“Every detail was planned and graciously choregraphed.
Alisa has a gift beyond the physical realm of weddings and this peace can only be described as magical.”
Intimate weddings and elopements in the Pocono Mountains.
Promise Ridge is a private ceremony space at the edge of a ridge in the Pocono Mountains, surrounded by mature forest and overlooking the Appalachian Trail ridge.
Located on the property of resident gardener and celebrant Alisa Tongg, Promise Ridge offers deeply personal ceremonies for two, or intimate gatherings of up to 20 people.
A beautiful place to tie your story to.
Elopements, Microweddings + Vow Renewals
Come with just the two of you, or bring up to 18 of your favorite people.
Every Promise Ridge experience includes 90 minutes here, with time for photographs, a personal ceremony created and performed by Alisa, and group photographs afterward.
For couples who want to linger a little longer, the experience can be extended with additions like a first dance, cake and champagne, sparklers, or a family-style dinner.
Ceremonies take place outdoors from May through October. Seating is provided on the Infinity Deck, and for couples getting legally married, Alisa takes care of filing your valid Pennsylvania marriage license.
One of the World's Best Places to Elope
Couples have called Promise Ridge a “hidden elegant gem,” “breathtaking,” “magical,” “whimsical” and “ethereal.”
They’ve described arriving here as “walking into another world” and being here as “receiving a hug from a tree inside of a cloud.”
But some of the loveliest things people say aren’t about how Promise Ridge looks. They’re about how it feels to be here.
“She made sure that we felt special and loved.”
“She ensured that everything flowed effortlessly, allowing us to take it all in without any worries or distractions.”
“Alisa made us feel comfortable and at ease every step of the way.”
“We both felt so held and known.”
And the people who come along feel it, too
Family members have called ceremonies here “the most unique and beautiful wedding ceremony that they have seen.”
Perhaps the best compliment of all is one we hear again and again:
“Pictures cannot even capture the true beauty and magic of Promise Ridge.”
What are you imagining?
Promise Ridge is a small, private place with a limited number of weddings welcomed each season.
If being married here feels right for the two of you, share a little about yourselves and what you’re imagining.
