Simple, Private and Easy.
The Elopement Garden
At FranMo Urban Farm we are the caretakers of a 120 year old Cedar Tree. It is recognized as a "Champion" by the Washington State Forestry Services. This makes us responsible for its health and wellbeing. As a "Champion" it is one of the largest species of its type in the entire State of Washington. The staging area for Elopements is set at the base of this stunning cedar tree surrounded by native Pacific Northwest plants.
"The Elopement Garden is a stunning and
picturesque place to have an intimate elopement."
To keep in the spirit of the Pacific Northwest and to honor this beautiful tree (and cover the cost of its care and maintenance) Certified Humanist Celebrant, Frank Harlan offers elopement weddings for all couples in our Elopement Garden. Since 2019, dozens of couples have gotten married in an intimate ceremony presided over by Frank. He is available for Elopement Weddings (by appointment) in the morning, afternoon, and early evening.
Couples can record your ceremony on your cell phone or Frank can assist you in streaming it live to your family and friends. Contact Frank for Date Availability.

"The difference between an Elopement Wedding and the E-Z Elope Civil Union is that E-Z Elope is like going to the courthouse, est. ceremony length is about 5 minutes. Whereas the Elopement Wedding is a more formal production that involves a bit of pre-production communications to create a personalized script and assist couples in writing their vows. Est. ceremony length 15-20 min."
