I was looking for something bigger than a court house wedding and smaller than a traditional wedding and found the perfect solution with Elope 253. As soon as I met with Rochelle, I knew this was the venue I wanted to marry in. When the big day arrived, all the staff were incredibly kind, patient, clear and concise with their directions. It gave me the ability to live in the moment and focus on my husband and I’s moment. The photographer was an absolute professional who knew how to make my hard to make smile son, actually smile for his photos again. I recommend the full package as it was worth every penny spent. Thank you to the team at Elope 253!!!
