Elopement Packages & Tiny Weddings in Connecticut
Intimate. Meaningful. Stress-Free.
Not every couple wants a 200-person guest list and a year of planning. If you are looking for a more personal way to say “I Do,” an elopement or “tiny wedding” might be the perfect fit. Bryan Anderson, Justice of the Peace, specializes in creating beautiful, small-scale ceremonies that focus on what matters most: your commitment to each other.
Whether it’s just the two of you on the sand at Walnut Beach or a small gathering of 20 at your favorite Milford restaurant, Bryan provides the “safe pair of hands” you need to make it legal and unforgettable.
Our Intimate Mini Wedding Packages In CT
We offer flexible options designed for modern couples who want to keep things simple
- The "Sign & Go" (Legal Only): Perfect for couples who just need the paperwork handled professionally. We meet at a convenient location in Milford or the surrounding area, perform the required legal vows, and sign your license.
- The Private Elopement: A beautiful, short ceremony for just the two of you (and your two witnesses, if desired). We can suggest several scenic, "hidden gem" spots in CT for a private exchange of vows.
- The Micro-Wedding: Designed for groups of up to 25 guests. This package includes a personalized ceremony script, coordination with your small group, and a more formal processional.
- The "Vow Renewal" Mini-Ceremony: Celebrate your milestone anniversary with an intimate gathering to reaffirm your love.

Quick Guide to Eloping in Connecticut
Many couples choose to elope in CT because the process is straightforward and efficient. Here is what you need to know for 2026
- No Waiting Period: You can get married the same day you receive your license.
- 65-Day Validity: Your license is valid for 65 days from the date of issuance.
- Where to Apply: You must apply for your license in the town where the ceremony will take place.
- Witnesses: While many states require them, Connecticut law does not strictly require witnesses for a civil ceremony, allowing for a truly private experience between you and your officiant.
- Cost: The standard CT marriage license fee is $50, plus $20 for a certified copy (required for name changes).
Why Choose a "Tiny" Wedding?
A micro-wedding allows you to prioritize quality over quantity. You can invest more in a photographer you love, a world-class meal, or a dream honeymoon while keeping the ceremony itself intimate and relaxed.
Bryan is committed to ensuring that even the smallest ceremony feels monumental. We welcome all couples, including LGBTQ+ ceremonies and military elopements.
