It depends on the state I believe. Mine in NY years ago didn't cost more than $60 if my memory serves me right (You go to City Hall to register, pays a fee and pick a date and back to get married by the justices-of-the-peace).

Google search for yourself the process and in the state you want to get married in. GL!

no one can give you an exact number, Depends on where and by whom you are being married. It varies greatly from state to state. Google is your friend

I live in SE georgia and I paid less than $25 - and, for the area, this is an average cost.

$50 for the license and $60 to marry at our local Court House

Go to Las Vegas and the price is cheap-fast and have a short honeymoon? Stay away from the casinoes

It was $20 or $30 for the license and $100 for the Justice of the Peace for us.

It's about $50 here in Las Vegas at the court house. Not sure how much those little Chapels go, but we are planning the same, little civil ceremony here in the states and a large ceremony back in Thailand.

Ours was in Chicago. It cost $60 for the license, and then the ceremony was $10. (I should note, parking near the court cost about $50! haha it doubled the cost of our civil wedding!)

[Ketsuban 1,034]

Our license was $50 and the ceremony $65. The Justice of the Peace couldn't see us within two weeks so we researched and found a walk-in chapel in our State.

Variables? County demanded 125 bucks for the marriage license, in the State of Wisconsin had no choice as a resident to go there.

Contacted a federal judge in then next county, he was so honored, refused to take a dime or even a donation for his favorite charity. Then we only had to go down one floor immediately to get our marriage certificates, Was eight bucks for the first one, then five bucks for each extra one. Against out state law to make photocopies. And certainly not a good way to start off with the USCIS by breaking the law. So we got six copies.

For a religious ceremony, have to do that later, most require even up to a one year appointment. Have to keep the USCIS happy, so should be able to receive a dispensation. But really more of a blessing, legally, already married.

Varies with each state, you need to do a google for Colorado.
