My fiance and I went in for our marriage license. Timothy Sloan was the man who helped us and he was amazing to work with! We left with no questions and everything explained to us with kindness.

I was surprised at how pleasant our experience was in obtaining our marriage license. Starting from the security guards and so forth. Laura was not only kind on the phone when she booked my appointment, but she was so pleasant when we arrived at the office. She seemed to genuinely love her job and I really appreciated her positive attitude. You don’t see that too often!

They were fast and friendly. The person who ended up helping me was so kind and took her time to make sure I understood all I needed to do,which for now is nothing. That really saved me money.
