Martha was amazing!! She was very accommodating of the time constraints we were faced with and was able to capture the smallest of moments. She is also extremely affordable!! I love looking at the pictures from our day at the courthouse and have already picked which ones to place around our house. I highly suggest her for any event!

June 01, 20233 min read

Planning a courthouse wedding can be an exciting and fulfilling experience. With its intimate atmosphere and simplicity, a courthouse wedding offers a unique opportunity to celebrate your love in a meaningful way. To ensure that your special day goes off without a hitch, we have created a comprehensive 10-step checklist. From obtaining the necessary documents to adding personal touches, this checklist will guide you through every aspect of planning your dream courthouse wedding. Let's dive in and make your courthouse wedding a day to remember.

Step 1: Research Your Local Courthouses

Start by researching the courthouses in your area. Look for ones that align with your vision and preferences. Consider factors like architectural aesthetics, capacity, and availability. Gather information on their wedding ceremony policies, booking procedures, and any additional requirements or restrictions.

Step 2: Check Legal Requirements

Ensure that you are familiar with the legal requirements for getting married at a courthouse. Contact your local marriage license office to obtain information about necessary documents, identification, waiting periods, and any premarital counseling requirements. Make sure to meet all the prerequisites well in advance.

Step 3: Secure Your Marriage License

Obtain your marriage license within the designated timeframe. Schedule an appointment at the appropriate office and bring all the required documents. Fill out the application form accurately and pay the necessary fees. Once you have your license, keep it in a safe place until the wedding day.

Step 4: Set the Date and Time

Choose a date and time that work best for you and your partner. Consider weekdays if you prefer a quieter atmosphere. Check the availability of the courthouse and book your preferred date and time accordingly. Keep in mind that some courthouses may have limited availability for weddings, so plan ahead.

Step 5: Invite Your Guests

Decide on the number of guests you would like to invite to your courthouse wedding. Courthouse weddings are typically more intimate affairs, so keep the guest list modest. Send out invitations or informal announcements well in advance, allowing your loved ones to make arrangements to attend.

Step 6: Plan Your Outfits

Courthouse - Plan Your Outfits

Select your wedding attire based on personal style and comfort. Keep in mind that courthouse weddings tend to be more casual than traditional ceremonies, but feel free to dress up if that's your preference. Coordinate your outfits with your partner and consider incorporating unique touches that reflect your personalities.

Step 7: Ceremony Details

Discuss the ceremony details with the courthouse staff. Inquire about any restrictions or guidelines they have in place. Decide on the elements you want to include, such as personalized vows, ring exchange, or readings. Make sure you are clear on the order of events and any specific rules that need to be followed.

Step 8: Plan the Photography

Decide whether you want to hire a professional photographer or assign a friend or family member to capture the special moments. Research courthouse photography policies and any restrictions on equipment or location. Coordinate with your photographer to ensure they are aware of the schedule and any specific shots you desire.

Step 9: Personalize Your Ceremony

Add personal touches to make your courthouse wedding unique and meaningful. Consider incorporating special readings, music, or symbolic rituals. Bring meaningful items or mementos to enhance the sentimental value of the ceremony. Customize your vows to reflect your love story and commitment to each other.

Step 10: Celebrate and Document

After the ceremony, take a moment to celebrate! Plan a small reception or gathering to share the joy with your guests. Capture the precious moments, both candid and posed, to create lasting memories. Consider organizing a post-wedding photoshoot at a meaningful location to complement the courthouse wedding images.

Conclusion: With this 10-step checklist, you're well on your way! Schedule your ceremony today.
