About this venue

Dearly Studio is a courthouse alternative for couples who want a no-fuss ceremony that's still personal, elegant and fun. The concept for Dearly Studio is novel, but not new — plenty of little chapels exist outside Las Vegas, and giddy couples have been skipping over to their local courthouse since forever. What makes Dearly so special is the care that goes into crafting each ceremony, the community of vendors we’re lucky to be surrounded by at Bow Market and the flexibility of our packages to provide a bespoke experience. Cookie cutter weddings are OUT, friends. Time for big feelings, small weddings and a celebration that’s uniquely yours.

    The moment that I saw the ceremony package details for “The Quickie” I knew it was perfect for myself and my partner. It was exactly what we were looking for! We needed to plan far in advance due to important guests coming from out of town, and Jusmine graciously accommodated that request. It was a seamless process, from booking the day and time, to filling out our script questionnaire, to the week of the ceremony, and finally the day of! Jusmine replied to all communication in a timely, professional, friendly, and helpful way. I especially appreciated the detailed information about parking and locating the venue that she was able to provide. Jusmine composed a script for the ceremony and sent it to me about a month beforehand with the ability to request any changes. Even though we had never met, it felt as though Jusmine really understood the relationship that my partner and I have and she captured our love in words beautifully. She also included the important details, like when we would have the rings brought up. On the big day, we were invited into the studio right on time. Jusmine had a very welcoming and calming presence and helped us all feel at ease right away. She gave us an opportunity to take pictures together before the ceremony, and helped to capture all six of us on our own phones. The ceremony itself went as planned. After we were officially married, Jusmine took a polaroid picture of us for our keepsake and then let us all mingle and hug and take more pictures! We also had a ketubah that we asked Jusmine to sign as our officiant and she had a beautiful marble table to lay it out on. When it was time to leave, we made sure that Jusmine had our marriage certificate to fill out. Later that day, she sent an email to confirm that she had sent it to our town hall and provided the USPS tracking number. I cannot say enough good things about Dearly Studio as a venue, and Jusmine as a Justice of the Peace. It is clear that she is passionate about helping couples to unite through a wonderful and memorable day!

    Our wedding day was amazing. Dearly Studio was the perfect place to intimately celebrate our special day and truly feel like the guests of honor. We hosted an intimate ceremony here, as well as our rehearsal dinner the night before. Jusmine was incredibly patient and supportive, tending to our every need. It was the best decision we could have made . The space is beautifully decorated. We loved celebrating with Dearly and having a larger reception elsewhere. It was the perfect alternative to Vegas! Also , pooch friendly.

  • Wonderful wedding experience

    Dearly Studio is such a unique and fun place to get married. It was such a stress free and great way to have our wedding ceremony with our family present. We were able to customize our whole experience, including music and adding flowers that were ready to go right at the start of the ceremony. We also booked our photographer, Carlie, through Dearly, and were so happy with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Dearly Studio!
