We had a small ceremony at Stern Grove, and it was absolutely perfect! Carrie was our planner and helped us find great options for everything we needed—photos, video, florals, and officiants. We chose Dean was our officiant, and she was wonderful—highly recommend him! Overall, the experience eloping with this app was fantastic. It was super easy to use, and the whole process was transparent and stress-free.
A huge thank you to Cassi and Wedy for making our ceremony at Stern Grove so much easier to plan! They were super responsive and helped with everything. Carrie was incredibly patient and even stepped in to help with some family concerns when I was feeling overwhelmed. We’re so grateful to Wedy for making our redwoods wedding happen!
A massive thank-you to the Wedy team for making our elopement in the Redwoods unforgettable. Everything was so convenient and we really appreciated the flexibility with payments, and the variety in vendor options - especially for photographers, it was so hard making a decision because all of them were so good! We highly recommend using Wedy for your elopement.
