Why Choose an Elopement?

Elopements are perfect for couples who want to focus solely on each other without the pressure of planning a large, traditional wedding. These ceremonies allow you to celebrate your love in a simple, personal way, surrounded by the beauty of Sidney or the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island.

With no large guest list to worry about and no elaborate setup, an elopement lets you exchange vows in a setting that is intimate and stress-free, while still making your day special and official.

Whether you're looking for a private elopement on the beach or a small ceremony with a few close guests, J'lene is here to help create the perfect experience.

"We were thrilled when J’lene agreed to officiate our ceremony.

Unsure of the event we wanted, she listened to our vision, asked the right questions, and provided thoughtful feedback, helping us create the perfect experience. J’lene was sensitive to our wishes and added the right touches to make the day truly special. On the day, she arrived early, calmly handled logistics, and delivered a warm, fun ceremony full of personal touches. Thanks to her, our special day was stress-free, sweet, and memorable."
