We are so happy to have found Chanelle! She is truly amazing, and we could not have had a better experience navigating through the planning process of our elopement. She communicated with us every step of the way and was always one text away, willing to answer all of our questions. Chanelle exceeded our expectations with our ceremony, such a beautiful job, well done! Thank you, Chanelle!” – A&J – Eloped to Leavenworth (see photo above).
A Holiday Love Story in the Mountains
If the thought of a large, stressful wedding doesn’t resonate, but you still desire a ceremony that is intimate, deeply personal, and unforgettable, a Christmas Elopement in Leavenworth might be your perfect fit.
Leavenworth is pure magic during the holidays—the streets aglow with twinkling lights, snow dusting the Bavarian-style village, and the Cascade Mountains standing watch in timeless majesty. I love helping couples create their most sacred moment in this enchanting setting: the day you promise forever to each other.
What You’ll Experience
A Custom Ceremony, Just for You
Your vows deserve more than cookie-cutter words. I’ll craft a ceremony that reflects your love story, your values, and the promises you want to carry into your marriage. Every detail is designed to honor who you are as a couple and the life you’re beginning together.
A Christmas Elopement holds the Magic of the Season
Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by the glow of holiday lights, with the possibility of snowflakes falling softly around you. Or, perhaps you want something even more intimate like Dylan and Teish’s elopement ceremony – standing on the shore of Lake Wenatchee as the snow fell around them while they said their vows (see photo below). Perhaps, you desire an elopement ceremony inside, next to the crackling fire in your Air B&B with the Christmas Tree in the background. For me, creating that magical, seasonal atmosphere is part of making your wedding day unforgettable.
Support Beyond the Ceremony
Your marriage begins the moment you say your vows, but it flourishes in how you live them daily. That’s why I include Celebration Coaching for your first year of marriage—guidance, encouragement, and intentional moments to help you nurture your relationship as newlyweds. As your Celebrant for Life TM , the success of your marriage matters to me just as much as your wedding day does. That’s why my commitment extends beyond your ceremony.
When you book me as your Officiant, you gain a lifelong celebrant. I’ll support and honor your love through anniversaries, milestones, and the ‘Moments that Matter’. After the first year of marriage, I’ll be here to help you celebrate anniversaries, baby blessings, housewarmings, and more.
Why Choose a Christmas Elopement with Chanelle Carlin?
Because, like you, I believe your wedding should be more than “just married.” When you work with me, your ceremony:
- Honors your love story with reverence and joy
- Creates memories infused with the magic of the season
- Supports your marriage beyond the wedding day
This isn’t about checking a box on your to-do list—it’s about starting your married life with intention, love, and beauty.
We hired Chanelle to officiate our elopement and are glad we did. She was a huge help in stepping us through Washington marriage procedures and planning our elopement. The ceremony she crafted for us was thoughtful and perfect. Would highly recommend Chanelle as a Wedding/Elopement celebrant! ” – D&T – Eloped to Lake Wenatchee, Leavenworth (see photo above)
