Get married vegas style in richmond
you’re in love. you’re ready to get hitched. you want to run off into the sunset (courthouse) with the love of your life. unfortunately, in virginia, it isn’t legal to marry inside the courthouse. Before you panic or pivot to elope in Vegas, let me tell you about a place that’s filling this elopement-sized hole in Richmond’s heart. this summer, lucky in love rva opened richmond’s first and only wedding chapel. and, it’s vintage. so much care went into this chapel, which was opened by one of richmond’s most beloved wedding officiates and planners: tia ballard. alongside two incredible richmond event planners, savannah manzie and kasie murphy.
that just married joy
LUCKY IN LOVE WEDDING CHAPEL is located right in the heart of richmond’s city proper. This sweet little chapel is everything you wanted from the courthouse and more. It’s intimate, offbeat, stylish, and lovingly designed for couples who want meaning without the noise. You can still keep it simple, or you can bring in just enough flair to make it feel like you. The retro touches? Immaculate. The vibes? Impeccably cool without trying too hard. the photographers? we’re in heaven. It’s the kind of space where you can get married in boots or bare feet, sequins or silk, and still feel like you're doing something sacred.
And of course if you’re working with a documentary-style photographer who shoots weddings and elopements on real film (hi, that’s me), it is… chef’s kiss. There’s no crowd to perform for (unless you want to utilize the space’s capacity for 20 wedding guests!) No distractions. Just you, your partner, and the quiet kind of magic that happens when the pressure melts away.

So no, you can’t elope at the courthouse in Richmond — but maybe that’s the best thing. Maybe this city’s way of nudging you toward something more intentional, more memorable, and maybe even a little more you.
