Marin County Civic Center Marriage Services

Marin County performs appointment-only civil ceremonies at the Civic Center on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for a published fee of about $56. Couples may choose the garden or an indoor wedding room that holds six people including the couple.

The indoor six-person cap makes this a clearly bounded intimate format. Garden ceremonies need a weather plan even when the appointment is midweek.

Get the license timeline straight with the county, then book the indoor room if guest count must stay tiny and predictable.
