Micro-wedding in WV

We used Major as our officiant for our small outdoor wedding ceremony in WV. He did a great job and was a true professional. Jen was easy to get a hold of, for communicating any details or reviewing the plan before the big day. My family appreciated Major’s style of being charismatic, with sweet words and some light humor. Would recommend their services to anyone in the area!

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!

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!

Phenomenal

Major and Jen were fantastic! We did a very last minute booking, same day. 🍀💖 They helped us with all of the logistics so that our nuptials would be special just for our family of 4. Mind you we had no idea what/ where/ how & we only spoke a few hours before we were officially married. We are so blessed to have meet them!

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.
