Elopements and Simple Ceremonies

Perhaps you wish to elope or desire a very simple civil or commitment ceremony. Perhaps you simply wish to exchange vows with your beloved with few or no guests. Perhaps you desire a simple ceremony with your wedding license signed by an ordained minister. I would be honored to perform this ceremony for you.

I charge a fee of $150 to deliver a simple ceremony and then sign your marriage license. My fee rises gently to accomodate travel beyond Coeur d'Alene and throughout the Inland Northwest.

In Idaho, there is no waiting period, so you can file for your marriage license and I can perform your ceremony on the same day. We can chose a nice outdoor location overlooking Lake Coeur d'Alene and you can be married in a matter of minutes.

If you prefer something a bit more elegant, but still simple and inexpensive, I work with both the Blackwell Hotel and the Greenbriar Inn in Coeur d'Alene. Both establishments are wonderful venues with world-class hospitality that offer elopement packages and romantic overnight accomodations.
