The team at AEC were the perfect choice! Everything was amazing and honestly more than we could have expected. The process was easy and stress-free. Their suggestions made the wedding unforgettably beautiful! Rich officiated and it was as if he'd known us for years. His words were personalized for us, our family, friends, and four legged guests included. Shelby's photograph's - WOW! We were floored with their abilities and professionalism. A perfect ten in our book! Rich and Shelby ~ thank you for making our day exactly what it was supposed to be! With Love and Gratitude, April & Alex Less

What a great experience! Every detail of the day was wonderful. From Officiant, flowers !!!, makeup, photos, and location…outcomes were beautiful and top notch. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of selecting Arizona Elopement Collective as our planners/coordinators! Thank you a million! Less

Working with Rich and Shelby at the Arizona Elopement Collective was by far the best decision we could have made to get married. From the very beginning they made the process of selecting our options simple and custom-fitted to exactly we wanted. On the day of our wedding, everything was smooth, relaxing, and extremely personal, so it made our wedding an unforgettable experience and one we’ll hold dear to our hearts forever. We would highly recommend booking the sound bath experience for that added level of relaxation for your wedding. Our photographer, Paige, our officiant, Jen, our musicians playing our song lineup and of course Rich and Shelby made us feel like part of their family from the planning all the way to the day of the marriage. Thank you so much for making our wedding romantic, memorable, and a one of a kind experience! Less

Our wedding day was exactly what we wanted. Rich and Shelby were so easy to work with, took care of everything, and made our day feel extra special. Leading up to the wedding everyone would ask if I was stressed with the planning, and the answer is absolutely not! They made this process stress free. The ceremony was beautifully written and the sneak peek of our pictures are stunning, I can’t wait to see the rest! Thank you Rich and Shelby!! Less

I could go on and on about how wonderful my experience with Arizona Elopement Collective was but I'll do my best to summarize it ;) I am a wedding planner in Austin Texas and I also manage two venues. My now husband and I have 3 dogs that are basically our children, so having them be there with us as well as being outdoors, was extremely important to us. Jake and I met in Arizona 11 years ago and we also got engaged in Arizona at Havasupai Falls so when we were looking for places to get married, anywhere else besides Arizona seemed silly. I looked into multiple elopement companies, I even was going to reach out to wedding planners in Arizona. But as someone who does all of this for a living, I didn't want to have to worry about trying to find the best vendors when I had no idea where to even start. When I had reached out to other elopement companies, I found that a majority of them were only offering photography sessions, but as I am well aware, a wedding is so much more than just the photos. I was really impressed with their website as well as how they mentioned that they wanted to make sure there was an alignment between both parties. That is something that really resonated with me as I handle my business that way as well. We clicked with Rich instantly and without any hesitation, booked them. Our zoom sessions with Rich always went longer than planned because we had so much fun chatting with him. I felt completely taken care of, no stress at all. We opted for the combo package (where the ceremony site was easy for our friends and family to get to but then we went off and took those insane adventure photos!) - this was the best of both worlds and worked out PERFECTLY for us. I just love that they have different areas of Sedona and the desert for you to choose from based on what is important to you. When the weekend finally was here, it was everything I wanted and then some. Rich and Shelby are beyond sweet. And if you are lucky enough to meet their dog Doug, you are in for a treat because he is a gem. The makeup artist they hired for me, her and I chatted like we were long lost friends. And our photographer, Sydney, was honestly the best. Not only are our photographs stunning, we had so much fun with her. She drove us up to the top in our jeep and we just laughed the whole time. The smiles in our photos are genuine because of how stress free the entire day was but also because of the vendors we had with us. If you are thinking of hiring Arizona Elopement Collective, do not hesitate and seriously, do it. My entire business is based around larger weddings and even I chose to elope and it was the best decision I made. So many people that know me through the event industry in Austin, said that this wedding was exactly me & us! And that's the biggest and best advice I can give to anyone, is make sure your wedding is about you and who you are as a couple! Rich and Shelby made sure to remind us of that as well and we had the best day we could have ever hoped for. Less

My breath is taken away when trying to find the words to describe the most magical day of our lives. If you have thought about eloping just say YES! Without a doubt, with no hesitation say YES! Rich and Shelby and their team far surpassed our dreams for our wedding day. We opted to be very little involved in the process and there was no detail untouched. Eloping gave us the space to truly be present in the moment. It was for us and no one else and we have zero regrets! Less
