From planning every single detail to making sure everything goes off without a hitch, it can get overwhelming. Let the professionals at The Mission Chapel, Arizona take care of all your special details!
1. You Can Save For The Bigger Stuff
Our elopement packages are affordable so that you can save money to spend on other large-ticket items, like traveling the world for the honeymoon you’ve always wanted.

2. Budget-Friendly Wedding Packages
The Mission Chapel is a true hidden gem when it comes to finding the perfect place to elope in the US. There are very few places that offer similar savings along with ‘bang for your buck’ when it comes to your wedding day.
The perfect small ceremony is only $750 and includes 4 guests (in addition to the Bride and Groom). You can add photography for as little as $200.00 This may be one of the best deals in Arizona for a small wedding!
3. Truly lovely Photography
The rustic charm found at The Mission Chapel is unbeatable. It’s the place to go for stunning wild west vistas and simple western elegance. Finding fun photography for the off-beat and eclectic couple is no trouble at all.
4. There Is So Much To Do
A historic wild west wedding in Arizona is not just affordable and fun; it’s also a real adventure! With lots of things to do outside the wedding venue like hiking, shopping, and golf, this is the perfect place to elope – and to spend some special time as newlyweds.
5. Cross it off your bucket list
What’s on your bucket list? Taking a hot air balloon ride? Visiting a desert? Enjoy a unique wedding package that includes a stylish ceremony at sunset when you elope to The Mission Chapel. After your picturesque wedding, you can take flight on a hot air balloon ride and enjoy watching the myriad colors of the Sonoran desert sunset exploding across the sky as you sip champagne. There is truly no better way to elope. Having your wedding at the Mission Chapel will be an experience you will never forget.
6. Turn Your Wedding Into The Trip Of A Lifetime
While your wedding might be budget-friendly, your stay doesn’t have to be! With all the things to do and see in the Phoenix, Arizona area, there are also some fabulous places to turn up the romance after experiencing all of the outdoor adventures. Stay in a resort and spa for a blissful rest and some much-needed relaxation. Rent a four-star villa for some alone time with your new partner in, or choose something overlooking canyons for one killer view of the Arizona sunset.
There are as many reasons to elope in the Wild West as there are stars in the sky – which you can see better from Arizona because there’s so little light pollution. Have your wedding at the Mission Chapel and find out what makes this diamond sparkle.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always preserves. Love never fails. And now these three remain: Faith, Hope, and Love, but greatest of these, is Love.
