24-hour Franklin County Marriage License information recording: (614)462-3898
Fees . . . .
To make a reservation for a specific date, I request a retainer of 50% of the total fee. I accept Cash, Paypal and personal checks.
Please note that this retainer is NOT in addition to the officiating fee. The retainer goes toward the total officiating fee and is not refundable. If for any reason you do not have me perform the ceremony and I receive 7 days notice, you will receive a refund of any monies paid beyond the 50% retainer. If your ceremony is postponed, I would be happy to reschedule based on my availability.
Reserving your date. . . .
Full Service -- $200 weekdays or $400 weeknight/weekend* For a wedding celebration of any size. I will attend and/or conduct the rehearsal a day or two before the ceremony. Or, if you prefer, I will arrive up to 2 hours prior to the scheduled ceremony time and conduct the rehearsal at that time. I will perform the ceremony of your choice.
Basic Service "Elopement" - $100 weekday or weeknight $200 weekend* For a small wedding celebration without bridesmaids or groomsmen. I will arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled time and perform a ceremony on which we have agreed.
These prices are for Franklin County. There is NO travel charge if the wedding takes place inside Franklin County. Outside Franklin County travel is computed one way at $1.00 per mile. Out-of-county travel is calculated from Blacklick, Ohio to the wedding site.
*Weekday prices apply Monday through Thursday before 5:00 p.m. Weeknight/Weekend prices apply at other times. Holidays, special dates, or odd hours may be more. Special dates are: national holidays, New Year's Eve, Christmas Eve and Valentine's day.
I mail all required documents to the appropriate probate court within 5 business days. There are no hidden fees or extra charges for doing this. Any consultations needed to compose, design, or develop your ceremony are also included.
Additional Service:
Express Filing $40 with delivery:
If you require immediate proof that you're married, I go to the courthouse, file the papers necessary to obtain a certified abstract of marriage and deliver it to you in FranklinCounty within one business day.
