FAQs.
Do we need witnesses for our New Jersey elopement?
In order to make your New Jersey elopement legal, you must obtain a marriage license from the local registrar's office in the county where you plan to marry. Both partners must appear in person to apply for the license, provide valid identification, and pay the application fee. Once you have received the marriage license, you can proceed with your ceremony, which must be officiated by an authorized individual in the state.
What if we decide that we want more guests?
In that case, you'll contact your dedicated planner as soon as possible and let them know. If you just want to bring 1-2 additional guests, most venues will be able to accommodate that. If you're interested in a significantly larger wedding, you may have to change venues.
