    Couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our special day!

    Major Clark of Elopers DMV was an absolute gem as our wedding day officiant. His warm and charismatic presence immediately put us at ease, making our ceremony feel both intimate and joyous. Major Clark took the time to truly understand our love story and values, crafting a ceremony that felt deeply personal and meaningful.

    His eloquence and professionalism shone through every moment, ensuring that our vows were not only exchanged with love but also with reverence. He also took the time to consult with us to include two meaningful traditions into our wedding program— a wine blending ceremony and jumping the broom. His experience proved invaluable as he made sure to locate and cue all significant aspects of our ceremony that morning. Major Clark's attention to detail and genuine care for our happiness made our wedding day truly unforgettable.

    We couldn't have asked for a more perfect officiant to marry us. Major Clark exceeded all expectations, and we are forever grateful for his role in making our special day absolutely magical. If you're looking for an officiant who will not only officiate your wedding but also infuse it with love, sincerity, and warmth, look no further than Major Clark of Elopers DMV. He is simply the best!

    Highly recommend

    Major was excellent! We had multiple guests tell us how much they enjoyed his ceremony. He has the perfect amount of charisma and professionalism. He made the ceremony very personal and individual to us and also added the perfect amount of humor.

    Incredible Wedding Officiant!

    Major Clark provided my wife and myself a wonderful ceremony. He was extremely professional, detail focused, and an excellent speaker. He created a special memory for both of us and was not only the officiant but, a part of the family for the Wedding day! He provided a wealth of knowledge and recommendations to ensure we received exactly the kind of ceremony we wanted.

    Our West Virginia wedding with the Elopers llc

    We used Elopers for our wedding in West Virginia and couldn’t have asked for a better team! Jen and Major stayed in constant communication with us in the time leading up to the wedding. On the day of, they showed up early and made sure our day was perfect, from beginning to end. Jen and Major maintained a high level of professionalism while also making our day fun and memorable. Even though they had just met us in person for the first time, they were able to pick up on our personalities and made sure our wedding photos reflected on that. Overall, we can’t say enough good things about this amazing husband and wife team. Would highly recommend them to anyone!

    So happy we found Elopers!

    My husband and I got married on 2/22/22…after calling the local judges & finding out they weren’t available we had to find an alternative and I’m so glad we found Elopers!! Major and Jen were awesome. Our small ceremony was perfect! I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a quick easy wedding or even something a little more! I’m so happy we found them. I feel the ceremony Major gave us was absolutely perfect and more personal than what a judge would’ve given us.

    Made our day even more special!

    Major and his wife Jen made our special day even more special. We used the Elopement chapel and had our family in attendance, they were extremely welcoming and friendly to everyone. Major spoke during the ceremony like he had known us for years. We were extremely happy with our decision!!

    Jen and Major were so helpful through our wedding process. Jen was great at answering my emails or calls, she was super helpful with information I needed. Major was very funny and outgoing. He was very helpful with the ceremony for our spooky wedding and even dressed up as Jack Skellington which made it even more perfect! They care about making your day special and make you feel like family. I highly recommend them!

    Elopement in the woods

    I wanted a simple small wedding in the woods with our children and Jen and Major delivered. It was exactly how I pictured it and easier than I thought would be possible. I wanted to get married but never wanted the stress of a wedding. Thankfully I stumbled upon their website in my google searches. Jen made it so simple to plan. Major called us prior to the day to give us the run down of what would happen so we knew what to expect. The day was absolutely perfect and the pictures were amazing.

    Elopers's reply:

    Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your day! Elopers believes everyone deserves this type of experience. We wish you many years of wedded bliss!

    Look no further!

    Kristin and I can't thank Major enough.
    We stumbled upon Elopers site months before our big day and after one call with Major, we were excited to book! Major was such a pleasure to work with. Always accessible and responsive and made our wedding ceremony special. Major takes a lot of pride in his work and it was clear. I would recommend anybody that is searching for a professional top-notch wedding officiant, look no further. Thank you again!

    Elopers's reply:

    Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your day, Billy! We were excited to work with you as well. Each client is important to us because we strive for reviews just like yours. Congratulations again!

