Welcome
My name is Tina. I am the legally ordained interfaith minister/officiant and owner of Simply Elope. As a true romantic, I bring to you my dedication, creativity and very open mind. People describe me as bright, strong, caring, thoughtful, unique, a visionary, a teacher, and a problem solver.
Why a Mobile Officiant?
My journey to this work is rooted in a simple belief: your ceremony should be a true reflection of your relationship, not a performance for others. I became a mobile minister to free couples from the constraints of traditional venues, bringing a focus on meaning, comfort, and authenticity directly to you.
Whether you envision a simple elopement, a custom spiritual ritual, or a themed adventure, I am here to listen. My path as a Druidess, deepens my respect for personal tradition and natures sacred spaces. It fuels my commitment to crafting ceremonies that are intimate, relaxed, affordable, and focused where it should be: on your connection.
This is not just a service. It is a dedicated practice of creating a heartfelt, professional, and authentic moment for you to begin your next chapter.
My Goal:
To help couples have a ceremony that is intimate,
easy, stress free, and affordable.
Community Support
Part of my goal, with Simply Elope, is to help locally owned small businesses. This website's blog area is dedicated to helping you connect with your community for needed wedding services, and more. Together we can help each other!
