Question 1

How do I apply for the marriage license?

Accepted Answer

For NJ weddings, call the township you live in, make an appointment to apply for the license (the township will tell you what is required with that), and then pick up your marriage license approximately 2-4 weeks before the wedding ceremony (if it's sooner than that, it's fine. But do not pick up the license until you are less than 4 weeks away). You bring the license with you on the day of the ceremony which your officiant and two witnesses will sign immediately after the ceremony. Your officiant will then take care of registering the license in the town where the ceremony was performed.

Question 2

We want to book you, what are the next steps?

Accepted Answer

After you decide you want to book with us, we will send you a link for our online contract. Once that is signed and the retainer fee is paid, your officiant will send you their name, address, and phone number to provide to the township when applying for the marriage license. They will also send over any relevant documents depending on which package and options you have chosen. From there, the process for bringing your dream ceremony to life begins!

Question 3

Do you travel?

Accepted Answer

We sure do! Every package includes up to 10 miles. Any additional mileage over 10 miles would be $1/mile (one way). Ex. If the location is 20 miles away, the travel charge is just $10.

Question 4

Do you provide witnesses?

Accepted Answer

We can! If you are in need of one or both witnesses needed for the ceremony, we can provide them at the cost of $50 per witness (plus any applicable travel).

Question 5

Are you affiliated with any religion?

Accepted Answer

Our team comes from a variety of religious backgrounds but recognizes all religions and will conduct a ceremony that reflects your personal beliefs and values.

Question 6

Are you LGBTQIA+ friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Love is love! And we'd especially love to officiate your wedding.

Question 7

Are all of the officiants qualified to officiate weddings?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Everyone is an ordained minister and legally recognized by the State of NJ to perform wedding ceremonies, as well as certified and registered with several other states.

Question 8

What can I include in my ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Anything you'd like! We love crazy, interesting ideas that can let our creative minds go to work! Whatever you're envisioning, don't be afraid to share it with us!

Question 9

What if we're already married but want to have a symbolic ceremony?

Accepted Answer

We do that, too! Whether you already got married without telling anyone, or just simply did a court ceremony and now want one with friends and family, we are more than willing to conduct a full ceremony tailored to your needs. Only difference is, there is no marriage license to sign afterwards!
