What Couples Say About Us

  • "Super Quick and Easy Process"

    “My now husband and I needed to find a place last minute and within an hour of calling we were married. The process was super quick and easy. We plan on having a big wedding next year but this was perfect for a quick little ceremony and they took care of all the legal paperwork.”

    — Tatiana Cristancho

  • "Touching and Loving Service"

    “If you’d like to have both a quick and beautiful wedding ceremony, consider having it here at 1 Hour Marriage! My partner and I got married here on 10/31/24 and I can’t commend 1 Hour Marriage enough for how touching and loving the service was. Candice Young was the sweetest. She was so patient and explained every step in the process so well. We couldn’t have asked for someone better to officiate our wedding and our gift after the ceremony was such a cute touch. Thank you Candice!”

    — Olivia Washington

  • "Fast and Meaningful Ceremony"

    “My husband and I decided to get married just us 2 before our big wedding ceremony in a few months. Will was great! He made the process easy, fast and meaningful. It was simple but sweet. Will even offered to take pictures for us. Would recommend 1 Hour Marriage to family and friends.”
