Legals Only and Registry Style
If you just want to get married without all the fuss - I have two great options for you!
1) Legals Only or
2) Registry Style
Legals Only $350
This option is perfect for couples that simply want to be married without having a ceremony. Maybe you have had a big celebration, or are waiting until you can get your entire family together - but just want to be legally married.
This packages fulfils all legal obligations to be married, plus personal vows and ring exchange if you choose.
Excluding personal vows, this takes approximately five minutes. ​
Due to the very short nature of this option, my Registry Style option may be more suitable if you would like to have a ceremony with guests, walking down an aisle etc.
​
