You don’t have to have a big wedding or a ceremony to get married. Eloping is a quiet, intimate choice about two people deciding that their commitment matters most. There are many reasons couples choose to elope instead of having a big wedding, but ultimately it’s an understanding that a marriage begins not with a performance but with a promise made simply and wholeheartedly.

We can meet at a park, your home, a coffee shop or restaurant. Lots of options!

All you need is your marriage license and 2 witnesses!
