Set a appointment for a wedding ceremony and showed up 30 minutes early to fill out marriage lincense. It was so fast and easy. The room was perfect for the ceremony and gave us a lot of time to take pictures. Everything was perfect.

We got married in May of this year and had a wonderful experience at this location! We were helped by a kind woman at the front and she was so knowledgeable, kind and fast! We had some mistakes that our officiant accidentally made and she was so quick to tell us we hadn’t ruined our whole marriage and that she could help us fix it! She made sure we knew all the steps and had all the correct paperwork signed and submitted. We joked that she became a small fun part of our marriage process and we are so grateful to her and the team for all her help! Overall a wonderful experience! Thank you! 10/10
