Hunterdon County Elopement Officiant
Private ceremonies, witnesses provided, and same-day marriage certificate support available.
If you’re planning a private elopement in Hunterdon County and want it done quietly, correctly, and without unnecessary steps, I can help.
I officiate intimate elopements throughout Hunterdon County for couples who value privacy, discretion, and a smooth legal process, whether you’re planning something last-minute or intentionally keeping things small.
I regularly marry couples in scenic, low-key locations across the county, including places like the Hunterdon Arboretum in Lebanon, as well as private properties and quiet outdoor settings.
My role is to guide you through the legal requirements, deliver meaningful vows, and ensure your paperwork is handled properly from start to finish.
Hunterdon County Elopement Services
I offer two streamlined options depending on how you’d like to get married.
Elopement #1
Marriage License Signing + Vows: $495
This option is designed for couples who want to be legally married without a full ceremony, while still honoring the moment.
This Includes:
Legal signing of your New Jersey marriage license
Vows included (I can prepare meaningful vows, or you may write your own)
Prompt processing of your marriage license
Ability to receive your Certified Marriage Certificate the same day, when applicable
Witnesses available and provided if needed ($50 per witness)
This is not a traditional ceremony. It is a legal marriage signing ideal for private, last-minute, or no-guest elopements.
Elopement #2
Private Elopement Ceremony: $900
This option is best for couples who want a short, intentional ceremony in a private or scenic Hunterdon County location.
This Includes:
A brief, meaningful elopement ceremony
Personalized vows
Legal marriage officiation and paperwork handling
Prompt license processing
Ability to receive your Certified Marriage Certificate the same day, when applicable
Witnesses available and provided if needed ($50 per witness)
This option allows for a more traditional elopement experience while keeping things intimate and uncomplicated.
Witnesses Provided (When You Need Them)
New Jersey requires:
One witness when applying for your marriage license
Two witnesses on your elopement day
If you do not have witnesses, or prefer to keep your elopement completely private, I can provide witnesses for both the license application and the elopement itself.
Witnesses are available at $50 per witness and are arranged in advance as part of your booking. This is especially helpful for out-of-town couples or those who do not want family or friends present.
Same-Day Certified Marriage Certificate
Many couples are not aware that it may be possible to receive a Certified Marriage Certificate on the same day they get married.
I handle your paperwork carefully and promptly, which is particularly helpful for couples who need their certificate quickly for:
Immigration
Benefits
Name changes
Legal documentation
If this is important to you, we’ll discuss eligibility and timing in advance.
