Weddings Officiated by the Mayor 

Mayor Joseph Galea is pleased to officiate weddings for any couple desiring to marry in the State of Ohio. According to the Ohio Revised Code, Mayor Galea is authorized to conduct wedding ceremonies anywhere within the state. There is no charge for this service. Weddings can take place at a location of the couple's choosing, subject to travel distance and the Mayor's availability. The Monroeville Municipal Complex, the gazebo at Commons Park, or the riverside and shelter houses at Marsh or Clark Parks are available for weddings at no cost. Couples have the option to compose their vows if they wish. Wedding ceremonies are contingent upon the Mayor's availability, as well as the availability of the MMC or shelter houses.

To arrange a wedding, please reach out to the Mayor via email, [email protected]. Couples do not need to be residents of the Village; however, Village residents are given priority in scheduling. An Ohio marriage license, valid on the day of the ceremony, is necessary. It is the couple's responsibility to secure this license. The license can be obtained from the Probate Court in the county where at least one of the spouses resides. Village residents should acquire their marriage licenses at the Huron County Probate Court, located at 2 East Main St., Room 106, Norwalk, OH 44857 (ph: 419-668-4383). Couples from out of state wishing to marry in the Village must also obtain their marriage license from the Huron County Probate Court.
