Ah, New Mexico! Such a wonderful and enchanting state, when it concerns weddings we are a little different. In many places you go to the county court house get your license, ask to see a Judge or Justice of the Peace and Voila you are wed! Not here.

While Judges and other authorities can marry you, they do not. Well let me correct that, they do not really wish to. In the majority of counties in New Mexico the Judges are busy, so scheduling time to do wedding events is not a genuine priority. Exactly what will take place is the clerks will provide to put you on a waiting list, generally 6 to 8 weeks. At that time, if a Judge is readily available you can have an in chambers wedding event. Notice the if available? Nearly anything can cause a delay, we had one couple who waited the 8 weeks, just to be told the Judge was away on business and could they come back in a week?

If you are from out of town you can not truly wait around, and if you are from town do you actually want to wait? For civil type of events we provide 3 alternatives.
