ELOPEMENT OFFICIANT

Elopements, Mini-Ceremonies & License Signings 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 us 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

​

Meet at Stratford Town Hall: $150

All other Connecticut Town Halls: $250, plus mileage. Inquire for quote.​​​​​
