From Blooms to Bites: Local Magic Behind Our Elopement Experiences

The creative collaborations behind Gnarnia Craft Ceremony Co.’s one-of-a-kind adventure elopements

At Gnarnia Craft Ceremony Co., we believe that love should be celebrated with intention, beauty, and community. That’s why so many of our adventure elopements and micro weddings are built around more than just stunning scenery and stress-free ceremonies, they’re rooted in partnerships with passionate, local women-owned businesses who share our values and creative spirit.
When you choose Gnarnia, you’re not only creating a magical wedding day…you’re also uplifting a circle of talented women who pour heart and soul into every detail. Here’s a closer look at the collaborations that bring our ceremonies to life and the meaningful impact they have on your experience.

Fresh Baked Consulting: The Nest Adventure Wedding Menu

A Feast for the Senses, Curated for the Wild

Your wedding day should taste just as magical as it feels. Enter Fresh Baked Consulting, the culinary genius behind The Nest—our exclusive wedding menu collaboration.
From gourmet breakfast coolers to luxury picnic baskets and private chef dinners, Chef Jennifer creates meals that match the pace and personality of your day. Whether you’re feasting cliffside or toasting in a cozy cabin, these unforgettable meals are crafted with local ingredients and love.

Sunday Restoration

Tablescapes That Tell a Story

Partnering with Jacqueline Sunday of Sunday Restoration, we offer curated vintage tablescapes that add elegance and warmth to your elopement. Her heirloom-inspired pieces, timeless glassware, and custom colour palettes turn every meal into a styled moment that reflects your aesthetic and energy. Better yet? You can purchase the pieces after your celebration, taking home a physical keepsake of the day you said “I do.”

Fresh by Leanne

Wildly Romantic Bouquets from Garden to Hand

What if you could pick your own bouquet straight from the garden? At The Gardens of Gnarnia, we offer just that—and if something isn’t in bloom, we turn to our trusted floral partner Fresh by Leanne.
Together, we ensure every couple gets a bouquet (or boutonniere) that feels authentic, local, and deeply personal—crafted from blooms that tell your story, in the colours that reflect your love.

Art by Alex

Your Ceremony, Captured on Canvas

Photos are wonderful, but a painting? That’s forever. Our collaboration with artist Alexandra McLaughlin gives couples the option of having their elopement painted live, capturing the moment as it unfolds.
Whether it’s you standing on the rocks of Georgian Bay or exchanging vows under the trees, Alex paints with heart, creating a one-of-a-kind heirloom you’ll treasure for life.

Night Sniper Photography

The Second Shooter You Never See (But Will Never Forget)

Want your love story captured from a completely new perspective? Our collaboration with Night Sniper Photography brings cinematic drone footage, long-range telephoto shots, and even celestial night photography to your adventure elopement.
It’s like having a secret artist in the woods—capturing the emotion, scale, and beauty of your day without ever interrupting the moment.

The Honeymoon Express

Vintage Wedding Wardrobe Meets Lasting Romance

Why rent a dress when you can wear a love story? Our collaboration with The Honeymoon Express, curated by Alison, offers couples exclusive access to vintage attire, accessories, and even honeymoon looks.
With dreamy gowns, heirloom veils, statement pieces, and cozy post-wedding loungewear, you’ll step into your wedding day in true Gnarnia style—effortlessly iconic and full of heart.

Why These Collaborations Matter

When you choose Gnarnia, you’re choosing more than a wedding. You’re choosing:

  • Locally rooted experiences that support real women in your community
  • Meaningful moments shaped by artists, chefs, and creators who care
  • A wedding that feels like you—crafted with heart, creativity, and authenticity

We’re proud to work with women who inspire us every day. Their talents make our ceremonies richer, our meals more delicious, our spaces more beautiful, and our couples even more supported.

Let’s make something magical—together
