Ah, New Mexico! Such an enchanting and fantastic state, when it pertains to wedding events we are a little different. In lots of 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 don't actually want to. In the majority of counties in New Mexico the Judges are hectic, so scheduling time to do wedding events is not a real top priority. What will occur is the clerks will provide to put you on a waiting list, usually 6 to 8 weeks. At that time, if a Judge is readily available you can have an in chambers wedding. Notice the if available? Practically 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 return in a week?

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