides, a sailboat, catering - whatever else makes the day yours

EVERYTHING IS CRAFTED WITH YOU IN MIND, SHAPED AROUND WHAT MATTERS TO YOU MOST.

CHOOSE YOUR SEA TO SKY ELOPEMENT PATH

These aren’t five boxes to squeeze yourselves into. They’re five ways to start imagining your day. Pick the path that sounds most like you, and then we’ll venture from there.

Prices below are benchmarks reflecting average spend - your final cost depends on vendor selections and duration,. Whatever your budget, we can work with it and recommend vendors to suit.

PRIVATE VENUES

I work with Squamish Canyon, Sitka Farms, House of Lager, Secret Beach Ranch, and more.

CUSTOM

I’ve arranged custom packages, from portaledge weddings to surprise weddings, to private boating adventures, if you can dream it, let’s see what we can make happen.

LET’S FIND YOUR PATH

HOW DOES IT WORK?

01.TELL ME WHAT MATTERS MOST

Whether you know what you want, or have nothing beyond “...we want to elope”, begin by filling out the inquiry form, and then we’ll jump on a no-pressure video call. We’ll chat about what you’re dreaming of, what matters most to you, your budget, and how you want your day to feel.

02.CHOOSE YOUR PATH

After our chat, I will put together a proposal based on your preferences. No cookie-cutter packages. No sending every couple to the same locations with the same vendors. The recommendations I provide will be based on your priorities, your style and your budget.

03.I’LL MAKE IT HAPPEN

Once your date is booked in (yay!), I'll send over one simple questionnaire and begin shaping your day. I’ll put together a timeline that’s at your pace, coordinate your vendors and take care of the fiddly bits, and be there to guide you through each step.

04.GET MARRIED!

The emails have been sent, the vendors know where they’re going and yes, there’s a weather backup plan. I’ll be there throughout the day as your guide, officiant and steady hand. You don’t have to think about the timeline, chasing vendors or wondering what happens next. Just you two, getting married and enjoying every minute of it.

Jenny + Binh

“We got married last week and Jude is honestly so amazing. Her sweet and welcoming aura made it feel like we've known each other forever. From the first meet and greet call, my husband (eeee still so giddy saying husband!) and I immediately agreed we HAVE to go with Jude. Getting married outdoors in BC in April is so weather dependent, Jude had a plan A and a plan B for us. I could not possibly imagine a more perfect place that encompassed who my husband and I are. I also really appreciate the local photographer Jude found for us and local florist! Jude made our once in a lifetime day SO magical and we want to tell all our friends about her!!”

“I don’t think I can find the perfect words to describe how special Jude made our elopement day! She truly goes above and beyond, in her details, her thoughtfulness to make things unique, and capture all the moments for us to remember. She made the day and days leading up seamless, it made it so we could just be present with one another and enjoy every moment of the day with calmness. Her creativity she added to the day made it so memorable, and the special spots she found for us were beyond what we could have imagined. And she did all of this within only a couple weeks notice! She’s PHENOMENAL!!”

FAQ’s

  • Personally, I think the rain is epic and romantic and if you lean into it, it’s so memorable. (Watch this and tell me you don’t want it to rain at your elopement?!)
    In all seriousness, that’s a valid question considering how cheeky the Sea to Sky weather is. The beauty of eloping is that we can adjust to the conditions on the day. We will have a plan B (and sometimes a plan C or D) and I don’t want to give all my tricks away, but know we will discuss it well in advance. I have matching clear umbrellas for you + your guests. I know spots sheltered by the forest / rocks / and did you know, when it rains on land here, it’s often barely raining in some spots on the Howe Sound (hello sailboat back up plan), I got you!

  • Yep! If you want it to be, then I’m gonna marry you so hard.

  • You sure can. You’ll still need to get your marriage licence in BC, which can be done on short notice (my record is three hours). Marriage performed in Canada are usually recognized internationally, but it’s best if you check with your local government. For U.S. couples, recognition varies by state.

  • You’re safe here, my friend. I’m in the community + honoured to perform LGBTQIA2S+ ceremonies. I only collaborate with inclusive, affirming vendors. All love, bodies, religions, and backgrounds are welcome here.

  • Get in baby, we are renewing them vows! YES of course, I love the richness of a love well lived.

  • Of course! I’ll be mad at you if you don’t email me! Reach out at jude@elopesquamish.com
