The Arbor at The Bucks Club

    Weekday elopements · Bucks County, PA

    Elopements

    No vendors. No timeline. No one telling you where to stand.

    From $5951–10 people

    A self-guided ceremony on a quiet weekday morning at The Arbor — the waterfront arbor, the covered deck, or a private indoor chapel room. Just the two of you, or up to ten people who wanted to be there. Ceremonies from $595, booked online in minutes.

    Three ceremonies

    Choose where you'll stand.

    Priced by setting and time, not by headcount. Every ceremony includes the full photo system, and guests are $35 each up to ten people on site. Every price on this page is the price — there is no proposal to wait for.

    How it works

    Four steps, start to married.

    No tour. No meetings. No back-and-forth. You can do the entire thing tonight, on your phone, without speaking to anyone.

    01

    Choose where you'll stand

    Three ceremonies, priced by setting and time: the indoor room, the covered deck, or the waterfront arbor. What each one includes is listed in full — there is nothing to negotiate.

    02

    Pick a weekday morning

    Monday through Thursday at 9:30, 11:30, or 1:30. Only open dates appear, so whatever you select is genuinely yours.

    03

    Add only what you want

    Flowers, lunch, an officiant, a bar tab — add them or skip every one. The ceremony stands on its own.

    04

    Book and pay

    Checkout takes a few minutes and your date is confirmed on the spot. No tour, no meeting, no waiting on a proposal.

    Your photos

    A camera that is already pointed at the right spot.

    Read this section carefully — it is the part couples most often assume. There is no photographer at a self-guided ceremony. Instead, the property is set up so the photos happen without one.

    Ceremony Camera

    A professional camera is permanently mounted and pre-framed at each ceremony site. You trigger it by remote during your vows — the frame is already composed, so you don't have to think about it.

    Photo Booth

    An instant-share booth sits near the ceremony site for your guests. Everything they shoot lands in the same gallery as the ceremony frames.

    Photo Trail

    Marked spots around the property — the pond, the fountain, the deck, the course. Each has a QR code linking to a short framing guide so the photo comes out right the first time.

    What this is

    • A tripod and phone/camera mount loaned to you for free, set up wherever you like
    • Marked, pre-scouted spots at each ceremony site with the best angle and light already worked out
    • A photo trail — marked spots around the property, each with a QR code linking to a framing guide
    • Full run of the grounds afterward, so you and your guests can keep shooting at your own pace

    What this is not

    • No photographer is included. Nobody is directing you, following you, or working the room.
    • We do not shoot, hold, or operate the camera for you — the images are yours to capture.
    • Nobody will pose your family or run a shot list.
    • There is no editing, gallery delivery, or album design included.

    Add-ons

    Add nothing, or add everything.

    Selectable at checkout, priced here so there are no surprises later.

    Additional guest

    One more seat at your ceremony. Covers their chair and their champagne pour. The Scenic Deck and The Arbor already include 2 guests; The Chapel Room includes your 2 witnesses. Ten people on site is the hard maximum, the two of you included.

    Only for guests beyond the ones already included in your ceremony

    $35 per person

    Extended time, +30 minutes

    Thirty extra minutes of private use of your ceremony site and the grounds — useful if you want unhurried photos on the photo trail afterward. Most couples booking The Arbor's 90 minutes do not need this.

    $150

    Officiant

    A licensed officiant who arrives, leads a short ceremony, and signs your license. Pennsylvania self-uniting licenses let you marry each other with no officiant at all, and you may bring your own at no charge — so only add this if you want us to provide one.

    Most couples skip this

    $195

    Bouquet + boutonniere

    One hand-tied seasonal bouquet and one matching boutonniere, made fresh and waiting for you when you arrive. This is personal flowers you carry and wear — not the flowers on the ceremony structure.

    $95

    Ceremony florals upgrade

    Fresh florals installed on the structure you stand under, plus a lined aisle. The Arbor package already includes the floral arch setup — this upgrade adds fuller, more designed arrangements on top of it.

    The Arbor already includes a floral arch

    $150

    Private lunch at Duffey's

    A three-course lunch at Duffey's Bar & Grille on property, at a private table held for your group right after the ceremony. Priced per person, so count everyone eating. Add nothing else for food — this is the full meal.

    $45 per person

    Cutting cake

    A small decorated cake for the cutting photo, served to your group afterward. Serves up to ten.

    $65

    Champagne upgrade

    Every ceremony already includes a champagne toast. This swaps the house pour for a premium bottle at your toast — a nicety, not a necessity.

    A toast is already included in every ceremony

    $45

    Bar tab credit

    A $150 prepaid credit at Duffey's bar for drinks after the ceremony. Anything over the credit is settled at the bar; anything unused is refunded.

    A $300 credit is also available on request

    $150

    Couples' spa treatment

    Two side-by-side 50-minute massages at our on-site spa, scheduled before or after your slot. Covers both of you.

    $210

    Golf for the party

    Eighteen holes with a cart on our public course, priced per golfer. A popular way for guests to spend the afternoon after a morning ceremony.

    $45 per player

    Instant-print photo booth

    An instant-share, instant-print booth set up near your ceremony site for the length of your booking, with props and unlimited prints for your group.

    $295

    Video guest-book booth

    A booth that records short video messages from your guests instead of written signatures.

    $145

    Professional photographer

    A professional photographer on site for one hour — your ceremony plus portraits at the arbor, the pond and the gardens, with an edited digital gallery delivered within two weeks. Without this add-on there is no photographer at your ceremony; you use our free tripod and marked spots instead.

    Otherwise photos are self-serve

    $495

    Printed photo book

    A bound printed album of up to 20 of your favorite frames — send us your files after the day and we design it and mail it within three weeks. Pairs well with the photographer add-on.

    $95

    Live acoustic musician

    A solo acoustic guitarist or violinist playing live for your processional, ceremony, and recessional — roughly 45 minutes on site.

    $275

    Marriage license

    One errand in Doylestown, ten minutes away.

    A Bucks County marriage license costs $60 and is issued by the Register of Wills & Clerk of Orphans' Court, 55 E. Court Street, Doylestown, PA. Both applicants must appear in person, together, with valid photo identification.

    Self-uniting licenses

    Pennsylvania is one of the few states that allows couples to marry without an officiant. With a self-uniting license, the two of you marry each other — you and your witnesses sign the license, and that is the ceremony. The fee for a self-uniting license differs from a standard one, so confirm current fees and requirements directly with the county before you go.

    We are not able to give legal advice, and county requirements can change. The Register & Clerk of Orphans' Court is the authority on your license.

    Read this first

    There is a three-day waiting period.

    Pennsylvania holds every marriage license for three full days after you apply. You cannot apply the day before your ceremony. This is why our calendar will not let you book a date less than five days out.
