The Elopement Package includes a Justice of the Peace-led ceremony in the lovely Shakespeare Gardens (or in the library, depending on the weather), a wedding bouquet and a small wedding cake, plus champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries upon arrival. Savor a private post-ceremony dinner in the elegant Muse by Jonathan Cartwright restaurant. And at the spa, enjoy a side-by-side treatment in a couples’ suite. On the wedding night, staffers will shower your room with rose petals, too; we suggest booking one of the Grace Suites, which have gas fireplaces, private balconies and deep-soaking tubs (elopement packages start at $895; gracehotels.com/mayflower).
Legally Wedded
Marriage licenses are required in all three states. Couples must apply in person and furnish proof of age, valid ID and, if applicable, a divorce decree or death certificate. New York State has a waiting period of one day.
