FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO ELOPE + HOW DO WE LEGALLY ELOPE? APPLICATION Many US states require and application for a marriage license in person at a county clerk's office. DOCUMENTS For this you'll need as a valid driver's license, passport, or birth certificate. FEES The fee for getting a marriage license, depends on which state and county you're getting married in. WAITING PERIOD Some US states have a waiting period between when the license is issued and can range from 24 hours to several days or not at all! SELF-SOLEMNIZATION Some states like Pennsylvania and Colorado allow couples to officiate their own marriage without an officiant. WITNESS This varies from state to state. Most states require 2 witnesses but some don't require them. LICENSE REQUIREMENTS Marriage licenses are typically valid between 20 to 80 days, during which you will have your ceremony and then return the license to be recorded. + WHERE SHOULD WE CHOOSE TO ELOPE? The first thing I'll tell you to do is do this simple exercise of envisioning where you're standing to say your vows. Are you at the ocean, on top of a mountain, in the woods? From there you can decide which season you'd like to elope. New England has all 4 but Summer-Fall is the most popular! If you don't have a date set yet, that's ok! Most of my couples don't know their date yet when they inquire with me but we'll figure that out, don't worry! + DO WE NEED WITNESSES FOR OUR ELOPEMENT? This will depend on which state you're getting married in. Vermont + New Hampshire do not require witnesses while Maine requires at least 2. + WHAT GOES ON DURING AN ELOPEMENT? Elopements are very similar in structure to a wedding day but are looser! Your day could start out enjoying the morning, going on a walk and spending time together. From there you will get ready either together or separately depending on your preferences. From there you can choose to have a first look (or not!) and then you'll have your ceremony. If you're hiking, make sure to factor in hiking time into your day! After your ceremony and vows we'll dive into couples photos which typically happens around sunset or sunrise depending on your timeline. + DO WE NEED AN OFFICIANT? Yes!
