Forget the ladder up the side of the house and running off in the middle of the night. That's a really antiquated form of elopement. Today, so many weddings are elopements or very small ceremonies for a wide range of reasons. Lynne and Keith Langille have helped many couples who find it preferable to complete the marriage ceremony first, and then manage the communications exercise to their families and friends afterwards. And they're saving a small fortune by doing so. They also put up with minimal stress for their wedding day.

The Top Reasons Why Couples Elope:

1.   to have an affordable Wedding
2.   to save time
3.   to maintain your sanity
4.   to have fun
5.   to have freedom from the norm
6.   to redirect money towards buying a house
7.   to start Immigration procedures
8.   to get around the high cost of destination weddings
9.   to avoid needing to have marriage documents translated from a foreign language
10. to circumnavigate family politics

When couples want to eliminate the pressures of a Conventional Wedding, they sometimes choose to “Elope” or have a small ceremony, without breaking the bank. Whether it's during the Christmas -New Year's period, Winterlude or any other time of the year, Lynne and Keith can guide you in creating a unique and memorable ceremony at a wide range of venues.

Elopement is fun and romantic!… Like a small private wedding… with or without a wedding gown, with or without a bridal bouquet… A ceremony restricted to the bride and groom (and a couple of witnesses) or may include few close friends and even the parents followed by a nice dinner after the ceremony and maybe even (or not) a brief honeymoon.

Elopement is a practical solution to career couples. It takes little preparation! While most tend to be civil, Lynne and Keith are equally adept in preparing religious, inter-faith, and non-denominational elopement ceremonies.

Elopement may also be the only option to get married. When a couple in love, determined to share their lives together, faces opposition by one or more of the parents to the marriage due to religious, racial or cultural misconceptions… Such opposition is still not uncommon!

Elopement is cheap. Lynne and Keith will help you experience a tasteful and meaningful ceremony that satisfies all of your needs without the pressures and expenses of traditional weddings. Alternatively, Lynne and Keith also have the creative means for you to successfully conduct an exotic foreign wedding ceremony with or without your own witnesses but with all the security and legal protections of an Ontario registered marriage. And this can be done quickly from just $300 which is a fraction of the rates charged by cruise lines and resorts for their cookie cutter impersonal ceremonies.

December is increasingly becoming a very popular month for elopement weddings especially near the Winter Solstice, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. If you're thinking about getting married around this time, it's best to check with Lynne and Keith as early as you can so that they will be able to ensure their availability for your ceremony.

If you already have a valid Ontario marriage license, Lynne or Keith Langille can often perform your ceremony the same day. And Lynne and Keith's elopement ceremonies are much more memorable and heart-felt than those sterile ones done by a municipal clerk after you've waited in line at City Hall. Lynne and Keith can also point out to you where you can obtain your marriage license for $75 rather than the $150 charged by the City of Ottawa.

Amongst the many elopment ceremonies that Lynne and Keith have performed, they have helped some couples advance immigration processing by virtue of a Canadian-registered marriage even though they still planned a religious wedding later in their home country, some while transiting through Ottawa (no, Las Vegas doesn't have a monopoly on this!), some couples being posted abroad, some older couples who felt it was time and that their children would accept their decision to do so quietly, and some who simply appreciated the discretion that elopement affords them.

Whatever your reasons for selecting an elopement wedding, Lynne and Keith Langille can help you turn it into a truly wonderful experience that others will envy.
