Beach, Park and Office Elopements!
Congratulations! It is a privilege to share this joyous occasion with you.
Where to elope in New Jersey? How about the Jersey Shore! Under the wedding arch in my office or just blocks away on one of the beautiful beaches of Bay Head or Mantoloking. You may prefer the lovely gardens Spring Lake Park. Within the park is a beautiful gazebo as well as some patios that overlook the lake. I also like the pier at Mantoloking Bridge Park in Brick NJ
I am Andrea Purtell and I am a Wedding Officiant. The term used to be
"New Jersey Justice of The Peace", but New Jersey did away with that title. The title most commonly used today is "New Jersey Wedding Officiant",
"New Jersey Wedding Minister" or "New Jersey Wedding Celebrant". I like the term Wedding Officiant. I am certified to legally perform weddings in the state of New Jersey.
I provide religious, non-religious, non-denominational, interfaith and multicultural wedding officiating services.
If you are planning an elopement in New Jersey, I have a special package just for you!

~ Why Elope? ~
elope as defined in Webster dictionary:
e.lope-verb; to run off secretly to be married. To run away with a lover.
Choosing to elope doesn’t have to mean having a quickie ceremony or just getting it over with. It means it’s just about the two of you, your love and commitment to each other. It is a celebration focusing on your love.
Why elope? The most common reasons are:
e.lope-verb; to run off secretly to be married. To run away with a lover.
Choosing to elope doesn’t have to mean having a quickie ceremony or just getting it over with. It means it’s just about the two of you, your love and commitment to each other. It is a celebration focusing on your love.
Why elope? The most common reasons are:
- The Intimacy and ease of an elopement. It is truly just about the two of you! The stress of a large wedding and having to please and provide for everyone can be overwhelming, not to mention the endless hours of planning things such as invitations, who sits with who, brides maid dresses, favors & so much more…it can make your head spin!
- The high cost of a wedding. Recent polls state that the average cost of a wedding in New Jersey is 45-55,000. You may prefer to put that money towards your dream honeymoon or down payment on a house.
- Marrying again - been there done that, older & wiser, already overpaid for a buffet and flowers, let’s make it about us and our love.
- Want to marry quickly (one or the other has visa issues, medical insurance issues, military deployment, job or other relocation issues).
- Dislike being the center of attention. Why spend all that money to be a bundle of nerves.
- Want to make a special date your anniversary (like Valentine’s Day, or the day you first met) and it falls on a weekday. Elope, then and have a celebration at another more convenient date. This also allows you to take advantage of weekday deals.
- Easier to elope here before your destination wedding and avoid the red tape and expense of having a legal wedding ceremony outside of the USA. Make it legal here and still have your beautiful ceremony and celebration at your dream destination, without the hassle of obtaining a marriage license there.
- Save money by taking advantage of my weekday elopement special and have your celebration on the weekend. You save on things such as brides maid dresses, flowers, favors, ceremony music etc..
- For Same-sex couples who already had a Civil Union or Domestic Partnership ceremony and now would like a simple "make it legal" ceremony my elopement package is perfect for you.
Eloping can be a romantic, fun and adventurous way to begin this new chapter in your life together.
As you apply for your Marriage License the Municipal Clerk will need the name and address of the person performing your ceremony. This means you need to secure an Officiant first. I am available on short notice.
A special note: I support Marriage Equality and would like to say congratulations to all the same-sex couples in New Jersey! Please consider my services. I would be honored to officiate your ceremony.
Peace, Love and Be Married!
