Embracing Ceremony Blog

So you’re thinking of eloping in Taos? It’s a great idea! I’ve enjoyed my role as a Taos wedding celebrant for many increasingly-popular elopements in the last few years. Some couples like the ease of one-stop shopping, particularly when they seek a simple elopement package. The fun is in choosing a place for fine dining afterwards or the accommodation that meets your budget and lifestyle. I have a resource list to help you with those decisions. (Ask for it free at the bottom of every page on this site.) As for the ceremony, I have developed three elopement packages (listed below) which include unique outdoor wedding locations. So if you’re thinking of eloping in Taos, these packages will hopefully take some of the stress out of your planning. VISIT MY ELOPEMENT PACKAGES PAGE more details.
