Melissa and Robert married out at Matanuska Glacier with our completely unique elopement experience. Couple's who are considering an elopement, are already thinking outside-of-the-box, so why would we give you a generic elopement?
Many of the glacier packages that are available out there are just that. Many vendors believe that to reduce your stress with planning, what you need is an all-inclusive package.
We used to do this as well. But take it from us. When you take away options, you take away all the personalization and creativity. What you are left with is the same-old-same-old, but you don't get any of that with us!
We took an entire helicopter with just furniture, florals and decor out to create a gorgeous and very personalized experience just for Melissa and Robert. I hope you enjoy looking over these images, just keep in mind that this what this couple selected. With us, couples are given choices to have exactly what they want. It is about having time and space together in nature, but also having a celebration that still feels like a wedding.

Elopements are so special because you get to have fun, focus on the two of you, and set the pace for how you want the day to feel. For Melissa and Robert, they stayed at these beautiful cozy cabins with a stunning view overlooking the Matanuska Glacier.
They had breakfast together and then while Melissa did hair and make up, Robert dressed and headed out with Park Life Films to capture his handsome look.
Buttoning up all those tiny buttons!
The first look
The bridal bouquet had a little locket wrapped around the stem with a photo of the couple's little girl.
We took multiple helicopters out to the ice. While I worked on setting up the ceremony and mini-reception for two, the couple headed out with their photo and video team, along with an amazing guide to keep them safe and show them all the best spots.
They got amazing couple photos and then came back in time for a short, but heartfelt ceremony.
After a short ceremony right in front of this gorgeous glacial water fall, we popped some champagne and the couple toasted each other. They then moved over to this gorgeously styled wedding table for cake.
Melissa and I worked together to really capture her theme and style. Everything you see, we include in our design services. As long as we own the items, our clients may select from our decor to create their own unique look. I have also had clients mail us specific decor pieces, or upgrade to rent from other decor rental providers.
I hand painted the natural paper menus and created all of the floral pieces.

Then it was time to load back up and head back to base. The couple choose to stay overnight and did a glamping experience out on the ice!
Discover something different. Discover our unique process. If a big wedding isn't for you, then a cookie-cutter all-inclusive elopement that isn't tailored to you, shouldn't be for you either!
"It was the perfect day!"

MEET REBECCA
Hey there! I am Rebecca Kopperud, a born and bred Alaskan, as well as the owner and chief designer behind La Boum Events.
Are you thinking about eloping? Good! I think eloping is incredibly romantic and brave. It is throwing out the rule book, and putting the focus back on the two of you, where it belongs. Eloping is a movement that has been growing over the past few years. For many, it is a decision that corrects a host of issues presented by the wedding industry, and allows for a genuine celebration of a big life moment. As a wedding planner I don’t want to be a part of the problem, I want to be a part of the solution. And I want to support you.
I have been in business offering unique elopements in Alaska for years, long before it became popular. We have developed sought after industry connections, and a quality of service that is unsurpassed. You simply won’t find a one-size-fits-all elopement here. Everything truly is about you, and your special day.
We take on a limited amount of clients, so we can focus on personalization and quality. We offer a completely unique, unbundled experience so you can have exactly what you want and nothing you don’t. There is nothing cookie-cutter about what we do.
