They had a backdrop of balloons
Kathy M.

My review is extremely super late! Like 5-6 years late. But I wanted a fast almost like "Vegas wedding chapel" style. I came across this place! Highly recommended! Very professional and fast! We wanted our wedding to be on our anniversary (Veterans day). They can come to you, or you can go to them. Now, we got married during the pandemic so it was very limited to what they can actually offer at their location. We brought in tripods to set up our phones to do a virtual wedding. I had Facebook live and my husband had zoom on his. This allowed all of our friends and family to attend from near and far. We got there at 1030am to set up and sign the documents. Then the ceremony started at 11am and finished at 11:11am! It did not take us 1 hour to get married, took us longer to set up than it did for the whole process lol. The BEST part is they do EVERYTHING that deals with paperwork for you! During covid, that meant everything because I didnt have to worry about going to file at the county, or deal with people. I know my sister-in-law got married at the same place and so did another colleague from work after we did.

I've never felt so crazed and nervous as today. The feelings I've had prior to this and the experiences I've felt today are beyond wonderful and with yenmin has been truly amazing

Happily Married!
Becky G.

We had an amazing experience with 1 Hour Marriage! Yenmin was absolutely wonderful and made our ceremony feel so personal, fun, and spontaneous, exactly the kind of couple we are. She made us feel comfortable from start to finish and turned our special day into such a memorable experience. We couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us. We absolutely loved every moment and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free and meaningful wedding experience. Thank you for making our day so special!

The newlyweds!!
Rick B.

Getting married was so easy!!! Staying married is a little harder. But 1 Hour Marriage took the stress of getting all the forms done right and the ceremony etc. I'd like to say I'd come here again. But I'm hoping this is the last one! So let's say I would recommend if your looking to tie the knot quicky and easily.

See all

From…read morebeginning to end, everyone at the chapel was so kind, patient, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our ceremony special. Our wedding was especially emotional and meaningful to us because we chose to have a small ceremony so that our beloved dog, Benji, could be there with us. The entire team understood how important that was and helped make the day feel so personal and full of love. Every little detail felt thoughtful, and we never once felt rushed. One of the most special things they did for us was accommodate a private first dance after our ceremony. It was such a simple request, but it became one of our favorite moments of the entire day. They even captured it on video for us, including a beautifully edited clip that we will treasure forever. Having that memory to look back on means more to us than I can put into words. A special thank you to Reverend Dave, Zaid, our photographer Serj, Daniel, and everyone else who helped make our day what it was. You gave us so much more than a wedding ceremony -- you gave us memories with our little family that we will have for the rest of our lives. Our day was truly "Benji-blessed," and we will forever be grateful that we chose this chapel for such an important moment in our story.

It was like she knew us and our story for the beginning it was personalized that both us were brought to tears! My family could not stop raving about how beautiful the chapel was and how no one expected it to be that nice inside and honestly it is it looks like a very high end wedding very luxury!

Tess and Dan are two absolutely genuine, loving, and caring people that went well above and beyond to guarantee my wife and I the type of ceremony we had only intended! A very close, intimate, and small ceremony amongst our closest friends and family including our son (our little terrier mix Pazuzu) was all that we wanted, and Tess and Dan more than delivered. From the beautiful aesthetic of the house inside and out based on all of the love, passion, and hard work that they themselves put into consisting of all the woodwork, metal crafting, and landscaping, to how genuinely accommodating both Tess and Dan were and are. Though small and intimate was the type of ceremony my wife and I were going for, our party of invitees was rather large. Because of this, both the inside chapel and outside barn was unable to accommodate the size of our party in one ceremony. Instead, Tess and Dan worked with us and decided to offer us to have two back-to-back ceremonies! Something they had never done before! One for our friends inside, and the other for our families outside; and the turnout was absolutely AMAZING, and we could not have asked for anything more! If a Vegas style elopement or micro-wedding is what you have in mind, do not waste the opportunity on having it here at the Old Brown House. Because this is not your typical, boring, outdated, and unfashionable setting. Tess and Dan are two beautiful people that have put a lot of time, effort, and love into this house that you will be left feeling nothing short of elated and gratified. Endless thanks, Tess and Dan!

We chose the perfect officiant for our wedding Fredrick V. James aka RICK JAMES :)…read more He was the perfect fit for us. We knew from the beginning he was reliable, professional, and a positive energy. Before the wedding we spoke and he made sure to get to know us so that our ceremony was tailored to us.

*as of 10/9 this situation has not been resolved and alan has yet to refund a dime*…read more posting my experience to yelp to protect and warn all future couples from using this horrendous company. IN MY EXPERIENCE, if I could give zero stars I would. Our experience with great officiants was horrible from start to finish. Their office is incredibly unorganized, had to re-explain to us how to fill out their own application multiple times for the marriage license when all the confusion was due to their incorrect wording on their own application. Second on the wedding day, the officiant Alan shows up with a piece of paper for us to sign which he would mail in. About a week after the wedding I get a notice from the county that there was a giant red stain on the application and they couldn't process it. So after all of this me and my husband aren't even married on our wedding day. A day that we can never get back. The one day that all of our family and friends were present in one place to witness us. I can never get that back. That was back in June. Now it's almost halfway through September and I never received a license. which Alan promised would be coming in the mail weeks ago. I still don't know if I'm married. I sent great officiants another message expressing our frustration in the situation and their office responds to me with an 800 number and asks me to let THEM know what the delay is about. I want my $800 back. after all of this headache, I'm not even married? and your office can't help me figure out what's going on when you are the reason that we're not married in the first place??? no instead you send me an 800 number and ask me to get back to you about what the delay is. The delay that GREAT OFFICIANTS caused. administrative mistakes aside, the speech that he gave for our ceremony was completely embarrassing and you can tell that he made zero effort. He kept mentioning multiple times that my husband and I enjoy eating. Literally mentioned it at least 10 times. It's like he took the one thing that he paid attention to on our phone call that interested us and plugged it into a bunch of blank spaces in some generic recycled speech. do not use the service!!! you will end up having to get remarried and paying for it by yourself months later.
