Ah New Mexcio! Such a captivating and terrific state, when it comes to wedding events 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 married! But, not here.

While Judges and other authorities can marry you, they do not. Well let me correct that, they do not really want to. In a lot of counties in New Mexico the Judges are busy, so scheduling time to do wedding events is not a real concern. What will happen is the clerks will offer to put you on a waiting list, usually 6 to 8 weeks. At that time, if a Judge is 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 truly wait around, and if you are from town do you actually want to wait? For civil type of events we offer three options.
