This pre-written ceremony for weddings, vow renewals or gender-neutral commitment ceremonies offers your choice of religious or non-religious option.
The service lasts approximately 10-12 minutes and includes the following: opening words, statement of intention (the "I do's"), vows, an exchange of rings, the signing of the marriage license, blessing, pronouncement and a kiss!. Sometimes we are even able to perform these on the day that you call us. This option is suitable for couples who want something informal but do not want the "County Courthouse" environment. It can often be arranged on very short notice.
If you live in another part of the country and considering a brief ceremony followed by a honeymoon in one of the beautiful areas that we serve, then this ceremony option may be right for you.
Elopement Ceremony Includes:
Your choice of pre-written civil or nondenominational religious ceremony in a casual setting (no wedding party, processional, etc.)
Up to 15 guests
Performing of ceremony by one of Lyssabeth's wedding officiants
Arrival of officiant 10 minutes prior to start of ceremony

What's not included
The Elopement ceremony is an affordable and tasteful alternative to the County Courthouse wedding. It is designed for intimate, informal gatherings and is not meant for couples who want more formability than this ceremony allows (such as a processional, seated guests, a wedding party, more than 15 guests, etc.) If you are looking for those features at a still-affordable price, then we suggest our Basic Ceremony.
Pricing for the Elopement Ceremony begins at $175 and is determined by location, day of the week, number of guests and any customizing of the ceremony script that you might want.
