why elope in whistler
Whistler is your perfect elopement destination
Elopements are so incredibly special and I treasure every elopement I’ve had the pleasure of sharing with my couples. A Whistler Elopement isn’t just about the wedding, it’s about the journey from before the day until long after. I know what it’s like to live a busy life with work, family, and friends all over the world. Trying to fit everything in is hard without help. So, the answer is you can elope any way you want!
If you're looking for the perfect place to take your significant other, look no further than Whistler. I believe your day should be captured in an artistic way, that it can be more than just the simple act of getting married, but the start of something magical, something extraordinary.

How my couples like to celebrate
With helicopter, ATV, gondola, skiing, snowboarding and hiking activities that will make your Whistler Elopement the best day ever.
Let’s start planning your whistler elopement experience.
-
Determine how many people will be joining you for your elopement. Do you want to keep it intimate with just the two of you, or do you want to invite a small group of family and friends? Elopements are typically with 10 guests or less but most of my couples elope with no guests!
-
Decide what time of year you want to visit Whistler. If you love skiing or snowboarding, winter is a perfect time. If you prefer hiking, biking, or other outdoor activities, summer is ideal. Spring and fall are also great times to visit, with milder temperatures and fewer crowds. No matter the time of year, it’s elopement season!
-
What activities do you want to do during your stay in Whistler or on your elopement dat? Do you want to ski or snowboard, hike, bike, take a visit to a local brewery? Whistler offers a wide range of outdoor activities that are perfect for an elopement and provide spectacular opportunities for photos and video.
-
Determine whether you want a full-day or half-day experience for your elopement. This will depend on the activities you want to do and the time of year you visit.
-
If you have pets that will join you on your elopement day, there are pet sitter services to ensure they’re well looked after for the times they’re unable to join you.
-
Decide how adventurous you want your elopement to be. Do you want to hike to a remote location, take a helicopter to a mountaintop, or go bungee jumping? Whistler has plenty of options for thrill-seekers, but also provides easy accessible scenic spots for guests who may not be on that same adventure-seeker level.
-
Consider hiring a wedding planner who is familiar with Whistler and can help you with everything from finding the perfect location to arranging the details of your elopement. Or, book an all-inclusive elopement with a photographer or videographer.
-
Make sure to obtain a marriage license before your elopement. You can apply for a marriage license in British Columbia online or in-person at a Service BC office. Or decide if you want to handle the paperwork on another day? An all-inclusive elopement package includes an officiant who will guide you through the paperwork process.
Taylor and Taylor’s Whistler Heli Elopement at Beverly Lake
Yes, that’s right! They share the same name! Taylor and Taylor traveled from the US with some family members for a summer elopement in Whistler. We planned our a multi-heli ride so their party of 13 could come together at Beverly Lake to celebrate their elopement. The ceremony was led by their good friend and they exchange vows on a hot summer day.

Why do I need a videographer?
What is your reason for choosing an elopement? Maybe your family is located elsewhere in the world? Or are you after a more intimate experience? Walking away from your Whistler elopement with a collection of photos, in addition to a fully edited highlight film is priceless to many couples, but also comes with an additional investment.
