White Haven : Elopements Elevated

At White Haven, our mission is to create a sacred, stylish space for couples to celebrate their love — without the pressure, overwhelm, or expense of a traditional wedding. We believe that small weddings can still be breathtaking, deeply meaningful, and beautifully curated.

Couples today are craving intimacy, simplicity, and authenticity — yet the wedding industry continues to push extravagance and crowd-based celebration. Many brides feel they have only two options: a courthouse or a massive event. We're solving for the "in-between" bride — the one who wants a stunning, personal, Instagram-worthy experience without spending $30,000+.

The micro-wedding and elopement market is booming. In 2023 alone, over 1.9 million couples chose to forgo the big wedding in favor of smaller celebrations. The U.S. elopement market is estimated to exceed $2.5 billion, and it's only growing as couples prioritize intentional experiences over tradition. White Haven is perfectly positioned to meet this demand in Abilene, Texas and surrounding regions — with future potential to expand into multiple locations or franchise offerings.

White Haven is a boutique greenhouse wedding venue nestled on a private, tree-covered acre in Texas. The venue features a stunning 820 sq ft white glass structure with French doors, romantic florals, curated furniture, and options for champagne toasts, cake tables, and professional photography. It provides an affordable luxury experience for up to 25 guests — eliminating stress, vendor overload, and cost anxiety. It’s designed for the bride who wants “less guests, more meaning.”

We are seeking $150,000 in total funding to bring White Haven to life from the ground up. Your support will help us:

• Purchase and prepare the land

• Construct the custom white greenhouse (our signature venue)

• Build the limestone entrance and wood perimeter fence

• Install gravel parking, flagstone paths, and foundational landscaping

• Purchase starter furnishings, floral installations, and essential décor

• Cover licensing, insurance, and legal setup

This funding unlocks every element needed to open our doors and begin serving brides by fall 2025.

White Haven is led by Britni, a seasoned wedding photographer and creative entrepreneur with a passion for beautifully intentional design. After years capturing love stories behind the camera, she saw a need in the market — and knew she had to build what didn’t exist. With support from local contractors, designers, and a business mentor, Britni is turning her vision into an experience that will serve couples for years to come.

Whether you give $25 or $2,500 — you’re helping build more than a venue. You’re creating a space where real love stories begin. Every backer will receive exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes pictures and videos, and sneak peeks as we bring White Haven to life.

💌 Thank you for believing in us. Your support doesn’t just build a structure — it builds a place where love will be remembered forever.
