Experience the Magic of Shotgun Ceremonies
Updated: Jul 31
What a Shotgun Ceremonies Wedding Is
Shotgun Ceremonies is a tiny wedding venue with a licensed wedding officiant. We’ve got a small pink chapel in a shipping container and a covered outdoor gazebo in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. You get the same legal ceremony you’d find at the courthouse, but with a much better story. We keep it small and simple. We cue your favorite music, tailor the script to your story, and handle signing and filing the paperwork so it’s truly official.
Our Key Offerings
Licensed officiant who keeps it heartfelt.
Witnesses available (free) if you need them.
Music at the right moment to set the mood.
Time for photos (we'll take some on our phone or yours!).
Want Extra Flavor?
Choose an Elvis wedding when iconic feels right.
Pub Crawl Wedding across three walkable Georgetown bars for your ceremony, toasts, photos, and license signing.
Why Couples Choose This in Seattle
Why do couples love us? Because it’s legal, easy, affordable ($400), and memorable. Our pink chapel has vintage Vegas energy with Seattle soul. You can bring guests or keep it just the two of you. You want a story that sounds like you—not seating charts and $40K of wedding debt.
Who a “Shotgun Wedding” Is For
Couples who want meaning without a giant production.
Partners who value their budget and an experience to remember.
Folks who need witnesses... we’ve got you! (And they’re included free.)
Everyone and every kind of love is always welcome here.
