In and out.

Married and can’t stop smiling.

All before lunchtime. 

You just want to be married – not manage a big Broadway production.

This is for the couples who value simplicity, intention, and skipping straight to the good part. No fuss, no guest list debates, and no multi-month timelines. Just a beautiful, legally binding ceremony that feels calm, personal, and quietly your own.

All you need to do? Show up looking cute. Say your vows. Leave married. 

That’s it. And somehow… it’s just perfect.

What’s included:

  • A warm, thoughtful ceremony with one of our Chapel officiants (all Chapel ceremonies have the same caring, intentional tone – and yes, you can write and say your own vows!)

  • You, your partner, and up to two witnesses (no exceptions – this one’s intentionally intimate)

  • Professional photo coverage done for you by our in-house photographer – including an edited 10-image digital gallery to remember every moment

    • Want to bring your own photographer? No problem! Just give us a heads up.

  • Use of the Chapel space for up to 20 minutes (more than enough time to arrive, breathe, say your vows, and soak it all in – without feeling rushed ever.)

  • Access to our retro photo booth (can your wedding get any cuter?!)

  • Dogs? Always welcome.

  • “If you're thinking of doing a courthouse wedding and are okay with spending a bit more, you HAVE to come to the Wolfville Chapel.”

    — Alix

  • “We had the perfect experience for our wedding at the Wolfville Wedding Chapel. We opted for the Quick as Lightning ceremony and couldn't have been happier with our decision. The space was lovely and it was such a relief to have a low-key and relaxing wedding day! Sarah's ceremony was beautiful and we loved our photos!”

    — Linzey

  • “I would recommend the chapel to anyone who wants to have a beautiful, intimate wedding without the stress (and with the added bonus of not breaking the bank). You will not regret leaving the planning in Sarah's capable hands!”

    — Cassidy

  • “We booked the quick-as-lightening ceremony and it was absolutely perfect. Even though the slot is only 20 minutes, we didn't feel rushed at all. Sarah is very accommodating and responds quickly to questions. The photographer is sweet as pie and the chapel is adorable. The day was absolutely perfect and stress-free. If you're considering doing it this way, stop thinking and go book (which is so easy to do!)! We have zero regrets and nothing but good things to say about our experience with Sarah & the chapel.”

    — Kelley

This package is for you if…

  • You want something meaningful without making a big production of it

  • You’re just excited to be married, not stressed about months of planning 

  • You love the idea of keeping things intimate and private

  • You’d rather spend your time and money on your life together, not a one-day event

The best part? There’s no big audience to perform for. No schedule to chase. Just the two of you together and present in the moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Absolutely! We love it when couples share their own vows.

  • Yes - and often because it’s only 20 minutes. It keeps the focus on your moment together, without all the fuss of traditional big weddings.

  • Kids are welcome, as long as they count toward your two witnesses OR aren’t yet old enough to sit by themselves.

  • Nope. If the date is available, it’s yours!

  • Having a small wedding isn’t about “skimping out” or “being cheap”. It’s about choosing calm and intimacy. It’s about prioritizing what you want for your special day.

    Personally, we think that’s priceless.

  • Quick As Lightning exists because not every love story needs to end with “and then they got married while 250 randoms casually judged them”.

    And honestly, not everyone feels comfortable in front of a crowd, so why would you choose that on what is supposed to be one of the best days of your life?!

If the phrase “short, sweet, and intentional” makes your shoulder drop – you’re in the right place.
