Elopements That Feel Like the Whole World Stopped for You
Just the two of you on a Rogue River overlook, or twenty of your favorite people around a candlelit table after. We plan elopements with the same care as a full wedding, permits, florals, photographer, and every quiet moment in between.
Small guest list. Big, unforgettable day.
An elopement should feel like the two of you paused the world. No head table, no first dance you're dreading, no receiving line, just the moments that actually matter to you.
Southern Oregon is one of the most beautiful places on earth to say yes: redwoods in Cave Junction, vineyard hilltops in Jacksonville, the wild Rogue River, and hidden bluffs above the coast. We handle the permits, scout the light, and build the day around your vision.
For couples who want a small gathering to follow, we design intimate dinners for 6, 12, or 20, a private-home chef, a winery patio buyout, or a candlelit long table under string lights. Every bit as considered as a 200-person reception, at the scale that fits your love.
Every detail, held for you.

Good questions, honest answers.
- How many guests can attend an elopement or micro wedding?
- Elopements are typically just the two of you plus witnesses. Micro weddings usually cap around 20 guests. Above that, we recommend our full wedding planning experience.
- Do you handle permits for state and national parks?
- Yes. We handle permits and reservations for Oregon state parks, the Rogue River–Siskiyou National Forest, and private venues throughout Southern Oregon.
- Can we still have a photographer, florals, and a nice dinner?
- Absolutely, those are usually the things that make an elopement feel unforgettable. We source and coordinate all of it, scaled to a small guest count.
- Where is Bella & I Do based?
- Based in Grants Pass, Oregon, planning throughout Southern Oregon, Medford, Ashland, Jacksonville, Central Point, the Applegate Valley, and traveling for destination celebrations across the Pacific Northwest.
- Do you travel?
- Yes. Travel within 50 miles of Grants Pass is included in every proposal. Beyond that we're happy to travel across Oregon and Washington for a modest travel fee.
- Can you work with vendors we've already booked?
- Absolutely. We regularly integrate with couples' and hosts' existing vendors, we'll review contracts, fold them into your timeline, and communicate with them directly on your behalf.
