SIGN & GO OFFICIANT
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Sometimes the "I Do" can't wait for the big celebration - or a celebration isn't wanted at all! Whether it is for military logistics, immigration visas, or just your own personal timeline. Whatever the reason you have, our Sign & Go service is the perfect space for the catchall of reasons to get legally wed.
We've replaced the stuffy government office with a casual, open-air meetup - think of it as a 15-minute 'marriage appointment' that still feels like saying 'I Do' in Hawaii.
Is This Package For You?
YES:
If you need to check the legal box efficiently but want a friendly face and a breeze instead of a waiting room.
Perfect for military (DEERS/PCS) or 'paperwork first, party later' couples.
NO:
If you have a guest list, a photographer, and dreams of a long poetic ceremony. If you want a dedicated moment, our Elopement Officiant Package is your match.
WHAT TO EXPECT
THE VIBE: No lines or waiting rooms with harsh lighting. We meet at a coffee shop, your home, hotel lobby, or scenic park.
THE COMMUNICATION: To keep this service streamlined and affordable, all coordination is handled via email or text.
THE DECLARATION: You get to choose if you want a small 5-minute ceremony or simply just sign the papers - it is up to you.
THE TEAM: Your ceremony will be performed by a professional, state-registered officiant who share the same passion for bespoke storytelling.
THE LOGISTICS: Expert marriage license guidance for making it legal across all 50 States (and internationally!) with immediate digital filing with the State of Hawaii.
THE FINISH: You're in, out, and legally wed in about 15 minutes.

NOTE: This is intended as an affordable, efficient option for couples whose primary focus is the legal requirement. This service is not for couples arriving with professional photographers (i.e. they are rocking more than the latest iPhone), floral arrangements, or those who have gotten all dolled up for hours and looking for a discounted wedding ceremony. Using this service in that manner is inappropriate and should it occur, the couple will be charged the full rate for our elopement officiant package. We ask that you respect our ability to keep this option available for those who truly need it.
In short: You NEED the legal, you WANT a wedding. There is a big difference.
Great Option for Military!
As a former military spouse I understand all too well the AMAZING benefits that come along with that marriage license! From the Schofield Baracks to Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH aka K Bay) - Oahu has a large military presence. I am so excited for all those who serve are finding their special someone and I understand the unique predicament you are in and why getting married on paper becomes important.
BENEFITS MAY INCLUDE:
- PCS ("Permanent Change of Station"):
So you found the one you want to be with forever, but now you have to relocate to your next duty station. The military doesn't pay for the person you are dating or a fiance to move as well ... save the ceremony for later and make sure that you keep your family unit together by signing the marriage license early and celebrate when things calm down after settling into your new home.
- Financial Benefits (BAH - Basic Allowance for Housing, BAS - Basic Allowance for Subsistence, & FSA - Family Separation Allowance):
Don't let these amazing benefits go to waste because you think you have to sign your marriage license on the same day as your ceremony. It is becoming increasingly more popular to sign the marriage license first before the big ceremony.
- Healthcare Benefits:
Make sure your love is taken care of and start that DEERs paperwork early!
- Education Benefits:
Your love may need to change careers to accommodate the demands of the military on its members. There are several programs like MyCAA (Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts) that provide financial assistance for specific educations and trainings.
- Discounts & Special Offers:
Living in Hawaii is EXPENSIVE! Being able to shop at the NEX is an amazing benefit that can save you money to put toward a dream dress!
I have personally been in this position and I commend anyone for making this very practical and rewarding decision.
I would love to help assist you with the legal filing.
