FAQs.
Do we need witnesses for our Maine elopement?
To make your Maine elopement legal, you must obtain a marriage license from any Maine town clerk's office. Both partners must appear in person with valid ID, pay the license fee, and sign the application. After your ceremony, your officiant, both partners, and at least two witnesses must sign the marriage license for it to be legally recognized. Your completed license should be returned to the issuing clerk's office for official 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.
