Elopement

We offer ceremonies through either a notary public or a non-denominational minister.

In Florida you can get married at the location of your choice – on the beach, in one of our beautiful parks, on a yacht or in your private villa.

THE NEW BRIDAL TREND: ELOPE!

PRE-MARRIAGE

Would you ever SECRETLY MARRY before your big day?

So often, big weddings themselves aren't about romance or love and making a commitment to the person you're going to be with for the rest of your life. They are about gifts, money and guests..

While coordinating a stressful wedding spontaneously elope during a weekend trip to Florida.

Do your private romantic thing, which you will not have to share with anybody barefoot on the beach.

An incredibly intimate feeling, a moment which will give your marriage a more special experience that is just about you, rather than everyone else.

No reason to call off your wedding! Toast with champagne! 

Go home and keep planning as if nothing had happened. Planning will be so much easier now because you are not trying to simultaneously organize a legal agreement, a
romantic commitment and your big day party.

Have your cake and eat it too!

Instead of choosing to elope versus a big to-do, opt to do both!

After all, every bride knows how easily wedding plans can spiral out of control, turning what's supposed to be the most wonderful day of your life into one that can be more about pleasing others than pleasing yourself. For some couples, especially those who are planning big weddings, secretly separating the commitment ceremony from the party can help manage the anxiety of both.

Even thought you walk down the aisle as a married woman, it still will be a magical moment. Despite what feels like a new idea, some brides discover that there are cultural precedents for their decision to go the pre-marriage route. Bride Stephanie Brungardt, in nod to her Irish heritage, based hers on "handfasting": an ancient pagan Irish commitment ceremony that traditionally takes place a year and one day before the actual wedding, with only the couple and a few witnesses.

And Joanne was thrilled when she stumbled across information about tenaim, a traditional Jewish engagement ceremony that "commits" the two families to each other, up to a year before a religious wedding. She incorporated tenaim rituals - such as breaking a cup on a stoop - into their pre-marriage ceremony. "It was fun, and it was serious," she says.

As Joanne says, "If we ever tell people about our secret wedding,
we can say we loved each other so much we got married twice!"
