Elopement Officiant in Middlesex County, NJ

Helping couples get married across Middlesex County without confusion.

TEXT TO CHECK AVAILIBITY

Middlesex County is one of New Jersey’s largest and most geographically spread-out counties, which means elopement planning here often benefits from clear guidance and local experience.

I’m Aretha Gaskin, a professional New Jersey elopement officiant who works with couples throughout Middlesex County, including private venues like Chateau Grande in East Brunswick, where couples want an intimate ceremony without the scale of a traditional wedding.

Many Middlesex County elopements involve coordinating around work schedules, travel, or municipal requirements that vary by location.

My role is to keep the process straightforward and ensure everything is handled properly from start to finish.

Serving Couples Throughout Middlesex County

I officiate elopements throughout Middlesex County, including New Brunswick, Edison, Woodbridge, East Brunswick, Piscataway, Sayreville, and surrounding municipalities.

Because marriage license procedures can differ depending on where your license is issued, having an officiant familiar with multiple towns helps avoid delays and missteps.
