2025 Candlelit Elopement

(prices subject to change; 2 people ONLY)

Exchange sunset vows in a romantic, candlelit ceremony in the meadow. This package is just for the two of you, and includes an officiant, our rectangle arch with drapes and a corner floral spray, a candlelit path to your sunset ceremony, and a complimentary bottle of champagne or non-alcoholic beverage to celebrate afterward. The package is for a two-hour time block beginning at or after 6:00 pm on any Sunday-Thursday night (adjustable based on sunset hours). Add an overnight stay in the loft for $200, and you may check out by 11:00 am the following morning.

*To avoid catching Montana on fire, we use flameless LED candles for the sunset ceremony.
