Choosing to elope in Manitoba is a big decision – especially considering the lack of resources available! We’ve put together our ‘Better-than-Vegas’ elopement collection to make the process easier for couples. The collection includes a stay in one of our cozy 2-person glamping domes, ceremony set up, trusted recommended vendors, a day-after DIY breakfast, and even witnesses if needed. Choose to elope in the traditional sense, with no other guests, or invite up to 10 of your closest friends and family to share the celebration with you. The small group means that you have more options for ceremony locations across our 10 acre property.

Sara and Marc chose to elope with myself and Rene as their witnesses. I also had the honour of being their photographer and Rene was their ring-bearer when Cheryl, from Marry Me, Hunnie, called for the rings. They stayed in our Aurora Dome, shared their vows just outside along one of the walking trails, and chased the storm clouds along the river bank before sneaking inside the pavilion for dinner. Their personal touches spoke of their connection to film + animation, including a handmade ring box that I can guarantee no one else has done before.
