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
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
Looking for a wedding officiant in Franklin, TN who can keep things simple, affordable, and stress-free? Notary Force offers civil wedding ceremonies, elopements, and sign-and-go marriage ceremonies for couples who want to make it official without the hassle of a big wedding.
I’m based in Franklin and serve couples throughout Nashville, Brentwood, Cool Springs, Nolensville, Spring Hill, and surrounding Middle Tennessee areas. You can choose a home, park, restaurant, or simple outdoor location — I’ll handle the ceremony and marriage license signing.
– 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.
Please bring your Tennessee marriage license and valid photo ID for both of you. Your marriage license must still be valid, so make sure your ceremony is scheduled within the 30-day license window.
And yes — both of you need to be present in person. I cannot perform the ceremony unless both partners are there, ready to say “I do.”
Tennessee does not generally require witnesses for a marriage ceremony, even if you see a witness line on the form. If you want someone to sign as a witness for personal reasons, you may bring one.
I can meet couples at a home, park, restaurant, outdoor location, or another simple public meeting place. For quick sign-and-go ceremonies, we can choose a convenient location in or near Franklin.
I may be able to meet at or near a courthouse depending on the county, parking, timing, and my schedule. Contact me before booking so we can confirm the best meeting location.
That is usually fine. A Tennessee marriage license may generally be used for a ceremony anywhere in Tennessee, as long as it is still valid. After the ceremony, the completed license must be returned to the county clerk’s office that issued it.
Yes. Non-Tennessee residents can get married in Tennessee. There is no residency requirement, and Tennessee marriage licenses are valid for 30 days from issuance. Both applicants usually need to appear in person at a Tennessee county clerk’s office with valid photo ID to pick up the license.
I love taking pictures and I’m happy to take a few simple photos with your phone after the ceremony if time and location allow. I am not a professional wedding photographer, but I know couples often appreciate having a few quick pictures from the moment.
Sometimes, yes. Last-minute wedding officiant appointments may be available depending on my schedule, your location, and whether you already have your marriage license.
Yes, I can file the signed marriage license for an additional fee. You may also return it to the county clerk yourself after the ceremony. This should be done within 3 business days from the date of marriage.
