Testimonials
We booked the small deluxe wedding package at Chapel Dulcinea in the hill country. Our day was lovely. Throughout the planning time (we booked a little over two months out) the Everlasting Elopement staff was easy to get a hold of and answered all my emails quickly. The day of everyone was on time and everything went smoothly.
I didn’t want to just go to the JP and get married but I wanted to do something special and Everlasting Elopements was the perfect solution. The scenery at Chapel Dulcinea is quiet and serene and perfect for our intimate ceremony. Highly recommend!
I was completely impressed with Everlasting Elopements. I had the ceremony and small wedding package for about 25 guests. Our ceremony was at the Chapel Dulcinea and the reception was at the Veranda Room. The grounds were impeccable and the views were breathtaking!
How does it work?
Everlasting Elopements’ unique and simple virtual wedding planning system was built to simplify the wedding planning process. To keep the stress out of the process, we have a step-by-step system to plan your wedding ceremony from now to ‘I Do’.
It all starts with the ceremony package! Once you have selected this we can customize any extras and build on a reception package. Then we will help you select and book the perfect venue that fits your vision. Once you book, it’s just a matter of completing a few forms, then showing up on the day with your license and rings– we do everything else! Wedding Planning does not have to be stressful or hard if you have the right team behind you to execute a flawless wedding day!
1. Select Your Wedding Ceremony Package
Whether you are looking for an elopement, a micro wedding, or just a simple exchange of “I Do”- we have a package for you to choose from. The first step is to select which one is right for you.
2. Select Your Extras
Once you have selected your package, you can select which level suits your needs. Each package has a Basic, Deluxe, and Premium level that offers various upgrades and add-ons. This allows us to do as little or as much as you need on your big day!
3. Select Your Reception Options
Once you have finalized your ceremony plans, we can add on one of a variety of reception options. Whether you want to have a Mini-Reception or Full Reception on-site, eat at a restaurant, or plan a reception on your own, we can help with rentals, cake, coordination, photography, and everything else you could need. If you decide to add reception elements in addition to your ceremony, we will simply pair the two packages together to get you the services you need for the full wedding day you are dreaming of!
4. Choose Your Venue
Now that we’ve gotten to know you and your wants and needs we can recommend venues that will work best for you! Or, if you have one already in mind, our packages will work there too. While we have many locations on our website for you to browse, if it’s not on our website we can still serve you there! Our packages work at ANY location!
5. Stress Free Planning
Once your ceremony has been reserved through our online reservation system, we will send you a series of emails with forms that go directly to your vendors. All you need to do is complete the forms and your vendors will reach out if needed. Remember, you always have the ability to add new elements as well as upgrade services you already have at any point if you choose!
6. Your Wedding Day
You and your fiance, along with any guests, will show up at the venue you have chosen with your marriage license and rings. The Everlasting Elopements Team of Wedding Vendors will take care of the rest and all the details so you can focus on what the day is really about- Marrying the One You LOVE!
