Marriage Ceremonies

Marriage ceremonies may be performed by a judge or magistrate at any district court. Marriage ceremonies at the 64B District Court are performed on site. An appointment needs to be scheduled ahead of time.

To schedule a marriage appointment contact the District Court clerk. If a clerk is not available at the time of your call, you will need to leave a message with your name, phone number, and the reason for your call. Someone will call you back as soon as he or she is able.
