Valentines Day Elopements in New Jersey
By NJ Wedding Officiant Andrea Purtell
For This Joyous Occasion Officiating Services

Valentine’s Day Saturday February 14 2015 Elopement Special!!

Elopements in home office located in Point Pleasant beach $105 (regularly $150)

Elopements at Spring Lake Beach or Spring Lake Park $150 (regularly $175)

Come to the Jersey Shore for a romantic elopement and mini-moon! Choose to elope in my home office, the beach or park. Stay at one of our local bed and breakfasts or elegant hotels.

My favorites are Hotel Tides in Asbury Park. This is a beautiful hotel and spa with an amazing restaurant. Enjoy the vibrant town of Asbury Park! Check out their legendary boardwalk and Grand Arcade. Asbury Park has amazing restaurants and downtown shopping area, a great movie house at The Showroom and so much more.

Or stay at The Tower Cottage in Point Pleasant Beach! This is a romantic bed and breakfast located just blocks away from the beach. Party at Martell’s tiki bar, enjoy some fine dining at one of our fantastic restaurants and shop our downtown area famous for its antique stores.

Also check out The Whitesands Resort and Spa in Point Pleasant Beach. Book a spa weekend!

Why elope?

The Intimacy and ease of an elopement. It is truly just about the two of you! Avoid the stress of a large wedding. Having to please and provide for everyone can be overwhelming, not to mention the endless hours of planning.
The high cost of a wedding. Recent polls state that the average cost of a wedding is $27,000.
Marrying again - been there done that, older & wiser, already overpaid for a buffet, open bar 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)!
You are planning a destination wedding and it is so much easier to elope here 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.
For Same-sex couples who already have a Civil Union or Domestic Partnership and now would like a simple "make it legal" ceremony.

See my special elopement website newjerseyelope.com for more information, sample ceremonies, photos, list or local restaurants and more

Planning a larger more traditional wedding or perhaps a seaside ceremony this summer? I have more packages to choose from at For This Joyous Occasion Officiating Services and Seaside Ceremonies
