Creating a lifetime of memories
CARMEL, Calif., – First used in the 14th century, the word elope came from aloper, which meant to leap. While origins of elopement paint the term as something last-minute or secret, modern couples now see it a bit differently and favor less stress and less urgency, with more focus on a true celebration of love. Proving that an elopement can be synonymous with a “destination wedding”. Hyatt Carmel Highlands Inn offers special wedding and elopement packages that keep intimacy and romance in mind.
Designed for 2 to 20 people, the Highlands Elopement Package allows couples to exchange vows on a romantic gazebo overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Package includes:
- Wedding Changing Room (Makeup, Hair and First Look)
- White Folding Chairs and Cocktail Tables for your ceremony
- Site Fee (Monday-Thursdays) starting at $1,500, limited to 1.5 hours of event time
- Site Fee (Weekends) starting at $3,000, service charge and tax not included.
The special package is available to book for a weekend elopement (Fridays-Sundays) within 60 days of saying “I do.” There is not a restriction in booking a midweek elopement (Mondays-Thursdays).
Couples can elect to add the following:
- Additional Event Time: $500 per hour
- Officiant: $300 for Elopement Ceremonies
- Photographer: $650/1 hour, $1,200/2 hours
- Florals: $500 allowance, with choice of bouquet, boutonniere, or other floral decorations
Believing a Carmel Highlands wedding should be an extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime event, the Events Team takes great pride in handling the special details so couples can spend time on what’s most important – creating memories in a magnificent and romantic environment.
