How to Elope BC
Pick up a license for $100 at any of these locations
Hire a marriage commissioner or officiant. Commissioners are more affordable but are restricted to specific areas and cannot include religious aspects or customize your ceremony.
Permit – Depending on where in Vancouver you want to elope, you may or may not need a permit:
Vancouver: Unless you have more the 15 people present or want to set up decor or play music NO permit is required to elope in any of the parks in Vancouver.
North Vancouver: You need to get in touch with the field booking office via this link. The cost is approximately $70 for insurance and a one hour permit.
West Vancouver: Park permits are required and cost either $135 for non-exclusive use or $400 for exclusive use. Apply for a permit here.
Witnesses. Law in BC requires two witnesses to be present during your ceremony and both need to sign the marriage certificate. The photographer can be one of the witnesses but the officiant cannot.
