Shared Wedding Adventures
The micro-wedding option is designed for groups who are comfortable moving together—by road, trail, or a mix of both—and who value shared adventure. Days are shaped around travel, simple gathering, and collective joy rather than formal programming. Your ceremony happens naturally within the flow of the experience. This approach works best for couples who care deeply about cultivating an unforgettable wedding that is as adventurous as their love.
While every Joyage is unique, below are four pillars that ground each experience
❋Logistics
From planning overlanding routes, to booking remote ski huts, hiring canyon guides, and an officiant, we’ve got you—holding the details so you don’t have to.
❋ Photography
Combining fine art portraiture, landscape and documentary photography, we’ll co-create beauty in portrait sessions as well the magical moments along your joyage
❋ Shelter and Sustenance
Shelter and sustenance are part of the plan—from vans and yurts to backcountry tents, and from simple, well-packed picnics to full beach barbecues—designed to match the pace and place of the experience.
❋ Florals
We coordinate florals that are appropriate for travel, weather, and setting, keeping things clean, durable, and grounded.
Starting at $9,450 for one day
This option is designed for couples who want to bring a small circle of people along—family, close friends, chosen community—and experience the wedding together rather than hosting an event for them. Pricing is based on a baseline group of 8 people and includes full-day photography and experience design, a shared food allowance scaled for the group, simple florals, and camper-van based and/or backcountry glamping, and on-site amenities.
For groups larger than 8, an additional $350 per person, per day applies, up to a maximum of 20 guests. This covers increased food costs, amenities, planning complexity, and the added care required to hold a larger group experience well.
Additional days, expanded scope, or specialized logistics are quoted based on the specifics of the experience.
Pricing is based on experiences in Oregon, Washington, and Northern California. Experiences elsewhere in the United States include a $1,000 travel fee, and international destinations include a $4,000 travel fee, reflecting the added time, airfare, and logistics involved in working beyond the region.
A note on customization: All pricing is a starting point. Final quotes reflect the length of the experience, guest count (if applicable), location, and any additional coordination such as guided experiences (i.e. white water rafting), permits, or specialized logistics (i.e. helicopters).
