Elopement Ceremony Script Guide
A guide to choosing the perfect ceremony for your formal elopement or small wedding.
This is for couples who have booked a wedding at their chosen location with Victoria. These are shorter ceremonies appropriate for smaller weddings.
If you have scheduled a wedding in our office, we will perform a non-religious, civil ceremony. We do not offer a ceremony script choice with our civil ceremony service performed in our office or outside on Monument Circle. Peter uses a short and sweet non-religious ceremony in our office. You can view that here.

What words speak to you?
I offer a wide selection of shorter elopement ceremonies for couples to choose from. If you book a small wedding or elopement you are welcome to choose one of these shorter ceremony scripts and write your own personal vows. You are welcome to choose different vows, ring meanings and ring exchanges from my selections. You can say, "We want Elopement Ceremony 8 but with Elopement Vow Option 5.
Some couples will take bits and pieces from several ceremonies to create their own ceremony. Please know you are welcome to do that! You are also welcome to provide me with any short ceremony you would like me to perform. Some of my most popular options have come from couples who already knew the ceremony they wanted! Please just give me enough time to practice the ceremony a few times. Please email your script to me at [email protected].
