To be legally married, couples must first obtain a marriage license from a county court in the state where the ceremony will take place. Be certain to check with the clerk of court’s office in the jurisdiction where you are to be married for any specific regulations like waiting periods, and any laws about who can legally perform your wedding, etc.
In our role as officiants, we cannot provide your marriage license. We do, however, as required by law, sign and return your marriage license to the clerk of court’s office for you. Once received, a legal copy may be requested from the clerk’s office for a small fee. We provide a bound copy of your ceremony script, and a certificate of marriage suitable for framing. The legal and official marriage certificate must be obtained from the court after the ceremony, and the paperwork is filed.
The Berrys are licensed to perform weddings in West Virginia, Virginia and DC. They are also able to perform weddings in MD, PA and NC and other states.
