Horrible experiences everytime. They don't help, they push you off to the next person in the hopes that you give up.

Indeed, I've realized my intial review is relevant to the office of the Clerk of the District Court, my apologies. I have actually had great experience with the helpful staff dealing with my marriage license on multiple occasions, so thank you!

This was a great example of a well ran Office. The Clerk, Mr. Esch, was taller than expected. I was surprised by that but shouldn’t be surprised as I am only 5’5, everyone one is taller than me. Friendly staff. If I were to get married again I would go back. I like Mr. Esch’s signature. Oh yeah remember to get yourself a DQ Reese PB cup blizzard. If they don’t hand it to you upside down it’s free.

I didn't like the way I was treated when I called the clerk to get a copy of my marriage cert. I have had to call for court records and a birth cert before and was treated really nice by everyone. When I asked why I was being treated unfairly she said it is because we are always busy.

My husband and I were married in this building and it was just perfect! Our officiant, retired Judge Doug Johnson, is the sweetest man. He performed a wonderful ceremony for us. He is kind and helpful. We picked him after reading of the meaningful and profound work he did while an active Judge. He's a perfect choice if you're looking at courthouse official's! Applying for and receiving our marriage license was smooth and easy as well. Staff are absolutely wonderful! They were kind and sweet and excited for us. The Christmas decor was also just so cute!
