Online Pre-Application & Pick-Up In Person

The Sevier County Clerk’s Office even offers the ability to do the pre-application online. Please note, however, a Tennessee marriage license is only valid for 30 days from the date of issuance. Therefore, don’t do it too soon. Afterwards, you will need to pick your license up from one of the three offices. If you are looking to fill out the pre-application, you can do so at the Sevier County Marriage License Pre-Application.

Lastly, be sure to bring your Tennessee marriage license to your wedding ceremony. Afterwards, the minister will complete the license and file it with the County Clerk. You will receive your official marriage certificate after the wedding in the mail.

Note for Tennessee residents: You may use a marriage license from the county that you reside in. Afterwards, the minister will mail in your license to be recorded. Depending on your county, you will either then be mailed your official marriage documents or will need to pick them up at your local county clerk. However, you will need to ask your local county clerk for the details, as every county clerk’s office is a little different.

Highly Recommend!

We had a wonderful experience! Adam and Danielle are extraordinarily nice and made the whole process so easy. Our dog is a huge part of our lives and they were wonderful with not only handling him but also included him in our beautiful photos. The private creek side location is stunning and made for a secluded and intimate ceremony. Highly recommend getting married through this company!

Forever Grateful!

We are obsessed with the overall experience going thru this company! Danielle was excellent & made us feel like we’ve all hung out before. Also dealing with one of the windiest days didn’t stop her skills at photography. We couldn’t have asked for or imagined anything else. Honestly five stars isn’t enough! We will forever be grateful for our experience.
