Wedding Officiant in Henrico, VA
Henrico wraps around Richmond on three sides, so a "Henrico wedding" can mean a West End hotel ballroom, a Varina farm field or a living room in Highland Springs. The county is big and varied, and the weddings here are too.
Henrico couples often get their marriage license from the Henrico Circuit Court clerk's office, though any Virginia circuit court can issue it — there's no residency requirement.
Where Henrico couples get married
- Hotels and event spaces around Short Pump and the West Broad Street corridor
- County parks and gardens for small outdoor ceremonies — check reservation rules first
- Family homes and backyards in the West End, Lakeside and Sandston
- Farm and open-land settings out toward Varina in eastern Henrico
- Quiet, convenient meeting spots for quick paperwork weddings
Planning notes specific to Henrico
East End and West End are farther apart than they look on a map. If guests are coming from both sides of the county, or from the airport area, build extra time into your start.
Hotel and event-center ceremonies often have strict room-turnover times. Share your venue's timeline with us so the ceremony fits the window you've been given.
Many county park shelters and garden spaces need a reservation or permit, even for small groups. Lock in the space before you lock in the time.

Your Virginia marriage license
Whatever kind of wedding you're having in Henrico, you are responsible for obtaining a valid Virginia marriage license from a Virginia circuit court clerk's office before the marriage is performed. Both applicants must be at least 18 and present valid photo ID, there is no residency requirement, and the license authorizes a marriage for 60 days from the date of issuance. The marriage must take place in Virginia. After the ceremony the officiant certifies the facts of the marriage and files the record with the issuing office within five days. Confirm current fees, hours and appointment requirements with the clerk's office you plan to use.
