We have had couples take their own officiant to the courthouse or somewhere nearby and then went there for photos because they just loved the space and had their heart set on doing photos there.
One of our AMAZING couples who got married at the Memphis courthouse shared so many great tips on a recent post of hers on Instagram, I asked if she minded me sharing them on here for any future couples considering the Memphis Courthouse as an option for their elopement or intimate wedding! It is a gorgeous space and with Carson’s tips, it’s such an easy and stress free way to marry your person!
STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO
GETTING MARRIED AT THE MEMPHIS COURTHOUSE:
1. Shelby County Courthouse is downtown at 140 Adams Avenue, and ceremonies happen M-F at 12PM by a judge.
2. Pick a day (and a few alternatives just in case the first choice isn’t available) and call 222-3836 to book your court date.
3. Once your date is booked, make your plans to get your marriage license within 30 days prior at the county clerk’s office, right across the street. No appt needed. You need to bring the entire marriage license pack with you on your wedding day.
4. Max guest count is 8 (so 10 including the two of you) If you aren’t having any guests, you will need a witness, but that can be your photographer. Don’t forget your photographer!
5. Ceremony lasted about 20 minutes once everyone arrived.
