If you prefer an intimate, simpler wedding of less than 10 people,
we have options for you.
To elope is to “run away” and get married.
All the usual wedding and reception costs
and lengthy planning is exchanged for a more intimate event consisting of the bride and groom, officiant, the required two or three witnesses, and perhaps a few special guests.
Three Elopement Packages.
Package One -$60.00 cash on arrival.

Considering a bit more?
Flowers. You can make of day of it and purchase or create a beautiful bouquet and arrangement with in-season flowers from local grocers. If you go to a florist for loose flowers don’t mention "wedding" or "marriage" or the price may jump. (Rev. Dan has a few silk arrangements but no bouquet.)
Music can easily be added by bringing a CD or ‘jambox’ along. (Rev. Dan has a music system.)
Photos can easily be taken by anyone with a good 7-pixel or higher digital camera.
Video Have some one video your wedding and publish it on YouTube for friends!
Elopements are celebrated at Rev. Dan’s Cottage in Lafayette, indoor and/or back garden tent (weather permitting), weekends and after 6pm on weekdays.

Couple must obtain a Louisiana Marriage License and provide their own witnesses.
Offsite ceremonies require extra preparation and travel time and carry regular fees.
Let us know if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance.
