Wedding Ceremonies are performed Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM, subject to the Clerk’s availability.

A member of the Clerk’s Office will contact you to confirm availability.

On the day of your ceremony, you will bring the marriage licenses that were picked up from the Municipal Clerk, and two witnesses. Indoor ceremonies can accommodate up to 30 guests, and outdoor ceremonies may be available, weather permitting.

***NOTE: Please know that the Atlantic County Clerk’s office only performs wedding ceremonies. We do not process wedding licenses or have wedding certificates on file.
