FAQs.
Do we need witnesses for our Virginia elopement?
To legally elope in Virginia, you must obtain a marriage license from any Virginia county clerk's office. While the process is relatively simple, it requires both partners to present valid ID, pay the license fee, and have at least one adult witness present during the ceremony. The license is valid for 60 days from the issue date, allowing you ample time to plan and enjoy your elopement day.
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.
