Elopement Ceremonies

Elope:  to get married on short notice, with little or no prior planning involved.

[Please note that an elopement is not the same as a simple ceremony.]

I can help!  Here are the steps to a no-fuss elopement:

1.  Have a valid New York State marriage license (for information on how to obtain one, visit http://www.health.state.ny.us/vital_records/married.htm).

2.  Call me at 518.522.3394 to arrange the date and time, and we will discuss the fee..

3.  Dress in jeans and t-shirts, khakis and a sundress, get dressed up...whatever your heart desires.  Bring two witnesses (over age 18), the rings, and a camera.

4.  I will marry you at a public location, such as a park, museum, or restaurant in a short (5-10 minute) civil ceremony for a flat fee (to be paid before the ceremony; cash only). 

If you'd prefer something a little nicer, call Angela Vecchio at The Desmond (518-640-6180 or email avecchio@desmondhotels.com) and ask to rent the gazebo area in the courtyard--I just did a ceremony there and it was very nice at a very reasonable price. 

Note that an additional fee may be added for travel to more than a 20-mile radius from zip code 12306.

5.  Go out and celebrate with your friends, or go away for the weekend, or just stay home for a quiet dinner.  I will take care of filing the marriage license with the appropriate authorities.
