5-10 minute Elopement Ceremony with Basic Customization
The Elopement Ceremony is based on a professionally-written script, with a handful of options to match your preferences. After booking your service, we will reach out to collect the basic information we will need to make the essential adjustments to the script. You will have the opportunity to decide whether you’d like to write your own vows or use traditional ones. Once you have sent back your selections, you’re all set. You can expect to have a beautiful, simple ceremony that will last between 5 and 10 minutes.
Authorized Professional Officiant Assigned by Availability
Once you book your Elopement Ceremony package, we will ensure that we have one of our professional officiants reserved for your wedding date. Your specific officiant will be assigned 30 days before your ceremony. On your big day, your officiant will arrive no later than 10 minutes before your start time and will skillfully perform your elopement.
Our officiants are all experienced professionals who are legally authorized to perform marriages in the areas they serve. After your ceremony your officiant will sign and submit any necessary licenses and forms to the appropriate city or county office.
Award-Winning Concierge Support
Our dedicated office team is here to support you every step of the way, providing expert guidance, quick responses, and stress-free coordination throughout the entire process.
Emergency Backup
With Ceremony Officiants, you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing we maintain a 24-hour hotline and emergency backup system to guarantee you get the ceremony you deserve.
Travel up to 20 miles
Our Pittsburgh Elopement packages are available for elopements taking place within 20 miles of downtown Pittsburgh. We may be able to accommodate further travel for an additional fee.
1 hr. Professional Photography (B or C Package ONLY)
Pittsburgh Elopement Packages “B” and “C” both include a one-hour, single-location shoot with a professional wedding photographer. The hour of photography begins with your ceremony, after which you are free to work with the photographer to take additional portraits, family photos, and more. The unedited photos will be delivered to you digitally within two weeks (normally much sooner), and you retain license to print and share the images as you wish. Additional photography time, additional photography locations, physical photo albums, and photo retouching/editing are also available for an additional fee.
Professional Hair & Make-Up Services (C Package ONLY)
Elopement Package “C” includes on-site hair and makeup for one person, which can be performed at any location within 20 miles of downtown Pittsburgh. Many couples choose to have the hair and makeup artist perform the services at their hotel or home a few hours prior to the ceremony. Hair and Makeup services for more than one person are available for an additional fee.
Professional Floral Design (C Package ONLY)
Elopement Package “C” also includes one bouquet and one boutonniere from a professional wedding floral designer, as well as delivery to any location within 20 miles of downtown Pittsburgh. Bouquet and boutonniere options can be selected from our floral “look book” and custom/off-season flowers are also available for an additional fee.
How it Works:
1
Get A Quote
Once you click the “Get A Quote” button we will email you with an exact price quote for your ceremony. Most couples pay our “Starts at” price – which you can find by entering your location on our PRICING page – but any additional fees for mileage, holidays, or for a particular officiant will be included in the price quote we send to you.
When you are ready to book, you’ll sign a digital contract and submit full payment to reserve your date. We’ll send you a confirmation email with all the details to prepare for your ceremony. Once you reply, we’ll take care of the rest! Your specific officiant will be assigned 30 days prior to your wedding.

Get Married!
Today’s the day! Relax and be in your moment knowing your professional officiant will handle everything. Your officiant will arrive no less than 10 minutes beforehand to officiate your elopement. After your ceremony, they will sign and submit any necessary legal paperwork to the appropriate city or county office to finalize your marriage.
*** PLEASE NOTE ***: Pennsylvania law requires that both parties must appear in person to apply for a marriage license, then wait at least 3 days before picking up the license and getting married. This means that if you are getting married on a weekend and are traveling to Pittsburgh to be married, you will need to arrive and visit the Marriage License office on or before the Tuesday prior to your elopement in order to have enough time to pick up your license by Friday that same week. If these restrictions will be a problem for you, we recommend considering our sister company Online Marriage, which allows you to apply for a marriage license and be married completely online in less than 3 business days. We can then do the legal portion online and still do the in-person Elopement Package in Pittsburgh.
“Our elopement package was absolutely perfect and we are so thankful! Nicole, our elopement concierge, was extremely easy to work with and kept everything simple, organized, and on task, reducing the stress! Rev. Lisa Ann and our photographer Christina created the most magical setting for our ceremony. Rev. Lisa Ann delivered a meaningful message we will truly cherish for all of our days. Christina’s ability to capture the day and her fabulous ideas truly represent us and our love in our photographs. We can never thank you all enough!”
