A Civil Ceremony is a legal function of the County Clerk’s office to solemnize marriages. In Oregon, a ceremony of some kind is required to make your marriage official. A Civil Ceremony is a low-cost, secular option.

• Fees: The fee for a Civil Ceremony at the Clerk’s Office is $117. Payment is due at the time of scheduling and is non-refundable. We accept cash, check, money order, or credit card (with a 3% processing fee).

• Timing: Each ceremony is given a 30-minute time slot. This includes time to finalize your license paperwork, and have the Clerk or a Deputy solemnize your marriage. If you are more than fifteen (15) minutes late, your ceremony may be canceled. We are unable to delay your ceremony to accommodate late guests.

   

• Witnesses: You must bring 2 witnesses for your ceremony.

   

• Marriage License: You must have a valid marriage license that is effective on the date of your ceremony. If you obtained your license from another county, you must bring it with you to your ceremony appointment.
  
  
  
  • A ceremony appointment cannot be scheduled until a marriage license has been purchased.   

     

• Cancelations: If you cancel or miss your appointment, your fee is non-refundable.
