An elopement is more than an escape.
Both are moments where two people choose each other — publicly or privately — and cross into a shared life.
As secular masters of ceremony, we design and officiate weddings and elopements that are intentional, personal, and grounded — without religious language, dogma, or performance for its own sake.
Champagne Ceremonies exists for couples who want a ceremony that feels true to who they are.
A wedding ceremony should sound like you — not like something you’ve heard a hundred times before.
We work closely with couples to create ceremonies that are:
Thoughtful and personal
Inclusive and affirming
Calm, confident, and well-paced
Emotionally resonant without being overwrought
Every ceremony is written from scratch and shaped around your relationship, values, and tone — romantic, understated, joyful, serious, playful, or somewhere in between.
As queer officiants, we bring lived understanding to ceremonies involving LGBTQ+ couples and families — while offering the same care, clarity, and respect to all couples we serve.
Elopements are intentional by design.
Whether it’s just the two of you or a small circle of loved ones, an elopement ceremony offers space to focus on what matters most — without pressure, spectacle, or compromise.
Elopement ceremonies can be:
Private or semi-private
Planned quickly or thoughtfully over time
Simple or quietly symbolic
Held anywhere that feels meaningful to you
We approach elopements with the same seriousness and care as larger weddings — crafting language that honors the moment without excess.
When you work with Champagne Ceremonies, you can expect:
A collaborative planning process
Clear guidance on ceremony structure and flow
Custom-written language — never templates
Steady, calm leadership on the day of your ceremony
Legal officiation handled correctly and professionally
We are ordained and authorized to officiate weddings and elopements in New York and (Sean in California as well), and we regularly officiate destination ceremonies.
Couples work with us because we offer:
Presence without ego
Structure without rigidity
Warmth without sentimentality
Confidence without performance
As secular masters of ceremony and gay men, we understand that weddings often involve complex dynamics — families, histories, expectations, and identities. Our role is to create a ceremony that holds everyone in the room, while staying grounded in who you are as a couple.
If you’re planning a wedding or elopement and are looking for a secular officiant who takes the moment seriously — without making it heavy — I’d love to hear from you.
