Elopements are typically small, intimate weddings including the couple, the officiant and sometimes a small gathering of close friends and family members. There is generally no rehearsal. Elopements, also known as micro-weddings, have the advantage that not much space is needed. In fact, almost any lovely spot will do. I have officiated at micro-weddings in private homes, in parks, at vineyards, on the Grounds at UVA, at beaches, beside the canal in Richmond, and at guest houses, hotels, bed and breakfasts, and air B&B’s. I also marry couples in my backyard. Of course, small weddings are not as expensive as weddings–a definite plus if you are on a budget.
If you want to marry midweek, I can be available for a small wedding on short notice.
I have officiated at many elopements and small weddings. I enjoy serving the needs and desires of engaged couples whatever their preferences.
