Elopement-style Weddings with Officiant Frank Harlan
Elopements and Minimonies
Officiant Frank Harlan in associations with FranMo Urban Farm offers a complete small intimate wedding package some refer to as an Elopement a.k.a. a Minimony -- which became popular during the COVID-19 lockdown. These offering were created for couples in search of a way to have a private wedding ceremony in a beautiful (spacious and socially-distanced) location hosting up to a dozen family members and close friends.
FranMo's Minimony and Elopement Wedding Packages is available year-round and takes place in one of The Garden's staging areas, and can be followed by a photoshoot with your photographer around our beautiful Urban Farm.
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter! Elope During Your Favorite Season in The Gardens at FranMo Urban Farm.
What's the Difference between FranMo's Elopement Wedding and a Courthouse-style Wedding? An Elopement Wedding requires some preproduction with the couple and Officiant Frank Harlan to create a personalized script, marriage vows and more. While a Courthouse-style Wedding, sticks to a Traditional Civil Union script that may take only a few minutes to complete.
ATTENTION: FranMo Urban Farm may book up to two Elopement-style productions in a single day. There are two blocks of time you may schedule an Elopement Wedding. The AM Block is from 9am-2pm or the PM Block 3pm-7pm.
