About Us
Elope In Indy Wedding is located in downtown Indianapolis, offering Officiants and locations for simple, affordable, same-day, short notice, justice of the peace style elopements. In Indianapolis, the City-County Building no longer offers Justice of the Peace or courthouse weddings. This is why we have a centrally-located office, with our Marion County Marriage Officials on-call to serve couples 7 days a week.
Want a bilingual wedding? We have Officiants who are natural, fluent Spanish-speakers (bodas en Espanol Indianapolis, jueces de paz en Indianapolis, casamientos civiles Indiana).
As of October 6th, 2014, LGBTQ Weddings are now legal in Indiana. We proudly serve same-sex couples, just as we serve everyone!
