Minnesota Judicial Branch to offer free Valentine's Day weddings
Posted: Wednesday, January 15, 2025
Couples hoping for a Valentine’s Day wedding will get some help from the Minnesota Judicial Branch, as judges throughout the state offer free marriages on Feb. 14.
This year, 10 district courts will offer free Valentine’s Day weddings—that’s up from just one a few years ago. Hennepin County District Court has offered free Valentine’s Day weddings since 2013, and last year Ramsey and St. Louis County District Courts joined the festivities. The success and sheer joy of the Valentine’s Day weddings prompted other counties to participate in the event this year.“We’re really looking forward to marrying couples this Valentine’s Day,” said Judge Bridgid Dowdal of Chisago County District Court. “Marrying people is one of the highlights of our job,” added Judge Jesse Seabrooks II, also of Chisago County District Court. “Participating in these Valentine’s Day weddings allows us not only to bring joy to couples but also to show people the courts are here for them.”
Couples wishing to have a judge marry them on Valentine’s Day should check the list below and follow the directions for registering for a free wedding. Each courthouse has a limited number of wedding ceremony times, so appointments are required—no walk-ins. Couples do not need to reside in the county in which they plan to marry, but they must have a valid marriage license in that county before a wedding can be performed.
