Looking for a Courthouse Wedding in Dallas? There’s Another Way.
A simple, intimate alternative to a courthouse wedding for couples who are ready to get married without turning it into a major production.
Maybe you searched “courthouse wedding near me,” “Justice of the Peace wedding Dallas,” or even “where can we get married today in Dallas?”
Maybe you already have your Texas marriage license sitting on the kitchen counter and you’re wondering:
Okay…what do we do now?
Or maybe you started looking for a courthouse wedding, discovered that courthouse schedules don’t always work with your schedule, and realized you really don’t need a courthouse at all.
You need someone authorized to marry you — and a simple place to make it official.
That’s exactly what we do.
Dallas Wedding Officiants and the Courthouse Wedding Chapel of Dallas specialize in simple, intimate wedding ceremonies for couples who want the convenience of a courthouse wedding without making their wedding day feel like another government appointment.

Courthouse weddings are popular for a reason.
They’re simple. They’re affordable. They don’t require months of planning.
You don’t need 100 guests, elaborate decorations, seating charts, catering contracts, bridesmaids, groomsmen, or a DJ.
Sometimes two people simply want to get married.
We love that.
Dallas Wedding Officiants takes that same simplicity and builds an actual wedding experience around it.
You bring the person you’re marrying.
You bring your marriage license.
We handle the ceremony.
Want rings? Bring them.
Want a few family members there? Choose a ceremony package that fits your guest list.
Want to keep it just the two of you? That works too.
You don’t have to plan a miniature traditional wedding to make your marriage ceremony feel meaningful.
“We Already Have Our Texas Marriage License. Now What?”
Perfect.
You’ve already completed one of the biggest steps.
Once you have a valid Texas marriage license and have satisfied any applicable waiting-period requirements, the next step is having your marriage solemnized by someone legally authorized to perform the ceremony.
That’s where Dallas Wedding Officiants comes in.
Our process is intentionally straightforward:
- Choose your ceremony package online.
- Select an available appointment time.
- Bring your marriage license to your ceremony.
- Get married.
No lengthy consultation.
No complicated planning process.
No wondering who you’re supposed to call next.

Looking for a Justice of the Peace Wedding in Dallas?
Many couples assume they need a judge, Justice of the Peace, or courthouse to get legally married.
You need a valid marriage license and an authorized person to perform the marriage ceremony.
So if you’ve been searching for:
- Justice of the Peace wedding Dallas
- Courthouse wedding Dallas
- Courthouse wedding near me
- Someone to marry us in Dallas
- Wedding officiant near me
- Small wedding ceremony Dallas
- Same-day wedding Dallas
- Marriage license ceremony Dallas
You may already be looking for exactly what Dallas Wedding Officiants provides.
We offer an alternative to the traditional courthouse experience while keeping the process simple, affordable, and focused on what actually matters:
Getting married.
Can We Get Married With Just the Two of Us?
Yes.
If your ideal guest list is:
- You
- Your future spouse
That is absolutely a wedding.
For couples who want a private, couple-only ceremony, we offer simple options designed specifically for that experience.
If you would rather bring parents, children, or a few close friends, other ceremony packages allow additional guests.
You don't need a large wedding to have a meaningful one.
Do We Need Wedding Rings?
No.
Rings are traditional and symbolic, but they are not what makes you married.
Bring rings if you want to exchange them. Skip them if you don’t.
Either way, we’ll guide you through your ceremony.
Do We Have to Write Our Own Vows?
Absolutely not.
In fact, this may be one of the most relieving things we tell couples.
We already have vows.
If you’ve written something personal and want to share it, wonderful.
If standing in front of another person and trying to remember a paragraph makes you want to reconsider the entire wedding, don’t worry about it.
We’ll guide you through the ceremony and tell you what comes next.
You don’t need to memorize anything.
You don’t need to perform.
You need to be present.
Can We Personalize Our Ceremony?
Yes.
Depending on the ceremony option you choose, your ceremony may include elements such as:
- Personal vows
- Traditional vows
- Scripture
- Prayer
- Readings
- Ring exchanges
- Bilingual elements
- Cultural traditions
- Religious traditions
- Family acknowledgments
- Other meaningful ceremony elements
Some couples want something short and meaningful.
Some want a more traditional ceremony.
Some want their faith incorporated throughout.
Some tell us: “Keep it short and get us married.”
We understand all of those approaches.
Choose the ceremony experience that fits you instead of trying to fit yourselves into somebody else’s idea of what a wedding is supposed to look like.
Religious, Nonreligious, Interfaith or Somewhere in Between?
We work with couples from many different religious, cultural, and personal backgrounds.
Your ceremony can include scripture, prayer, and religious language.
It can be completely secular.
It can incorporate traditions from more than one faith or culture.
It can also simply focus on marriage, commitment, and the life you’re choosing to build together.
Marriage isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your ceremony doesn’t have to be either.
Already Have Your Marriage License?
Choose the ceremony that fits you, select an available appointment, and reserve your wedding online.
Book Your WeddingHow Does a Texas Marriage License Work?
You obtain your marriage license from a Texas county clerk.
Couples regularly come to us with licenses issued by counties throughout North Texas, including:
- Dallas County
- Collin County
- Denton County
- Tarrant County
- Ellis County
- Rockwall County
- Kaufman County
- And other Texas counties
After obtaining your license and satisfying the applicable legal requirements, you schedule your ceremony with an authorized officiant.
At your appointment, we perform the ceremony and complete the officiant portion of the marriage license.
We handle getting you married.
Can You Come to Us?
Yes.
Dallas Wedding Officiants also offers mobile wedding ceremonies for couples who want to get married at another location within our service area.

