Ministers, Officiants, & Friends:

As we continue to navigate changing policies on private events and large gatherings, it's more important than ever to stay focused and organized. Whether you’re officiating an intimate microwedding or a bare-minimum elopement this season, be sure to utilize your free downloadable Officiant Timeline and Checklist!

Speaking of timelines, we're aware of the ongoing issues in Tennessee, and have provided a brief update regarding the state's discriminatory anti-ordination law, along with answers to our ministers' recent questions and concerns.

Even though weddings will continue to look a little different for awhile longer, we urge you to stay safe, take care of each other, and hang in there!
 

   

 

Where we're at: It's been nearly two years since Tennessee's discriminatory anti-ordination law SB 1377 / HB 0213, and the ongoing case against it still hasn't been decided.

 

"Can AMM Ministers still perform marriage in Tennessee?"
YES! Online ordinations are still recognized in Tennessee, and AMM Ministers can still legally perform marriages in the state!

"What if I'm turned away at county offices?"
Download a copy of Judge Crenshaw’s order before filing a marriage license or meeting with a county clerk, to avoid any difficulties.

"What if my couple is denied a marriage license?"
Contact us immediately if this happens, and we will send you a letter from our lawyers stating your rights as recognized ministers, which you or your couple can provide to the clerk.