    Wonderful Small Wedding Experience

    Jen and Major were fantastic to work with throughout the whole process of planning our wedding day. Jen expertly walked us through all our options, answered all my questions, and was patient and helpful during each interaction. We selected a venue that was new to Elopers, and Jen and Major came out ahead of the wedding day to walk the grounds and identify the best location for the ceremony. I loved that they supplied everything we needed, including a sand unity activity for our family, and then handled the marriage license process after the fact. We love how our wedding day turned out, and that was all because of Jen and Major’s expert guidance. We highly recommend them for anyone planning a smaller ceremony.

    Bruce and I had the best experience with Jen and Major.

    Jennifer and Major are absolutely amazing!!!! We are thrilled that we choose them to coordinate our wedding in our backyard. Jennifer has been so patient with me and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I couldn’t say enough good things about them. Professional, kind, personable, and SO GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO. I really couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day and they are a huge reason it went so smoothly. Thank you guys for everything.

    Stress Free & Very Responsive

    We found Jen & Major through a google search when we first had the idea of eloping in DC. We had no idea this service existed and had an amazing experience with them! Very responsive by email, helpful with recommendations & flexible for plans and timing when the incoming weather looked horrible. Their knowledge and help made the permits, planning & ceremony so simple and stress free so we could focus on our special day. What a happy day for us and friends, moments we won't be forgetting anytime soon. =) Just the outcome we wanted! Thank you!

    Couldn't be happier!

    We worked with Major and Jen for pre-marital counseling and as an officiant for our wedding. We had to reschedule our wedding 4 times and they couldn’t have been easier to work with! We used them for our premarital counseling (over Zoom) and they really did an excellent job of having us address topics we may not have gotten into otherwise. We learned how each other wanted to be loved and also some of the practicalities of marriage. As far as the wedding, Major did an excellent job – many people (including vendors) came up to tell us so. He made sure the speech had heart, was specific to us as a couple, and was concise (given the sweltering Virginia summer heat). Couldn’t think of kinder people!

    Made Our Wedding Possible Despite All Odds

    What started as a surprise intimate ceremony for my soon to be wife quickly morphed into our actual ceremony amid COVID, and this team was ready for the challenge. They tirelessly worked to help us find a venue, organize all our vendors, and hammer down every single detail. Jennifer, our primary coordinator, made herself available at the drop of a hat and genuinely helped us feel better every step of the way. Because of her, my one piece of advice post marriage is getting a coordinator. Not just any coordinator, but get one like these folks- smart, savvy, compassionate, flexible, and willing to learn. We worked with them to organize a Hindu Ceremony and a Christian ceremony, and Jennifer was willing to understand and learn every single ritual we hoped would become a reality. I cannot say enough that she was our lifeline the entire way. We would not have had our perfect wedding without them. HIGHLY recommend!

    Professional and accommodating

    Major and Jen did an absolutely fantastic job! They were both very professional and accommodating from start to finish. Communication was on point with them even with last minute changes. Their wedding project portal is very easy to use and lays everything out perfectly. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to do a wedding in the DMV area.

    Wonderful ceremony and great peace of mind

    Major Clark was the officiant at our wedding and his wife, Jennifer, was our day-of-coordinator. My wedding ceremony was my favorite part of the day! Major's speech was beautiful, tailored perfectly to our needs, and my guests complimented how it was sweet and just the right length. Having Jennifer there on my wedding day was a great help. She made sure the procession went well, vendors were all set, and helped make sure we stayed on schedule. Both Major and Jennifer were a pleasure to work with!

    Amazing officiant services! No service too small!

    If you're looking for a quality, flexible service for someone to marry you, this company has it down! My (now) husband and I decided that after getting engaged only a few months prior and contemplating all the options of weddings, receptions and EVERYTHING in between that we just wanted to marry each other in a small ceremony just the two of us. I read the reviews for this service on Yelp and turns out it's all true! Jennifer was expedient with a response to my inquiry and they even provided me a customized package (we literally just needed a person authorized to marry us in VA). I didn't use the name change service or have music or anything so I thought the reduced price for the basic service I needed was totally worth it! The transactional part was easy and everything was done online including payment. I had a phone interview with Major, our officiant, and he was very engaging and asked a lot of questions about us as a couple. He really wanted to get to know our story! I felt an instant connection so I booked. Major wrote the most beautiful civil ceremony customizing a script for us. He gave the opportunity for us to provide feedback and comments. The script was so perfect we didn't change a thing! Major was on time to our ceremony and performed it beautifully! Him and the Elopers staff truly made our day stress free and so special! Needless to say, I highly recommend this service!
