About

The concept was dreamed up by Michelle Chan of Eternity Moments and Lisa Lee-Truong of Shing Weddings in 2019 when they realized that the costs, stress and customs of the traditional wedding is not meant for everyone

Leveraging their industry expertise and experience, Elope with Us has the ability to offer couples a luxurious celebration alternative to traditional high-cost weddings.

Elope with Us takes great pride in partnering with what they consider to be Vancouver's leading wedding vendors, which include John Bello Photographer, Denise Lin Photography, Faye Smith Agency, The Cake & The Giraffe.

This Website needs to allow me to be able to give 6 stars out of 5.

As said in my title above. Wedding Wire needs to change their website to give an above and beyond extra star. Fix this Wedding Wire. Please. Our experience with Elope with Us was out of this world. We couldn't have asked for a better and effective team and found ourselves both laughing at the end of the night on how perfect and seemless the entire wedding went. If a Stampede of Animals from Jumanji appeared and started to charge at our wedding, Elope with us would have handled it. From last minute changes to instant communications with issues. Nothing went unturned the Elope with us team.

No better team than Elope with Us

Elope with Us is the best investment for yourself when planning a wedding! We were initially daunted by all the decisions that were on the horizon but with Lisa and Michelle’s guidance, the entire process was easy to manage and stress-free. They give friendly and actionable recommendations while considering your needs and constraints, approaching everything with humour, grace, and genuine care.

On the day of, the Elope with Us team was phenomenal. We felt like a million bucks because everything Lisa and Michelle do is about putting the couple first. Every detail was accounted for, even the ones we never thought about. We got to be present for every moment of the day without worrying about what needed to happen next because they were always three steps ahead.

They made the (very wise) decision to have our ceremony indoors as it began to drizzle. They made sure our senior family members had hot tea all evening. They helped us take film photos when they saw our disposable cameras going unused. They sent thank-you emails to every vendor on our behalf before we even woke up the next day. They truly go above and beyond.

Every business in the service industry could learn a thing or two from Lisa and Michelle. If you want your next milestone event to land perfectly, they are the boss ladies who can make it happen!! Thank you so much!

The perfect choice for us!

You're probably reading this review because you're uncertain if "Elope with Us" is a good idea or not. Well, we're going to say it was definitely one our best decisions ever made. I also would recommend Denise to be your photographer!

We were engaged in early April and unsure with the pandemic when or how we would plan our wedding. We thought about waiting to see how things panned out in the next couple of years, but then realized that there was no point in waiting. We decided to elope and with the help of "Elope with Us", we were able to celebrate our love with our most closest family and friends by our side.

Michelle's number was easily found on their website; we called her immediately after our decision to elope was made. She was so warm, so inviting and so helpful! Her partner Lisa also helped us with every detail and coordinated our day perfectly. They made us feel so special and we are so grateful to have them be apart of our day.

Denise was our photographer. The chemistry she had with us was amazing. We felt very comfortable even though we are usually camera shy. She was able to direct us and capture so many beautiful moments for us.

What we love best about their package is that we did not have to stress at all! Everything was planned very well, and the communication was flawless.

It was magical day for us and more than we had expected.

Thank you so much Michelle & Lisa and to all your partners & vendors

Amazing Wedding Organizers. Leave it to them to make your day go perfectly.

Lisa and Michelle are one of a kind. Their attention to detail, their warmth, and their energy are all things I will never forget about them. They gave my wife and I a wedding experience that was above and beyond what we were expecting. You guys are amazing. Thank you!

Simply the best

Lisa and Michelle with Elope with Us were incredible. We are both not very outgoing (we don’t use Instagram) so we had no idea so many things needed to be done! Luckily, we had these amazing guides that gave us step-by-step instructions and helped us along the entire journey. The flowers, décor, venue, music, and everything else was perfect in the end!

The people we worked with were all excellent. Linda Cohen was our officiant and she was very fun and kept the mood light-hearted, and the staff at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver were pleasant as well. And of course, Denise Lin, our photographer, provided us with amazing photos mere days after the event.

