Planning a wedding is no easy task. Lots of planning goes into choosing a venue, and finding the perfect venue to accommodate family and friends. Engaged couples also want to find the perfect landscape to say ‘I Do.’ Find out why Hocking Hills is a top destination for midwestern weddings and how to get a wedding license and select a picturesque wedding space.
Wedding License in Hocking Hills
The first step to getting married in Hocking Hills is to get a wedding license. A few things to keep in mind are the requirements for a wedding in Ohio:
- Residents of Ohio but not Hocking County need a marriage license in the county of residence. These are good for 60 days
- Non-residents of Ohio must get a license at Hocking County Probate Court located at 1 East Main Street in Logan, Ohio
- If one person is from Hocking County, Probate Court is the place to obtain a license
To get the actual license, an ID is required along with a Social Security card. Divorce decrees or copies of the deceased spouse’s death certificate are required to issue the license. Both partners must be present to get the license. Only cash is accepted. The fee is $60.
State Park Licenses
Getting married in Hocking Hills is a dream for many. One requirement to keep in mind is obtaining a state park license for state parks including Old Man’s Cave, Ash Cave, and Cedar Falls. Any state park requires a permit that may require a letter addressed to the park manager with the date and time of the wedding and preferred location. Call the park office at (740) 385-6842, ext 250.
