Here's how to get your CT marriage or civil union license and be married ASAP!
NOTE:
Different towns do things different. Please consult the list of town halls for the town where you are going to be married for more info and give them a call.
Your CT marriage license must originate from the town where you are going to be married. That's because the original license will stay in an actual book that lives in that town's vital records room (a weirdly romantic place to be married).
At the moment, Hartford is the only town with walk-in same-day service for everyone.
However, an online appointment process is in the works.
New Haven also has same-day walk-in service BUT ONLY FOR NEW HAVEN RESIDENTS. Non-residents can submit an application online and receive a call to schedule an appointment.
Bridgeport is the same, requiring an online application and then they'll call you to set up the appointment.
Many small towns may also have greater availability, either for the same day, or a day or two in advance. Some of my favorites are Hamden, Wallingford, North Haven, Cheshire, and East Haven.
Do you want to get married without a lot of ceremony?
Whether it's just you two, or an informal gathering of family and friends at your home, a park, or the bar where you met, Marj can perform your marriage ceremony anywhere in CT.
The brief ceremony leaves plenty of room for you to share your own thoughts and vows.
You exchange rings and...voila... you're married!
"Marj was wonderful. We wanted to get married on 2/2/22, and she was totally in tune with the numeric significance of that date. She was such a calming presence. It was so intimate and special. She even video taped the whole wedding ceremony and published it to a private YouTube link. Since it was just us, we were grateful to have a record of the ceremony and be able to share it with our family and friends."
Marriage is a big deal.
If it's just you and your partner, or there are hundreds of witnesses, the meaning and commitment of your ceremony is the same.
It's also still exciting, stressful, and emotional, all at once.
My goal as your officiant is to put you at ease, so you can fully experience this incredible intimate moment.
