FAQs.
Do we need witnesses for our Tennessee elopement?
To make your Tennessee elopement legal, you must obtain a marriage license from a county clerk's office in the state. You and your partner need to provide valid identification and pay the license fee. A witness must be present at the ceremony to sign the license. After the ceremony, the completed license must be returned to the clerk's office for registration.
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.
