Being a wedding vendor is a blessing to be a part of such a private and intimate event. I am new to Elopements so I am excited to see what experiences we will encounter. Weddings for us began with my brother-in-law and his wife (Calvin & Judy) in June 2012. They trusted me with their wedding service, about 60-70 guests, and it was beautiful. Since then, we have had the pleasure of serving many couples in many different places. We have been able to connect with various vendors and businesses to produce all types of events. We enjoy planning educational, professional, and social events, but weddings and elopements are special because those events don’t ever leave the hearts and minds of the hosts and clients we serve, and we are a part of that precious memory.

Carla,

I don’t know how I would have been able to pull off my wedding without you!!! You were so amazing and everyone said how wonderful and professional and calm you were with “everyone” at your left and right. You truly had my back and there is no way I can thank you enough! I love you and appreciate you for all the before, during, and after.

Love you girl,

Veronica & Gevan Makle
