Elopements

"Reverend Hunt officiated our wedding ceremony this past December and did a beautiful job. He really paid attention to who we were as individuals and as a couple and fully integrated our personal story to make a meaningful and unique ceremony. Our family is still talking about what a wonderful job he did. Thank you so much Reverend Hunt for making our day perfect!" - Jennifer & Robert, "Reverend Ron was wonderful, he spoke with us many times prior to our event. He took the time to get to know us and to see what we really valued as a couple. The custom ceremony he wrote for us was absolutely perfect, our family and friends were truly enjoyed it. Thank you so much Rev. Ron, we couldn't be happier" - Justin "Reverend Ron was absolutely perfect for us. Extremely flexible, I called him only several days before the ceremony. He really took the time to find out what we wanted which was hard for me to articulate, but he just knew what we needed. We had the ceremony in our back yard and he was wonderfully patient with our very pesky and large dogs, and very comfortable with our guests who loved him. I will highly recommend Rev. Ron for any ceremony!",

If budget or time is your primary concern, then eloping is for you! My lovely wedding chapel, Blessings, is the perfect place to tie the knot. Eloping doesn’t have to be like it is in the movies! Even with our smallest package, you can have four loved ones with you on your day, and “running away” to get married is completely optional. A New York elopement can be a truly special occasion and I would love to share this with you. Check out elopement packages below, and feel free to call us anytime if you are wondering how to elope, where to elope, or if eloping is the right choice for you.

Elopement packages are available at Blessings Chapel or Ron can come to you with a reasonable mileage charge.

Rated A Best Place to Elope by WheretoElope

Some great reasons to elope:

Focusing on what is most important: Your love for each other. You’ll minimize stress.
Time. Get your marriage license today, be married tomorrow. Boom!
Cost. Less than a used car payment
One stop shopping. Beautiful flowers, nice rings. Still less than your car lease payment.
Family angst. Overly dramatic family? Not at your elopement. They’ll get over it, and you will be married.
The band being late. We’ve got Bluetooth.
Not having to return silly wedding gifts. You’ll still get a couple, but far less wasted time.
Not stressing about bankrupting your friends into wearing one time dresses.
Keeping drunk driving down. You all have friends and relatives, who cannot control themselves at an open bar. It really put the damper on my wedding to arrange car rides for guests.
