The Marriage Man Weddings Clergy Officiated New Jersey Ceremony Minister

If you're dreaming of a wonderful wedding day, The Marriage Man helps make dreams come true!

The Marriage Man believes couples should be able to determine the when, where and how of their wedding.

Too often couples trying to plan their wedding ceremony find out "the church is not available for that date," or "you can't use those vows." Not too long ago, one bride-to-be was told she couldn't have "Here Comes The Bride" as part of her wedding music! And, courthouse weddings or a judge's office just don't provide the romantic setting most couples desire and a wedding deserves!

Your wedding is YOUR day! Please take some time and browse through our site---there is a great deal of important and enlightening information in the various areas on the site. See how The Marriage Man can officiate your wedding ceremony and help you make your wedding day just the way you want it!

The Marriage Man

"Have Vows, Will Travel!"

The Marriage Man will work with you to design the vows and wedding ceremony you desire. A brief ceremony or an elaborate ceremony---your wedding day should be the way you want it! If you desire personalized vows, The Marriage Man can also help you find just the words to express the love and commitment you wish to communicate on your wedding day. You can choose from numerous versions in our collection of marriage vows, or design and write your own vows. Your thoughts, your feelings, your words...your special day! (Click Here for an example of the most popular civil ceremony vows selected by many couples, including some optional wording for the vows.) For additional ceremony ideas, please click here. Finally, two of the most popular ceremonies can be found by clicking here!

For a variety of reasons, many couples don't want to plan or wait months or years to be married. Unlike many marriage officiants who will conduct weddings only on Saturdays and require several weeks advance notice, The Marriage Man can sometimes be ready to perform your ceremony with just a few hours notice. Of course, if you want to plan a special ceremony weeks or months in advance, The Marriage Man will be happy to assist you in planning your ceremony to your exact wishes.

Nowadays, it seems that many wedding dates are determined by "availability." Churches are booked years in advance for many dates, and, weddings are sometimes delayed or hurried because several weddings are being conducted one after another on the same day. The Marriage Man will work with you to officiate your wedding on the date and time YOU want! While many officiants will only work on Saturdays, and only before 5 p.m., the Marriage Man is available (unless he has a prior commitment) when you want to have your wedding! Wednesday at 7 p.m.? No problem! On your birthday? Sunday the 15th at 1:38 p.m.? If the Marriage Man does not already have a ceremony scheduled, he'll be there! It's your wedding--you pick the date and time!

If you are planning an "on the beach" or other "on location" ceremony, we can usually provide a CD player and CD of wedding ceremony music, including music to play while guests are being seated; processional music; music during the ceremony; and recessional music.* We have a large library of traditional wedding selections, plus many contemporary selections popular at weddings. Just ask--if you don't have it, we probably do!

*We can usually supply a CD player/music for the ceremony only. You must provide someone to operate the CD player during the ceremony (we will demonstrate and provide directions. We do not supply any music/services for receptions, etc.

**If you are having a professional photographer take pictures, ask us about our Wedding Web Page arrangements.

The Marriage Man will work with you to plan the EXACT ceremony and celebration you want. Talk to us about some of the possibilities! Click Here For Just A Few Options! Also, ask about our special package for "Bride and Groom Only" ceremonies!

There are many reasons more people are choosing not to have extremely large weddings and huge receptions---and money is one of the biggest reasons. The number one goal of The Marriage Man is to provide couples with a happy, joyous, and memorable Wedding Day no matter what your wedding budget. If you can't afford a big wedding, or, if you prefer to put aside some money for more important long-term goals (a car, a house, a family, etc.), The Marriage Man can help you plan a fantastic wedding day---within your budget--- that you'll always cherish! Contact The Marriage Man for a free, no-obligation consultation on how to make your wedding day just the way you want it!

The Beatles sang "All You Need Is Love," and The Marriage Man follows that credo in life. If you have love, you're on the right track to a wonderful life.

Of course, love is different for each and every one of us. The Marriage Man recognizes all love, and believes true love and commitment deserves recognition and commemoration. Although New Jersey has not yet recognized same-sex marriages, New Jersey now allows couples to celebrate legal civil union ceremonies. Click on the link above this paragraph, then contact The Marriage Man for a free, no-obligation discussion of how to celebrate your special ceremony.

Don't just tell your spouse "I'd do it all over again." Prove you mean it and say "I do" again in a romantic celebration of love! We have several marriage reaffirmation ceremonies/packages that will make any anniversary a very special occasion! Here are some sample "Renewal of Vows" ceremonies. For more information on how to have a wonderful "renewal celebration," Contact us for details!