Absolutely.
Hotel
Yes.
Restaurant
Potentially, with the property’s permission.

What If We’re Already Legally Married?
You can still have the wedding ceremony you want.
Couples have private legal ceremonies before larger celebrations for many different reasons.
Others were legally married previously but never had the ceremony they envisioned.
A symbolic ceremony or vow renewal allows you to celebrate your marriage without creating another legal marriage.
You can still have vows.
You can still exchange rings.
You can still walk down the aisle.
You can still have the moment.
What Does a Simple Wedding With Dallas Wedding Officiants Actually Look Like?
It’s probably easier than you’re imagining.
You book your appointment online.
You arrive for your scheduled ceremony.
We get everyone situated.
When it’s time, we begin.
Depending on your ceremony package, there may be a welcome, a few words about marriage, vows, a ring exchange, scripture or prayer, and then the words everyone has been waiting to hear.
You’re married.
Take some pictures.
Celebrate.
Go to dinner.
Head to your reception.
Leave for your honeymoon.
Go home and order pizza.
Whatever happens next is entirely yours.
The important part is that you’re leaving married.
Why Couples Choose Dallas Wedding Officiants
Because simple and meaningful are not opposites.
Dallas Wedding Officiants was built around couples who don’t necessarily want the traditional wedding machine.
Maybe you’re watching your budget.
This may be a second marriage.
Maybe you’re blending families.
Maybe you’re planning a larger celebration later.
Maybe you’re private people.
Maybe you’ve been together for 15 years and finally decided:
Let’s do this.
Or maybe you care more about being married than having a huge wedding.
We understand.
Our job isn’t to convince you that your wedding needs to be bigger.
Our job is to make the wedding you chose feel like it matters.
Do You Offer Tours?
Our chapel is designed for simple, appointment-based ceremonies, so we do not offer tours or venue consultations.
Everything couples need to make a confident decision is available online, including current photographs of the space, ceremony options, guest allowances, pricing, and available appointment times.
That approach is part of our nonprofit mission.
We want couples to have access to a meaningful wedding ceremony without feeling pressured into a larger, more complicated, or more expensive experience than they want.
By keeping the process simple and putting the important details online, we can focus our time and resources where they matter most: creating welcoming, dignified ceremonies and keeping our services accessible to the couples and families we serve.
Choose the ceremony that fits you.
Select your appointment.
Bring your marriage license.
We’ll take care of the wedding.
