What is the easiest/most cost efficient way to find an officiant to marry us?

Ashleigh, on February 23, 2019 at 8:37 AM Posted in Virginia Planning 0 3
My partner and I plan to elope on 4/19/19. We just want a simple, civil ceremony and I was under the impression the court provided officiants. When I called to ask some questions about obtaining our marriage license, I was told by the local circuit courts that they do not provide justice of peace ceremonies and I would need to outsource my officiant. I can’t seem to find an officiant that offers just a basic ceremony and signing the license/ filing the paperwork. If anyone has been through this process and done something similar, I would love to know how you and your partner went about it and/or which circuit courts in VA provide these services. We live in the Augusta county area if that helps.

    Hi Ashleigh!! Welcome to WeddingWire!! Smiley ring I don't know where in Augusta County you are, but I looked up Staunton marriage license rules and they provide the information to a local wedding officiant on their site. It's K. Wayne Glass and you can reach them at 540.490.1227 or ********@*****.***.

    You can also look through the WeddingWire vendor directory and see if any of the officiants there pique your interest. You can read their reviews and even contact them through WeddingWire. I'll link to the results I found below.
