Please be advised that you are responsible for obtaining your wedding license from the town hall in TOWN in which you are to be married in. And take note you can get it up to 65 days before your wedding.
Also if you will be needing a copy of your wedding certificate to change your name in the future…tell the town clerk, as you’re filling out the marriage license that you will be wanting a copy ASAP. They will charge you a nominal fee for that and when they get the license back from me, automatically they’ll send you a copy. It makes sense to do it ahead of time.
To make life easier…you should both be there…with either driver’s license and/or passports. In CT the license cost $30. Some on the ball town clerks let you pre pay the extra additional $20 to have a certified copy automatically sent to your home address after they get it back from me. So pay ahead if you can …it will save you the aggravation later !!!
All you do is fill out the form…they type it up…You check it over and then they have you swear to it! That’s it…takes no more than about 20 minutes I’m the one responsible AFTER THE CEREMONY of returning it to the proper authorities.

Just remember throughout the process that I am always available to you to help
you decide on anything you might need help with. I can give you super recommendations on photographers, flowers, Venues, hotels etc. And my website is loaded with this stuff too. So call me if you’d like to chat; 860-941-9519 or send an email to Marie@CTJPMarie.com
***If I will be running the rehearsal, please make sure your venue coordinator knows…tell them you’ve hired me to run it. (the site coordinators don’t always know what goes on during the ceremony and I do special things that set me apart from the others.)
Also understand that in most cases I can run a rehearsal right at the restaurant where you’ll be having your rehearsal dinner…so the venue is, most of the time…a moot point. Just make sure you discuss it with me ahead of time.
Oh and if you’d like me to join you for your rehearsal dinner, please let me know ahead of time. I don’t assume I am invited.
Finally, please remember that I only perform rehearsals that are held in this area…meaning if you’re getting married at Saltwater Vineyard Farm and live in Darien…I will not be traveling to Darien to perform a rehearsal.
