MARRIAGE CEREMONIES

    Georgia law allows Magistrate Judges to perform marriage ceremonies within the State of Georgia.  In order to arrange a marriage ceremony to be performed by a Magistrate Judge, the parties must first have a marriage license which may be obtained from the Probate Court.  After the marriage license has been obtained, the parties will need to schedule a time for the ceremony by contacting the Magistrate Court at (706) 868-3316.  Ceremonies are free between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Thursdays.
