Meet & Marry

The Meet & Marry option is for couples who want a simple, legal marriage ceremony without the extras.

We meet briefly, confirm that both of you intend to marry, complete the minimum ceremony wording, and sign the marriage license. That’s it — simple, respectful, and done.

This appointment is usually about 15 minutes and works well for couples who want to secure their marriage date, complete the legal paperwork, or have a quick ceremony now and celebrate in their own way later.

Price starts at $60

Simple Wedding Ceremony

A Simple Wedding Ceremony is for couples who want something meaningful and personal without a formal wedding setup.

This option includes up to one hour of my time at your chosen location. Your ceremony can include simple officiant wording, vows if desired, signing of the marriage license, and a few photos afterward.

A small group of family or friends is welcome, but this is not a traditional wedding production. There is no rehearsal, formal processional, seating coordination, decorating, or wedding planning included.

This is a good option for couples who want a relaxed ceremony at a park, home, scenic spot, or simple location where the focus stays on the two of you making it official.

Price starts at $150

How it Works

– Please bring your Tennessee marriage license, any paperwork from the county clerk, and a valid photo ID for each of you.

– I’ll review the license and verify both IDs before the ceremony begins.

– Your ceremony will depend on the option you selected. It may be a quick confirmation of your intent to marry, simple repeat-after-me wording, or a short exchange of personal vows.

– After you both confirm your commitment, I’ll pronounce you married and complete the required marriage license paperwork.

– You may return the completed license to the county clerk yourself, or I can file it for you for an additional fee.
