Andrea, Dee, and Annie were SO WONDERFUL to work with! They were so patient and supportive throughout our engagement; and I changed the location probably 1,000 times! We are so thankful to have discovered this company, they made our elopement SO much easier and even stayed positive despite the POURING rain during the ceremony. Our pictures and flowers were STUNNING, I wish I could get married again to work with them! If you're looking to get married in Oregon, I highly recommend Elope In Portland -- a fantastic woman-owned business, you will not be disappointed.

These three ladies are an amazing team. We planned a small elopement in about 3 weeks time and they helped with picking where to buy a dress to making sure our vows were ready! Each one of them has their own unique role and they killed it! Dee is so sweet and made our ceremony personal to us, Andrea is an amazing photographer and Annie made me such a beautiful bouquet with the exact colors I wanted. I felt no stress with them, even with the rainy forecast we had for our wedding day! I highly recommend Elope in Portland. I'd do it all over again with them!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would because they truly deserve it. We had a short timeframe from initial contact until when we wanted to get married and they delivered. They are extremely talented, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. They made the most important day of our lives very memorable and beautiful. It was everything we wanted. We’re forever grateful and so happy we chose them. If you’re thinking about eloping, this is the place.

You can see the passion Andrea, Dee, and Annie have for their job and clients. These women go above and beyond in every aspect of your working with them. All we had to do was answer a questionnaire about ourselves, send inspiration pics of floral arrangements, and show up on the day! They turned a simple elopement into a beautiful ceremony.
Dee took a simple questionnaire and was able to officiate like she's known us for years. Annie took my few inspo pics, read my mind, and made a perfect bouquet. Andrea was patient and comforting with our awkwardness in front of the camera, and was able to capture

Everything about our experience working with Elope in Portland was absolutely amazing!! Both Andrea and Rev Dee were so sweet and easy to communicate with, and we loved how personalized everything felt! Our elopement was perfect, flowers and photos were STUNNING, and the whole experience was totally stress free! We also love that they're a local, women owned company - so much better than working with a big, impersonal elopement service like Simply Eloped! I would recommend Elope in Portland to anyone and everyone!!

Working with the team from Elope in Portland was wonderful! They are very communicative. Since I was coming from out of town they were able to clarify any questions I had about the areas I was thinking of eloping. Rev Dee made sure I knew about applying for a license in Oregon and offered to help me if I got stuck along the way. Everything about them was so professional. Rev Dee was so sweet and made our vows sound so sweet and she had a lovely warmth about her. My bouquet was STUNNING. I was nervous to see them as I had only sent pictures of what I was thinking of and some flowers I hoped Annie

We got a great deal when we found Elope in Portland. We are from Los Angeles, and did not have the time or opportunity to scout locations and services, but we knew what we wanted and Elope in Portland's crew really helped to make it happen! We spoke with the ladies over the phone, and they checked out the location to see how things would work out. Simply, our boutonniere and bouquet were very fitting and colors were perfect.
Dee Richardson (Our officiant) knew just what to say that fit us as a couple and made us feel comfortable especially as we were flyin' solo! Also, our photographer, Andrea

Andrea, Dee and Annie with Elope and Portland helped make my wedding dreams come true! They were both very responsive with emails and phone calls and eagerly answered all my questions. They even went the extra mile to bring flutes and a cake knife for our "reception" photo shoot. Andrea helped discuss different settings and was eager to meet my requests. Dee had a beautiful homily that mentioned special moments my husband and I had shared with her. Annie helped create the bouquet of my dreams! These ladies were wonderful to work with and I am grateful for their dedication to making my elopement
