So you want to elope at Lula Lake? Here's everything you need to know! |
|
For the first time, Lula Lake is offering an exclusive opportunity for you and your significant other to use our Core Preserve for small, no impact elopement ceremonies!
What's a no impact elopement ceremony? This type of elopement keeps the hard work of conservation in mind. By having a no impact elopement ceremony, you're having a small gathering (10 people or less, including you, your spouse, your officiant, and guests)that won't impact the land. Anything you bring must be lightweight and removed afterward. A full list of guidelines and elopement locations are listed below. What does it cost? It's a minimum, tax-deductible donation of $1,000 for the use of Lula Lake's Core Preserve on a weekday ($1,500 on a weekend) PLUS your elopement package selection from one of our Preferred Photographers listed below. Lula Lake Retainer of 30% (non-refundable) due when booking through your photographer. Full payment due 7 days prior to date, and no refunds if canceled during that last week.
Please review our guidelines on this page, which protect the wildlife and vegetation of Lula Lake. How do I book my special day? Simply contact one of our Preferred Photographers listed below for information on their elopement package (which includes the base donation). Further questions? Inquires can be submitted to our Lula Lake Land Trust’s Director of Development, Matthew Hubbard, by using the contact form below or reaching out by email (matthew@lulalake.org) or phone (706-820-0520; extension 1). |
