Your Love Story is Your Ceremony
ELOPEMENT OFFICIANT
Marriage License Signings, Elopements and Mini Weddings in Connecticut
Sometimes, you just want to get married! Whether you're looking for a quick meeting to sign your marriage license, a private ceremony for just the two of you, or a mini ceremony with a few guests, I'm your elopement officiant! I'm happy to work with you within your needs, schedule and budget.
​
Here are some options:
Marriage License Signings
A marriage license signing is not a formal ceremony. I will meet you at the town clerk's office, hear/witness your declaration of intent (your verbal wish to marry), sign your license and return it to the clerk, where you can obtain your certified copies.
​
Weekdays only, during town hall hours.

Elopements & Mini Weddings
An elopement is a private ceremony for just the couple and their officiant. A mini wedding is a simple ceremony, joined by guests or family. These often take place in private home, in backyards, lovely parks or favorite restaurants. They can be very intimate and special.
I will conduct a pre-written ceremony.​ A few personalizations may be added if you desire. You may exchange personal vows and rings. There are no additional elements in an elopement or mini wedding, like readings or unity ceremonies.
If you have questions about your upcoming elopement or mini wedding ceremony, please reach out anytime!