But what made them go above and beyond was the fact that because of some COVID exposures, we were forced to reschedule only a few days before our planned date. Lisa and Michelle worked extra hard to accommodate the change and coordinate with all the vendors. I can’t thank them enough!

Seriously, if you have no idea what you’re doing, or you do know but you want someone to put it all together, you have to choose Elope with Us. I still don’t know what happened but I do know it was beautiful and perfect!

Amazing !!

Simply put- Lisa and Michelle are two little wedding fairy godmothers. ❤️
We were a bit nervous planning a wedding during a pandemic, however, everything from initial contact to the end of the wedding was easy because these two were always 2 steps ahead.
They replied to my millions of questions quickly, were insanely organized and on top of all the ever changing covid restrictions.
As if the above wasn’t enough- the day of the ceremony, Lisa and Michelle created a calm & relaxing atmosphere and surprised us all by interacting with my family in Cantonese which my parents are still praising!!
We highly recommend Elope with Us!!!

Wonderful experience!

Michelle, Lisa, and Nancy helped me create the most perfect wedding! They were so professional and they took care of every details (the guests, timeline, first look, vendors). The bouquet was beautiful and dreamy created by Lisa. They took bts pictures as well, super helpful if you want to see some pictures from your wedding day on the same day. Special shout-out to Nancy too, for helping me carrying my dress all day. It was a stress free wedding for us, especially for me as a bride. We were able to enjoy the moment. Our guests had a blast. Thank you, Elope with Us!

Michelle and Lisa were professional, detailed and organized, helpful, and most importantly made our day so easy from the start of the process until we left our venue.

The Perfect Duo!

After a lot of lengthy discussions, my husband and I made the final decision to move our wedding date forward and elope on our 9th year anniversary. We had originally been planning a June 2021 wedding; however, with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the growing amount of cases in BC, the future became more and more unpredictable for the both of us. Rather than wait to see what the future had in store for us (and potentially place deposits we may lose), we decided to elope with our immediate family in secret. We literally had less than 2 months to quickly get everything we needed to pull this off and we honestly could not have done it without Michelle and Lisa at Elope With Us! It started off as a suggested Instagram page based on who we were currently following. Elope With Us stood out to us as they were offering the perfect elopement package with most of the venues we had been considering. There wasn’t much time for us to consider all options so we both took this as a sign and reached out to Michelle and Lisa regarding our elopement. Quite honestly, it was the best decision we made!

It never takes long at all for either Michelle or Lisa to contact us back. They are so detailed, so knowledgeable, and so organized. They answered all of our questions fully and left no room for any feelings of uncertainty. Although they offered a curated package with photography, videography, hair and makeup, arrangements and decor, florals, and even cake options to choose from, they were so accommodating with us as we already had a team in mind for a majority of the services they offered. They communicated so well with us throughout the entire planning process and were completely transparent with us in all of it.

On our big day, Michelle and Lisa came and left with us with a lasting impression of them. They were so detailed, so efficient, so organized, and so quick that by the time either of us had time to process what was happening, our rooms were already staged and ready for our photographer and videographer who hadn’t yet arrived! It all happened in a blink of an eye. We were honestly in so much awe of Michelle and Lisa. With them there, there was not a single moment where my husband and I worried about anything except for ourselves. The thought of our families knowing where to go, where to sit, what to do, etc. never crossed our mind once because we knew that Michelle and Lisa had it all handled. Our ceremonies were perfect. Even our family photos were coordinated so well that we had extra time for additional groupings for photos. We were never behind or stressed about time and that wouldn’t have been possible without Michelle and Lisa. Their attention to detail and their efficiency are completely unmatched. They both genuinely care so much about their couples and that really translates in everything that they did for us.

Thank you, Michelle and Lisa, for everything that you both did for Deion and I. We are honestly so blessed to have crossed paths with you both when we did and we couldn’t be happier with the choice we made in hiring you both!