The Marriage Man will gladly counsel prospective couples on the requirements for a marriage license in NJ, DE or PA, including the steps for acquiring a marriage license, upon request. However, most couples will find the general information below will give them a head start in answering most questions they have regarding the process. It will even direct you to a NJ marriage license application form that can be printed and completed by the couple before going to a registrar. If you plan on having The Marriage Man perform your marriage ceremony, he will provide you with the necessary information you will need to complete your license application.

Marriage licenses for weddings in New Jersey are obtained by the bride and groom visiting the Registrar of Vital Statistics in the New Jersey town where either party resides. If one of the parties is not a New Jersey resident, the license can be obtained from the Registrar in the NJ resident's hometown. In either of those cases, the wedding may then be performed in any town in New Jersey. If, however, both the bride and groom reside outside of New Jersey, the license must be obtained in the town where the wedding will take place. Be sure to take an adult witness who knows both of you when you go to apply for the license (both residents and non-residents)

. It takes 72 hours--3 days, before a license will be issued (other rules apply for other states...see below or ask us for info). You will need proper identification and other personal information. You will also need to supply the registrar with the details of your wedding--date, location, time, and contact information for the person performing your marriage. You can get detailed information on applying for a license, including a printable application you can complete and take to the registrar by clicking here. As of this time the total cost of the marriage application is $28 in New Jersey. Here is a website with a directory to local Registrars of Vital Statistics in New Jersey. Please contact me if you need assistance in applying for a DE, PA, or MD marriage license. However, the following link will provide information regarding Delaware marriage licenses, www.co.new-castle.de.us/clerk/home/webpage1.asp Some general information on obtaining a Pennsylvania marriage license can be found at http://dsf.chesco.org/wills/cwp/view.asp?a=3&q=609227 However, don't hesitate to contact me with questions.

After applying, when you return to pick up the license, please inspect it carefully. Anyone can make a mistake, including the registrar's office. Make certain all names and addresses, as well as other identifying info on the license is accurate and spelled correctly. I have received licenses where the names are spelled incorrectly, or where the bride's name is in the "groom" box. Mistakes take much longer to correct after a wedding, so take a few minutes to save a lot of time and aggravation later if there are mistakes. Once you receive the license, it is valid for 30 days. Be sure you do not write on it or sign it. The person performing your marriage will complete the license after the ceremony per each state's requirements. You must present a valid marriage license to be married--do not lose it or forget to bring it to the ceremony. You will also need two adult witnesses to sign your marriage certificate at the wedding ceremony (NJ and DE). If you will not have two witnesses present, notify the Marriage Man in advance. We can usually arrange to have witnesses present for a nominal fee.

The Marriage Man will see that your marriage license will be officially filed with the proper registrar after the ceremony. You will receive a ceremonial copy of your license following the ceremony. However, you may need a certified copy of your license for numerous legal matters following marriage. The Marriage Man will provide you with step-by-step information on how to contact the proper registrar and request a certified copy of your marriage license depending on the state where you celebrate your marriage .

The Marriage Man will be pleased to answer any questions you have about obtaining a license, or any other matters pertaining to your wedding. For additional information on NJ marriage laws and regulations, click here (technical problems with the New Jersey Statute database have recently occurred. You may need to use the "search" field---type or copy and paste in : Title 37 Marriages and Married Persons : to find official New Jersey marriage statutes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: E-mail is the quickest, most reliable way to contact the Marriage Man wedding officiants. I prefer to correspond via e-mail as much as possible. However, I have noticed that a few people who e-mail me have "spam guard" settings on their e-mail that does not allow e-mail to be received in their accounts unless the sender is pre-approved. As a result, I occasionally can not successfully return e-mail to some who request info via e-mail. I answer ALL e-mail in less than 12 hours; if you do not get a reply from me in 24 hours, there is a "glitch" somewhere. Please call (609-206-8936) if you do not hear from me by e-mail in 24 hours.

Also, it is helpful in answering many questions sent to me if I have important information about the bride and groom such as: 1) current residence (city and state); 2) desired wedding date; 3) number of guests (if any) expected at wedding; 4) any other info you feel would be helpful regarding your wedding plans (phone numbers, names of bride and groom, type of ceremony desired, etc.). If you do not wish to include that information in your e-mail, I will still do my best to answer questions, but most of the time I need that info to adequately address the concerns of the bride and groom.
