For residents outside of Virginia:

For those that aren’t residents, don’t worry! You can still plan your dream elopement in Luray! But first, you’ll need your marriage license.

To get a marriage license in Luray both parties must appear before a clerk at a Virginia Courthouse.

The people getting married must fill out a license application, sign it, and provide an approved photo ID to confirm their identities and ages.
The Luray office is open Monday – Friday – no appointment required.
Marriage License Information | Page County, VA – no witness is required at the ceremony.

Elopement/Engagement Site Fee

This package is available to “add on” to your cabin stay.

Another available option is a DIY ceremony.
You select your officiant and photographer.
Photographer use of cabin and property grounds for ceremony and photography for 2 hours.
No additional guests permitted – only the officiant and photographer.
