Dreaming of a romantic wedding day without the stress of guest lists, seating charts, and sky-high expenses? At Hawk Valley Retreat & Cottages, we specialize in intimate, stress-free elopements that are as beautiful as they are easy. Nestled in the peaceful countryside just outside historic Galena, IL, our elopement package allows you and your fiancé to focus on what truly matters—each other. As we like to say, “You bring the dress, we do the rest.”
Stress-Free Elopement Package
This thoughtfully curated elopement package takes all the pressure off your shoulders, so you can soak up every moment of your special day. Whether you’re saying “I do” in our rustic outdoor arbor under our willow tree, in our gazebo, or in our renovated event barn, we’ll make sure your ceremony is meaningful, personal, and picture-perfect.
Our all-inclusive elopement package includes:
A licensed officiant to lead your ceremony. We work with you to create the ceremony that you want. Check out our blog post on seven ways to enhance your ceremony.
A beautiful 2-tiered wedding cake to celebrate your first sweet moments as newlyweds. We custom-make each cake with a choice of flavors, fillings, and decorations.
A hand-crafted wedding bouquet and boutonniere. No need to hire a florist, we work with you to create a one-of-a-kind floral statement, often with flowers we grow ourselves.
Digital wedding photos taken by us to capture every heartfelt detail from getting ready, to the ceremony, to pictures around our scenic property.
Let Hawk Valley Retreat & Cottages make your elopement both beautiful and affordable. Say goodbye to the stress of planning a big event and hello to the joy of an intimate celebration designed just for two.
