Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Officiant & Ceremony

In Philadelphia: Two officiant services made this list, based in New Castle and Levittown; the three entries below are area congregations, printed in their own labeled block rather than as bookable businesses. This region's real selling point is that it spans three states, and the license story differs sharply across all three. Pennsylvania charges $90 for a regular license, or $100 for a self-uniting Quaker license that needs no officiant at all — the couple marries themselves before witnesses — valid three days after you apply and good for 60 days anywhere in the state, but nowhere else. New Jersey charges only $28 with a 72-hour wait from filing, but if neither of you lives in New Jersey the license is valid only in the exact municipality where you apply, so choosing a venue afterward can void it. Delaware's license runs $70 for residents or $120 for everyone else, needs just 24 hours' notice, and expires in 30 days — the shortest window of the three. No single state's rule covers this whole region, so confirm which one governs your ceremony address before you file.

Churches and congregations

These are places of worship rather than for-hire officiants. Many will marry members of their own congregation, or couples willing to join and complete a marriage preparation course, and some will not marry non-members at all. Several also price the building, the clergy and the musician separately. Ask early what they require of you — policy varies widely between denominations, and between individual congregations of the same denomination.
