One alpine lake: the Bachalpsee. A mountain cart ride down a rugged track at Grindelwald First. Vows among wildflower meadows overlooking the Bernese Alps. And, ultimately, an ending in a rainstorm. Two epic days celebrating Sarah + Morgan in Grindelwald, Switzerland.
Would you believe me if I said this was Plan B? The original plan had been to spend the night in a mountain hut, but when the forecast began calling for thundersnow followed by torrential rain, we knew we’d need to pivot. Thanks to Sarah + Morgan’s flexibility, and a little creativity, that’s exactly what we did, and the result was pure magic.
From start to finish, the adventure was a blast as we bonded over our shared love of nutrition, cooking and travel. Sarah + Morgan were easygoing and so comfortable being themselves that they simply radiated warmth.
I think it’s safe to say that, for all of us, one of the biggest highlights (outside of the breathtaking ceremony) was riding the mountain carts at Grindelwald First. For a few kilometers we zigzagged down the mountainside with sweeping views in every direction. The cow 💩 along the path felt a lot like the banana peels in Mario Kart, too.
While the scenery was, of course, spectacular, what truly made Sarah + Morgan’s elopement was the many small, heartfelt details they wove into the day. From the first look to exchanging gifts and reading letters from family and friends, to dancing among the wildflowers as the first drops of rain began to fall, every moment helped create an experience that was entirely their own.
Needless to say, this is one adventure we’ll never forget.
”Christine was the best vendor, hands down, that we worked with for our whole wedding ceremony and celebration. She was super organized, communicated well and often and made us feel very comfortable. She is one of those few people that have this personality trait that make you feel so important–whatever you are talking about. If you’ve met someone like this, you’d know what I mean. Scott was super great too as our videographer. He captured some really cool scenes and was on top of setting up and gave us some general tips and tricks to be aware of. Christine & Scott made a great team and really made our experience unforgettable. I remember getting to our ceremony location and realizing I never told them exactly what I wanted, but this scene was really it; they nailed it.”
