Why Elopements Are Growing

Couples are choosing meaning over tradition.

More and more couples are skipping the big production and choosing something real instead — a small ceremony, a beautiful moment, the people that matter most. Weekday elopements let you do it on your own terms, without the weekend price tags or the pressure.

If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.

What an Elopement Actually Is

Simple. Intentional. Completely yours.

A lot of couples think "elopement" means sneaking off in secret. It doesn't. It means choosing a ceremony that puts the two of you first — no big venue required, no guest list pressure, no six-figure budget.

It can be at a park, a rooftop, by the river, on a historic farm, or anywhere in Nashville that means something to you.

Meet Your Officiant

Hi, I'm Wes.
I love doing this.

I've been officiating weddings in Nashville for years, and I genuinely never get tired of it. There's something about being in the room when two people say yes to each other that gets me every time.

When you work with me, I make it a point to get to know you — not just your names and your date, but your story. How you met. What makes you laugh. What this moment means to you. That's what makes a ceremony feel real instead of recited.

"When I say the words, I want it to feel like a friend saying them — not a stranger."

Common Questions

Weekday elopements let couples avoid the weekend rush and premium pricing at venues. If you're keeping things intimate and intentional, a Tuesday afternoon in a place you love is often more meaningful than a packed Saturday.
Not at all. The venues listed are partners Wes knows and trusts, but he'll show up anywhere in Middle Tennessee. Parks, rooftops, backyards, riverbanks — if it's meaningful to you, it works.
Within 30 days of your wedding, you and your partner visit your local county clerk's office with two forms of government-issued ID. They'll hand you a sealed envelope — bring it to Wes, and he handles everything after the ceremony. You'll get your official license back from the clerk shortly after.
Absolutely. This is your ceremony. We can make it whatever feels right — traditional, personal, funny, quiet. Wes will build the ceremony around you.
Yes. An elopement doesn't mean you have to go completely alone. Some couples bring just their parents, a best friend, or a small group. It's entirely your call.
Wes is not affiliated with any denomination and is completely comfortable with religious, non-religious, or mixed-faith ceremonies. His job is to marry you in a way that feels true to who you are.
