Ah, New Mexico! Such an enchanting and wonderful state, when it comes to weddings we are a little different. In numerous locations 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! But, not here.

While Judges and other officials can marry you, they don't. Well let me fix that, they don't really want to. In many counties in New Mexico the Judges are hectic, so scheduling time to do weddings is not a genuine top priority. What will happen is the clerks will provide to put you on a waiting list, generally 6 to 8 weeks. At that time, if a Judge is available you can have an in chambers wedding. Notice the if available? Nearly anything can trigger a delay, we had one couple who waited the 8 weeks, only to be informed the Judge was away on business and could they return in a week?

If you are from out of town you can not truly wait around, and if you are from town do you really want to wait? For civil type of ceremonies we offer three options.
