MARRY ME OF TENNESSEE
About
We specialize in elopements and same day ceremonies both in our Murfreesboro chapel (25 person max capacity) or at a location/venue of your choice with advanced planning.
I am licensed through my local church so I meet TN state requirements and there is no gray area for the legality of my ordination as there is with some officiants who were ordained online or by an online organization. That being said, I offer both religious and non-religious ceremonies and we are proud to support marriage equality.
We have been a Rutherford County Ruthie's Award finalist for the past 4 years for favorite officiant/planner and for the past 2 years for favorite venue.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Some customers walk in without an appointment and get married on the spot while other customers plan their rehearsal and ceremony months and months in advance. All phone/office consultations are free in our Murfreesboro chapel and you will have unlimited access to us via phone call, text, or email.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been involved in the wedding industry part time since 2006, and in the spring of 2015 launched MARRY ME OF TENNESSEE as a full-time officiant and small venue for ceremonies only (no reception facilities). I have performed literally thousands of ceremonies.
I am licensed through my local church for women's ministry. Because I am ordained by a physical brick and mortar location and not an online organization, I meet the requirements of TN State law to legally perform ceremonies.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Weekday ceremonies in our Murfreesboro chapel start at only $100 for 0-5 guests, $150 for 6-15 guests, and $250 for 16-25 guests. Weekday evenings in our Murfreesboro chapel will add $50 to any of the guest counts listed above and weekend ceremonies will add $100.
Off-site ceremonies in Rutherford County start at $300 and if you wish to add a rehearsal, those fees start at $125. Extended counties are slightly more.
We accept cash, debit/credit card (3.5% merchant processing fee automatically added by merchant processor), Venmo or CashApp. We do not accept checks.
We will always need a marriage license that has been issued from a TN County Clerk's Office and is no more than 29 days from issue date together with a government issued photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID, visa or passport.
How did you get started in this business?
My first "toe in the water" was helping coordinate my best friend's daughter's wedding. The bug hit me. Not long after, I catered the reception for my children's babysitter. Then, I began officiating ceremonies. It has been one of the best choices I've made.
When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life!
What types of customers have you worked with?
We welcome anyone and everyone who wants to be married. We have married people from all walks of life, everyone from college students to professional musicians and world series winning athletes.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Make certain you are comfortable with who you choose as an officiant. Despite the number of guests, or lack thereof, the ceremony itself, particularly the vows, are a raw, intimate moment that comes down to the officiant and the couple saying their "I do's".
Make certain the officiant you choose to marry you is legal to do so in your state!
Dont' save your officiant to be the last vendor booked! Our calendars fill as quickly as your favorite venue, photographer, caterer's or DJ's.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
When you want to be married (date, time of day), where you want to be married, what type ceremony do you have in mind.
