Elope in St Louis - Frequently Asked Questions
What is your price?
The Simple Elopement is based on distance from my home and averages $140 to $300.
The Deluxe Elopement Package starts at $600 and includes officiant, flowers and a professional wedding photographer.
How many guests can I have?
An elopement is very, very small - up to 10 guests is ideal.
If you have more than 15 guests, then it is considered an intimate wedding and involves more planning on your part.
Pop-up Weddings are very popular and I perform them often as well as Minimonies and Microweddings.
Do we need witnesses to get married?
In Missouri or in Illinois no witnesses are required - you can have a private ceremony!
How soon can I book an elopement?

Requires a 3-day notice and payment is due upfront to hold the date.
