THE PROCESS
From Inquiry to Married
01
CHECK AVAILABILITY
Complete my quick Inquiry Form with your preferred date and elopement details. I’ll respond promptly via text to confirm availability and next steps.
02
BOOK YOUR SIGNING
Once availability is confirmed, full payment is required to book your service. Dates are not held without payment.
03
GET YOUR LICENSE
I’ll guide you through obtaining your New Jersey marriage license, if needed. License assistance is provided to booked couples only.
04
GET MARRIED
We’ll meet, complete your legal marriage and I’ll handle the required filing. I can also help you obtain your Certified Marriage Certificate the same day.
NEED WITNESSES?
JUST THE TWO OF YOU?
That's perfectly fine.
If you're keeping your marriage completely private and don't have witnesses, they can be arranged for you.

MARRIED TODAY.
CERTIFICATE TODAY.
For qualifying weekday marriages, you may be able to receive your Certified Marriage Certificate the same day.
Weekdays Only
Same-day service is available during the registrar's regular business hours. Summer Friday hours may be limited, with some offices closing at noon.
No Additional Fee From Me
You pay only the municipality's fee for your Certified Marriage Certificate. Fees vary by municipality.
Get Two Copies
I recommend purchasing two Certified Marriage Certificates so you have an additional certified copy when needed.
Note:
Same-day availability is subject to municipal hours, requirements and office closures.
CERTIFIED MUNICIPAL REGISTRAR
I understand the paperwork, filing requirements and what happens after your marriage license is signed, helping ensure everything is completed correctly and properly returned to the appropriate registrar.
You get more than an officiant. You get someone who understands the process from both sides.
MORE THAN A SIGNATURE
Getting married legally involves more than signing a marriage license.
As a Certified Municipal Registrar, I bring firsthand knowledge of New Jersey's marriage licensing and municipal process to every couple I serve.
REAL COUPLES. REAL SIGNINGS.
