Why elopement

Small doesn't mean less.

An elopement isn't a "lesser" wedding — it's a different one. It's choosing the moments over the menu. The view over the venue. The two of you over everyone else's expectations.

I bring the same Bohde experience — the planning calls, the timeline magic, the friend-of-the-couple energy — just zoomed in on what matters. No aunt-wrangling required.

The FOMO is just for the two of you.

The best places to elope

Hill Country magic spots.

Texas has some of the most underrated elopement landscapes in the country. Here are the six I keep coming back to.

Pedernales Falls State Park

Dramatic limestone, layered water. Permit required.

Enchanted Rock

Iconic granite dome. Sunrise ceremonies are unreal.

Hamilton Pool Preserve

Grotto magic. Reservations book up fast.

McKinney Falls State Park

15 minutes from downtown Austin. Underrated.

Lost Maples

Fall foliage season (mid-Oct to mid-Nov) is unbeatable.

Big Bend

For the true adventure elopement. Travel quote required.

Elopement FAQ

Real elopement questions.

Do we need a permit for state parks?

Yes — most Hill Country state parks require special-use permits for ceremonies. I'll walk you through which form to file and when. Some venues like Hamilton Pool also need a reservation booked months in advance.

How many guests can come to an elopement?

Up to 20 is the comfortable cap before it stops feeling like an elopement. If you're planning 30+, ask about a micro-wedding package instead — same vibe, sized up.

What if it rains?

We have a backup plan baked in. For state park elopements, we scout an indoor alternative or move the date if the forecast is genuinely catastrophic.

Can you help with the legal stuff?

In Texas, you'll need a marriage license from any county clerk (72-hour waiting period). I can connect you with officiants and the licensing process — I've done this enough times to know the drill.

Can we elope on a Saturday during wedding season?

In peak season (June–October), I prioritize weekday elopements so I can give weddings my Saturdays. Outside peak season, Saturdays are fair game.
