Welcome to Country Vegas Elopements

Video by Sadie Martin

The Country Vegas experience is all about eloping!

Forget the big guest list, forget the months of planning, forget the investment,

and forget all the stress!

​

We are located minutes from downtown Hamilton on a beautiful 1 1/2 acre property surrounded by farm fields. Our outdoor ceremony site features a

handcrafted barn beam arbour with a westward view of a sunset country backdrop.

We also offer a unique indoor ceremony and reception space.

Have us take care of it all.

The venue, the officiant, the music, the photographer, and all the details.

Have us stream the entire wedding to all your family and friends!

Maybe you still want to include some other traditional touches?

A first dance, a cake cutting, or a toast. Have us stream a few words from you and your partner to your guests. You can even share that first dance with them!

Have us capture high quality photos of your ceremony and all the special moments of your personal ‘mini reception’.

The choices are yours. We have designed a variety of wedding experiences that will hopefully exceed your expectations.

Customize your experience from our menu of special added touches and make it yours.

Let’s get started!

Elopement Experiences

The Quickie

Are you looking for simplicity? No pomp and circumstance required?

City Hall is just not going to cut it?

Then ‘The Quickie’ might be the perfect fit for you!

We make eloping easy. Simply arrive with your marriage license from the Province of Ontario, your valid Government issued identification, two witnesses, and a big smile on your face!

Officiant Donny Lovering will deliver a short and sweet, fun-loving, secular style ceremony under our outdoor barn beam arbour or on our rustic style indoor stage. 

​

You will leave here officially hitched and your marriage license will be couriered to the

Province of Ontario the very next business day.

If you wish to sneak away and truly “elope” we can even supply the witnesses for you for an additional fee.

Country Vegas will gladly snap a few pictures of you on your mobile device if you do not choose our in-house photography package. Regardless, we won’t send you out the door without a Polaroid photo keepsake to mark the occasion!

​

You will be on-site for about 30 minutes.

​

If you add the one hour professional photography package, that will extend your time at Country Vegas to 60 minutes.

The Shotgun Wedding

You want simplicity, but you also wish to make it extra memorable and fun!

'The Shotgun Wedding' is our fully-loaded elopement experience.

​

Country Vegas will take care of all the details for you.

We will take care of the Officiating, the photography, the decor, the music, and the food and drink for you, and up to four guests.

Choose your ceremony spot from our two fabulous on-site locations.

One is located on the west end of our property on the edge of a farmer’s field. Our fancy barn beam arbour is the perfect backdrop for you and your partner to exchange your vows.

It is especially gorgeous at sunset if Mother Nature is cooperating!

If you are after something a little more “hipster," or if a storm happens to roll in, you will be able to celebrate in our indoor location at Country Vegas.

This space is super cool and unique!

​

You can even have additional guests join you virtually on your wedding day

with our Live Streaming option.

Your ceremony will be personally performed by Donny Lovering, the owner of Country Vegas.  Donny is a humanist officiant and will provide you with a secular, fun-loving, and personalized wedding ceremony. We also love personally written vows!

​

A wedding is not a wedding without music! ‘The Shotgun Wedding’ experience includes customized music throughout your entire stay with us. We use Spotify to deliver your personally hand-picked playlist. From background music upon arrival, to ceremony selections, celebrate with the music that truly makes you happy!

A beautiful antique signing table and chair is provided to sign up the paperwork and a beautiful fresh wildflower bouquet.

Just because you are eloping doesn't mean you can't have an amazing mini-reception too!

Come and play in our unique event space. 

Here you will find a blend of retro 60's, country, and industrial vibes. 

Enjoy each other’s company, play some pinball, or maybe even some tabletop hockey!

​

Celebrate your first dance as a married couple on our rustic raised barn board dance floor.

Enjoy a handcrafted charcuterie board with cured meats, cheeses, and pickled vegetables, and a selection of soft drinks and water (vegetarian/vegan options available.)

​

Say 'Cheers!' to marital bliss with a complimentary non-alcoholic champagne toast for you and your guests. Take home your custom monogram champagne glasses as a keepsake!

​

Our delicious mini wedding cake is also a wonderful extra touch to your mini-reception.
