We have some upgrade options for Spring Haven, each designed to enhance your elopement experience. Some of the upgrades are available to all packages, while others are targeted only to specific packages. Each of the contracts for the three elopement packages lists which upgrades are available and the cost of those upgrades. The information on this page is intended to explain the upgrades in more detail, and when appropriate, to feature photos of some of them. Upgrades may be selected when booking an elopement and they may also be added later.

Robe & Stole Upgrade - $25.00

Bubbles for Staged Exit - $25.00
Rich Events will provide individual vials of bubbles for guests to blow for a staged exit photo on the exterior of the mansion.

One processional song and one optional recessional song. Equipment provided and run by Rich Events. Couple may select one processional song and an optional recessional song, both of which must be available from iTunes/Apple Music.

If the couple does not submit a selection in time, Rich Events will provide a default selection for the processional song, and there will be no recessional song.
