Elope New Jersey

Who We Are

Three fabulous New Jersey officiants supported by a network of creatives who adore intimate celebrations.

Ready • Love • Elope is led by Celia Milton and supported by the NJ Vows Now collective—three non-denominational officiants who treat every ceremony as a work of art. We listen to your story, help you navigate logistics, and show up with humor, heart, and professionalism.

Our extended family of planners, stylists, and creatives has grown from nearly two decades of collaboration. When you choose us, you also gain access to a community of trusted partners who know how to keep intimate celebrations relaxed and radiant.

Rooted in New Jersey

  • Officiants available from the Jersey Shore to the Skylands.
  • Local insight on licenses, venues, and “quiet life” wedding spots.
