How Do We Get a Tennessee Marriage License?
To legally get married in Tennessee, you must obtain a Tennessee marriage license before your ceremony. The good news? The process is fairly simple, whether you're local to Chattanooga or traveling in from out of town.
Getting married in Chattanooga?
If you live in Chattanooga or are traveling to Chattanooga from another state, you can obtain your marriage license from the Hamilton County Clerk’s Office here in Chattanooga.
Already live somewhere else in Tennessee?
You don't have to travel to Chattanooga to get your license. You can obtain your Tennessee marriage license from the County Clerk’s Office in the Tennessee county where you live, then bring your completed license with you to Chattanooga for your ceremony.
Your marriage license can be used to get married anywhere in Tennessee, so you can take care of this step before your trip and arrive in Chattanooga ready to say, “I do!”
Important: Your marriage license is your responsibility to obtain before your ceremony. We cannot legally perform your wedding without a valid Tennessee marriage license.

When my husband and I decided to have an intimate ceremony, it was such an easy decision to go with this company due to all of the amazing reviews. Securing our date was easy and efficient with quick communication from the coordinator. They truly take care of everything for you once you decide on a location, time, and ceremony script.

"We had the most wonderful elopement possible--and especially during a pandemic. Shaun was professional and easy to work with and met us on the Walnut Street Bridge. She made the process so easy and enjoyable. She even worked with my husband to be to help arrange for our elopement to be Zoomed in with our family. It was a great surprise for me to have them with us. I highly recommend Elope Chattanooga!"
