For couples whose love story began over shared books, whose first dates were in coffee shops with novels tucked under arms, and who believe that the best relationships are built on stories told and retold. This literary elopement experience celebrates your love of words alongside your love for each other.
Your journey begins with a virtual vow writing workshop led by a talented officiant who specializes in helping couples craft vows that speak to the magic in their own love stories. The workshop happens weeks before your elopement, giving you time to perfect words that you look forward to speaking from the heart on your big day.
On your elopement day, we’ll start at Powell’s Books – the largest independent bookstore in the world – where you’ll exchange a first look among the towering shelves of literature. From there, we’ll explore specialty bookshops chosen specifically for your interests: Maybe it’s Books With Pictures for graphic novels & comics, Dark Star Magick for rare occult books and grimoires, or Grand Gesture Books for your romance novel fix!
We’ll end with a cozy & quiet celebration featuring locally roasted coffee, artisanal pastries, and time to read your newly written vows to each other at a local park or garden.
