Hi guys! Welcome back to the blog. For today I wanted to do a little round up style post. These are great because it allows me to point you at a bunch of resources all in one place relating to a specific topic. So this blog post round up is going to be all about Salem, MA weddings and engagement shoots. I get asked about Salem weddings and such all of the time so I hope this helps!<\/p>\n

SalemMAWedding.com<\/h3>\n

Of course I am going to link to my own website, right? \ud83d\ude1b For those of you who don’t know, I have a sister site to Things to do in Salem all about weddings and that’s SalemMAWedding.com<\/a>. Head on over there to read my tips and tricks as a former professional wedding photographer as well as vendor and venue highlights. Be sure to also follow me over on Instagram @salemmwedding<\/a> and use the hashtag #witchcitywedding for a chance to be featured.<\/p>\n

Weddings – General info<\/h3>\n

In the top navigation of my website I have a link that says “Weddings<\/a>“. That will bring you to a page that covers some venue options in Salem and more. This is a good starting place for planning your big day!<\/p>\n

The city of Salem<\/h3>\n

If you’re looking for information from the city of Salem regarding acquiring a marriage license, click here<\/a>. According to the city:<\/p>\n

“To apply for a marriage license the couple must come together to the City Clerk\u2019s Office. Both must be at least eighteen years of age or they must obtain a court waiver from the district or probate court. Once the couple fills out the application there is a mandatory three (3) day waiting period to pick up the license. This three (3) day waiting period can only be waived with a court order.<\/p>\n

The Marriage License is valid for sixty (60) days and can be used to marry in any City or Town in Massachusetts.\u00a0Application Fee: $20.00.\u00a0Once you are married and if you need a marriage certificate the fee is $10.00.\u00a0If you have taken your spouses last name you may need a marriage certificate in order to change your name on bank accounts, etc.”<\/p>\n

Pinterest is an absolutely great place to start gathering your thoughts. You can pick color schemes, themes, get tons of visuals for a destination wedding and more. I actually wrote a blog post entirely about using Pinterest to help with your wedding over at SalemMAWedding. To read it, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
