What they have to say about their adventure
Where do we even begin?! Amber was phenomenal throughout the entire process, truly a lovely soul inside and out. She helped us plan every detail of our special day and even built an itinerary to accommodate some of our family who are less mobile so they would be able to join 🙂 If you are in need of an elopement planner, look no further, I assure you Amber is the best around. She replied to all of our emails the same day and provided an open schedule to book video calls to answer every question leading up to the big day, which really put us at ease.
I can only hope your elopement is as magical as ours was!
Reflections on the day
Kelly and Leah had always been drawn to the mountains. So, when the time came for them to elope, they knew they wanted to be surrounded by the grandeur of the Swiss Alps. They invited their closest family and friends to join them on this adventure and set their sights on the stunning town of Zermatt.
On the day of the elopement, Kelly and Leah led their loved ones up the most iconic train ride towards the Matterhorn. The group rode through forests and meadows, passing crystal-clear lakes and majestic waterfalls. The air was crisp and cool, and the views were breathtaking.
As they reached the summit, they found the perfect spot to exchange their vows. The Matterhorn towered over them, its snow-capped peak piercing the bright blue sky. The intimacy of the moment was amplified by the grandeur of the landscape, and everyone was moved to tears.
After the ceremony, they began the descent back down the mountain, feeling elated and invigorated. They stopped for a picnic lunch along the way, with views of the glaciers and the valleys below. As they reached the train station, they boarded the next train back to Zermatt, chatting and laughing about the incredible experience they had just shared.
As the train pulled into the station, the group disembarked and made their way to a local restaurant for a celebratory dinner. They toasted to the newlyweds, basking in the afterglow of the incredible day they had just shared.
As the night drew to a close, Kelly and Leah felt grateful for the love and support of their family and friends, and for the beauty and majesty of the mountains that had made their special day truly unforgettable.
Behind the scenes of their Matterhorn elopement
A short anecdote: We were all set, but a last-minute panic hit—none of the guests had bought their train tickets! A mad dash to the counter followed, and with seconds to spare, we made it on board. The rush of excitement set the perfect tone for the day!
