Pennsylvania marriage licenses require both applicants to appear in person (or via authorized virtual methods) at a County Clerk of Orphans’ Court office with photo ID and social security numbers. A 3-day waiting period exists after application, and the license is valid for 60 days statewide. Fees typically range from $80–$100 depending on the county. I provide legal handling and registration of your marriage with the registrar’s office after the signing and ceremony.

If your date is less than 30 days from the date of booking then the payment must be made in full.

This has never happened, but fortunately I know several licensed and experienced colleagues. Your ceremony will already be completely written by me and I would have one of them step in and read and perform what you and I have created together.

Simply a wedding, and your love story…
