Where the Forest Meets the Sea – An Olympic National Park Hiking Elopement

  • Forest
  • Beach
  • Coastal
  • Private Chef

This full day elopement takes you exploring through multiple iconic regions of Olympic National Park. You’ll get to explore waterfalls and lush rain forest, as well as the moody, dramatic Olympic Coast. You’ll exchange vows, enjoy amazing views, and celebrate your love, all in one of the most unforgettable places on earth.

You’ll start your day quietly and slowly, as you and your partner get ready together. You’ll take turns getting pampered by a professional hair and makeup artist, followed by a few peaceful moments together while you both hand write your vows into your vow books. Soon, you’ll be helping each other into your attire and then heading out for your first adventure.

Your first stop will be a trail to two gorgeous waterfalls: Sol Duc and Lover’s Lane. You’ll take a low key hike through moss-covered forest, stopping to enjoy all the unique and beautiful flora and fauna along the way. At the first waterfall (Sol Duc), you’ll take some time to marvel at the scene from above, before adventuring further on nearby trails. This will take you to a second waterfall (Lover’s Lane), where you’ll have some intentional quiet time to sit together and be present.

Once you’re ready, it’s time to hike back out and head to your second location! The drive itself will be an experience, traveling through breathtaking forests, eventually emerging onto stunning coastal roads. Here, you’ll finally arrive at your destination: Ruby Beach.

Waiting for you will be a private chef, crafting a delicious meal with a view. You’ll enjoy multiple courses, specially made for the two of you, and you’ll share memories, jokes, and dreams with each other as the sun begins to set.

Once you’re finished eating, we’ll hike down to the beach. You’ll walk for a bit, before finding the perfect spot for the grand finale of your day: Your private vows. As the last light of the sun peeks over the horizon in brilliant colors, you’ll exchange promises and loving words that only you can hear against the roaring waves. You’re married!

You’ll spend the very last of sunset and blue hour wandering the beach together, soaking up the joy of being officially married. And as the light completely fades, you’ll end the night with a private first dance lit only by lantern light – just the two of you, with your favorite song, the sound of the ocean, and the joy of knowing you get to spend the rest of your lives with each other.

Optional Notes & Customization

Specific locations are just examples; you can opt to go to Sol Duc, Lover’s Lane and Ruby Beach, or we can talk about other locations for your specific experience. Some waterfalls are more seasonal than others; late summer can mean that falls are weaker, while spring can make for fuller falls. We will discuss your specific wants and hopes for scenery and experience, and I’ll make recommendations based on that!
