Wedding Bells will Ring on Valentine's Day
Wedding bells will ring this Valentine's Day at the Santa Cruz County Government Center when the county's deputy marriage commissioners will perform civil marriage ceremonies throughout the day and evening.
The County Clerk's Office will perform wedding ceremonies in the Redevelopment Conference Room, located at 701 Ocean Street, 5th Floor, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, February 14. The cost of performing the wedding ceremony is $75. Weddings will be broadcast live on the internet via the county's "WedCam" on the County Clerk's website at www.sccoclerk.com
The conference room will be transformed into a romantic wedding room to ensure a magical and memorable ceremony for the couples, thanks to the decorating services of Alexis Party Rental and cookies donated by Pacific Cookie Company. Couples will get to celebrate their vows with a delicious cupcake donated by Sassy Cakes and Cupcakes of Capitola and make a toast with cider thanks to a donation from Costco. Each bride will get to carry a rose thanks to Obie's Floral who is providing flowers at a discounted rate.
Couples must reserve a time by calling 831-454-2060 or by coming to the County Clerk's Office located at 701 Ocean Street, Room 210, Santa Cruz. Ceremonies will be held every 30 minutes. Each couple may have no more than 15 guests. Couples who are late for their scheduled ceremony may have to reschedule for another day.
Couples must have a valid marriage license prior to the scheduled ceremony and have at least one witness present. A traditional marriage license costs $75 and licenses are issued by the County Clerk. To obtain a marriage license, the bride and groom must appear in person with valid identification, complete a form providing personal information, and take an oath.
