Yes!  We’re so happy you asked!  In South Carolina, we offer ceremonies in Aiken, North Augusta, and most surrounding areas.  In Georgia, we’re delighted to offer ceremonies in Augusta, but please keep in mind a travel fee will be needed for all ceremonies outside of Aiken city limits.  

Yes! We happily perform elopements and weddings on holidays — and we especially love the magic of Christmas elopements, the excitement of New Year’s Eve elopements, and the festive spirit of 4th of July elopements!  Whatever the holiday, we’ll make it unforgettable. 

 An elopement is simple, intimate, and often just the two of you (and maybe a witness or two). It’s about slipping away from the stress of big wedding planning and focusing purely on your love.

A micro‑wedding is a step up in size — still small and personal, but with a handful of your closest friends and family (usually 10–30 guests). It keeps the magic and intimacy of an elopement, but adds a little more celebration and room for extra touches.

Both are less-stress, heartfelt, and deeply meaningful.  It's totally up to you to decide how many loved ones you want standing by your side.

Absolutely.  You're welcome to bring your own photographer, have a family member capture the moment, or choose not to have photos at all.  We fully support whatever feels right to you.

Of course!  Your elopement should feel like you. If that means comfy clothes and keeping it just between the two of you — we love that!  Whether you're dressed to the nines or keeping it cozy, love is what makes it beautiful.
