Romantic Wedding in Connecticut

Wedding Blog

Happy bride and groom being declared legally married at the Gazebo in Elizabeth Park Rose Garden, West Hartford, CT.
 

Update: You will need to make an appointment to apply for your marriage license.

You still must get your marriage license in the town / city where you will have your ceremony.

Connecticut’s policy is still that no blood tests are required to get your marriage license. If your coming marriage will not be your first marriage or civil union, you do not have to provide proof of divorce or death of your previous spouse.

You are most likely to be required to download your marriage license application and print it out at home; if you do not have a printer, public libraries will enable you to print there for a nominal charge.

It is possible that the Town Clerk’s Office where you will apply for your marriage license may ask you to apply online without needing to print your application.

When you apply for your license, the Town Clerk or her assistant will have you take an oath as to the truthfulness of the information which you provided on your application.

For each of the Wedding Venues shown on this website, there is information provided for the town / city office where you will apply for your marriage license. If your Venue is not listed there, please use the Contacxt Us Page to tell Ernest that he needs to add it!

PSA: Compressed air at service stations is FREE by CT LAW!

Not directly wedding-related, but this public service announcement may save you trouble in an emergency.

Many people don’t know about this public service all CT gas stations / service stations must provide Free Compressed Air: CT Law summary about Free Compressed Air. Briefly, during their normal operating hours all Connecticut gas stations must provide us with free compressed air for our tires and they must have a sign posted accordingly! Caveat: there is usually a button to press on the compressor control panel, but you may have to ask the attendant to turn the compressor on.

You do not need to insert quarters just to get compressed air! The station may also have a fancier compressor hose that has a pressure gauge or delivers a specific pressure and costs an additional fee.
