Notary Publics to Officiate Your Tennessee Wedding
Tennessee is one of the few states that allow notaries to officiate wedding ceremonies. The benefit of having a notary perform your wedding is that they will travel to your location.
Your Venue, Not a Courthouse
Where a judge or other public official might marry happy couples in a courthouse wedding, and religious figures will officiate weddings in chapels and other places of worship, a notary will go to wherever your chosen venue is.
We provide mobile notary services in Tennessee, including weddings. With a large network of reliable notaries, you can find a wedding officiant for your special day quickly. Our notaries are even available for last-minute marriage ceremonies, such as an elopement, in Tennessee.
Wedding Day Requirements in Tennessee
In Tennessee, any of the following can officiate your wedding: an ordained minister, preacher, rabbi, or other religious leader, members of county and municipal legislative bodies, speakers of the Senate and House of Representatives, the governor, mayors, judges, county clerks, law enforcement and military chaplains, and Tennessee notaries.
Before you can get married in Tennessee, you and your partner will need to visit your local county clerk's office and apply for a license. Bring your personal identification documents, such as a valid driver's license, passport, and birth certificate. Once the license is issued, you can get married right away; there's no waiting period for marriages in Tennessee. The license does expire after 30 days, so be sure to get it within one month of your wedding date.
In Tennessee, you can have a civil ceremony or a religious ceremony for a wedding or elopement. Both are legal, and in either situation, it's up to you who you choose to act as your wedding officiant.
Wedding Services for Tennessee Marriages
Your Tennessee notary wedding officiant will handle all the essentials of your marriage license. The officiant will ask you to present the license, confirm that the document is valid, help you fill it out, and sign the license and fill out their information.
Once all the signatures are complete, the license has to be returned to the county clerk within three days after the ceremony to make the marriage legal. For an additional fee, your wedding officiant notary can return the license for you and ensure it's filed on time, letting you bask in your blissful post-wedding moments without having to stress about paperwork.
Notarial fees for weddings in Tennessee: ceremony cost $140, courier fee (if applicable) $25 minimum, plus reasonable costs for travel to your wedding venue.
Your notary can also come to your wedding rehearsal so you can practice saying your vows before your wedding day. Take one of the most important tasks off your list and book a notary public from Superior Notary Services today.
