Love finds its purest expression in the moments that matter most. At Henness House, we've created a space where your elopement unfolds with effortless grace against Yosemite's breathtaking backdrop.

  • Once we approve your request, reserve your dates by making your payment. If you plan on working with any vendors, you now can begin in earnest.

  • Arrive and DIY your elopement with your chosen vendors, friends and family.
