Don’t take my word for it. Read a review from one of my happy couples!
I have SO many good things to say about Vivian.
When we started planning our elopement, all we knew was we wanted to elope in Colorado. We had no idea where we would get married, or what activities we could do on our day. I was already feeling overwhelmed!
Vivian planned an initial phone call with me and my now husband, where she asked us questions about what we imagined for our day and what activities we liked to do. We talked about hiking and going to a brewery! We also talked about how we really wanted mountains, trees, and lakes in our pictures. Vivian suggested 3 locations where we could plan our elopement. We picked a location, and then Vivian gave us suggestions for hikes, breweries, and vendors. From that our day was planned! Vivian also created our timeline that included 2 hikes and a stop at a brewery. The majority our day was planned with little to no effort on my part.
Vivian also provides an online elopement guide. This guide was extremely helpful in making sure we had everything planned out. I referenced it many times. I specifically used the guide when purchasing hiking clothing, and I am glad I did, because we bought clothing that kept us warm and happy on our day.
Our actual elopement day was magical. I was very nervous for our initial hike, but Vivian gave me advice of how to prepare for the hike. During the actual hike, we took many breaks (which Vivian already accounted for in our timeline). Vivian did a great job of keeping us on our timeline and adjusting our timeline on the fly to give us more time at certain locations. I was so thankful to not be the timekeeper on my special day. Vivian also gave us advice on how to drive through the mountains and not destroy our car. She also gave us recommendations for additional hikes we could do while we stayed in Colorado. Vivian went above and beyond our expectations. It really felt like we spent the day with a friend who valued our interests and happiness.
We got our sneak peeks back within 2 days, and they were amazing! We cant stop staring at them. Our friends and families have given us so many compliments. They said we looked so happy in our pictures, and you could tell how beautiful Colorado is through the pictures. Vivian’s camera is AMAZING! The pictures are so detailed and the images are so clear. I cannot believe that Vivian captured our happiness and emotion of the day. We don’t have cheesy, posed wedding pictures, we have beautiful pictures that reflect what the day truly felt like.
We really feel like we have made a life long friend through this process. Vivian truly cares about your happiness and your interests. I am so thankful we had the opportunity to work with her. If you are on the fence about eloping, I HIGHLY suggest doing it AND using Vivian. Within one hour of our day, I knew we made the right decision.
