Brooke Silva

Founder/Co-Owner

Brooke Silva started Elope Flagstaff in January of 2023. She got the idea when planning her own wedding in Asheville, NC. which was performed by her long-time friend and founder of Elope Asheville, Jon-Paul Brown. She had such an awesome experience with the small, elopement style wedding that was low-budget and low-stress that she wanted to extend this same model to her hometown of Flagstaff, AZ.
