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 de...

d 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!
Major and Jen were an absolute delight to work with. Major married my older brother 3 years ago and I love how he could work the crowd. So of course, I had to contract him to marry...
my husband and I. The guest loved him and got so many compliments on our ceremony. He makes the process so smooth and is always quick to respond to emails. I highly recommend Elopers for your wedding.

Major and Jen were incredible! My partner and I had been together for 10 years and wanted to get married as close to our anniversary date as possible. We didn't know what we wanted...
to do until a couple of months before our planned wedding date, but we knew we wanted it to be small & meaningful to us. I found Elopers through TheKnot & instantly knew they were exactly what we needed! The process was very simple! Jen helped us set everything up and Major talked to us about ourselves & what we wanted for our ceremony. They made the day of the wedding go so smoothly, and they were such lovely people. Major did a great job with the ceremony while Jen took photos. We were completely at ease the entire time thanks to their help. We will always be grateful for their work! They made our day feel so special & magical.
Major was amazing for our ceremony. Prior to the ceremony, we had a call to discuss what we were looking for and he was very helpful, considerate and really shaped our ceremony in...
to something that reflected us. We aren't super religious but it was important to us that the ceremony was serious without being to "preachy." Major did a wonderful job and we received multiple complements on the ceremony!

owed through with the vendors after the wedding. Before Jen and Major stepped in we felt overwhelmed; they provided the support and advice we needed. They are a sweet and funny couple together. You could really see their love for their work and each other. We were so lucky to have them.
We booked Major last minute, after learning that having our friend marry us might not be straight forward in VA, and all we can say is wow are we glad we found him. Major and his w...
ife Jen were kind, professional and responsive from the first minute we sent an inquiry and all of the planning went buttery smooth. Major took care of details of our ceremony that left us saying, “I hadn’t thought about that,” over and over, but also never pressured us to make decisions on the spot. On the day of our wedding, Major made sure everything went smoothly and his performance was awesome. It felt like he genuinely was excited and happy to marry us in front of our family and friends, and our guests felt that energy as well, with many of them telling us how great Major was throughout the night. Stop scrolling and give him a call because we want you to have an amazing ceremony too.
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 wed...
ding. 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!
I cannot say enough great things about Major and his team! His was always incredibly responsive and knowledgable. He completely understood what my husband and I were looking for i...

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 a...
nd 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.
I would highly recommend Major, his wife Jen, and Melisa. The team are so attentive and responsive. We met with Major via zoom weeks before to coordinate our needs.

We wanted a simple small wedding in the woods with our children and Jen and Major delivered. It was exactly how I pictured it and easier than I thought would be possible. I wanted...
to get married but never wanted the stress of a wedding. Thankfully I stumbled upon their website in my google searches. Jen made it so simple to plan. Major called us prior to the day to give us the run down of what would happen so we knew what to expect. The day was absolutely perfect and the pictures were amazing.
We loved Major! Super fun and easy to work with! Let us customize our ceremony as much as we liked and guided us through the process. Our guests loved him and we got tons of compli...

We worked with Major and Jen for pre-marital counseling and as an officiant for our wedding. We had to reschedule our wedding 4 times and they couldn’t have been easier to work wit...
h! We used them for our premarital counseling (over Zoom) and they really did an excellent job of having us address topics we may not have gotten into otherwise. We learned how each other wanted to be loved and also some of the practicalities of marriage. As far as the wedding, Major did an excellent job – many people (including vendors) came up to tell us so. He made sure the speech had heart, was specific to us as a couple, and was concise (given the sweltering Virginia summer heat). Couldn’t think of kinder people!
Jen and Major made our special day memorable. We enrolled in the pre-marital classes and learned so much, we feel truly prepared for a happily ever after and everything in between....
They are available and helpful as the need arises throughout the whole wedding planning process. Working with them is the best decision we made during our wedding process :)

Thank you both again!❤
Jen and Major were fantastic to work with throughout the whole process of planning our wedding day. Jen expertly walked us through all our options, answered all my questions, and w...
as patient and helpful during each interaction. We selected a venue that was new to Elopers, and Jen and Major came out ahead of the wedding day to walk the grounds and identify the best location for the ceremony. I loved that they supplied everything we needed, including a sand unity activity for our family, and then handled the marriage license process after the fact. We love how our wedding day turned out, and that was all because of Jen and Major’s expert guidance. We highly recommend them for anyone planning a smaller ceremony.
Major was the officiant at our wedding in September. He and Jennifer were great to work with -- both very kind and receptive to our needs. The ceremony was lovely, my favorite part...
of the whole day! Jennifer was our day-of-coordinator and she helped the procession move along nicely. She kept us on schedule and helped wrangle our family members and bridal party. It was a relief to have her in my corner on my wedding day. I highly recommend Elopers for officiant and coordination services.
I’m so happy we chose Major and Jen. It was an absolute pleasure working with such a kind and caring couple. We thank you for giving many ideas that we could work with that made ou...

ed - flowers, photography, unity ceremony. She was so accommodating. Major performed a beautiful and meaningful ceremony for us that included everything we requested. He was awesome to work with as well. The marriage license by proxy service made it even easier because we didn’t even need to go to the courthouse. We literally just showed up and got married. It was everything we wanted.
This is an excellent value for the price and I highly recommend their services. Professional. Affordable. Memorable. Thank you!
Love,
The Roberts
