Where are the Licensed Marriage Officiants?

[0Anon0]

My fiance and I(both locals), decided to get married a while ago. Yay for us, I know BUT we opted for a Warden Office scenario as it is very affordable and just what we want. The closest date is in July this year which is frustrating as this process is being dragged out into what we do not want.

We are making some life changing decisions however, we do not want to move forward with our plans until we are married. So our lives are on hold until we can find a Marriage Officiant.

Those we have come across so far are asking $1000-$3500 TTD to marry us! No ceremony just a meet up where we sign the paper. The warden office is $100 TTD at best and is a civil ceremony. Which would have been perfect if not for the long wait.

Is there anyone who can help us out here or knows someone who can without a long wait???
That outrageous cost is too much for us right now!

Boi u does talk some real chupidness lol

OP, check any of the small Pentecostal churches, most of their ministers would be willing to officiate for a small change.

And congrats, on both your pending marriage and your choice to keep it simple. Too many ppl nowadays keeping weddings, with zero clue what a marriage is about. Seems like you both off to a good start, just maintain what you got.

how that taking so long? because i did the exact same thing and it took about 1-2 months, if so much.....and is not the warden office u have to go, its the Ministry of Legal Affairs...... i think, its after Courts by South Quay there...... and they would recommend a small church to go.....

[cueball1990]

apparently there is only one marriage officer in legal affairs atm in south quay. from what i heard the one in san fernando died recently so there is a massive queue for persons wanting to be married. best you go as someone posted to a small Pentecostal or born again church and ask the pastor to marry you. usually they want a small donation for their services.

How do I arrange a Civil Marriage?
Couples wanting to get married must first give Notice of Marriage in person at a Civil Registry office. This includes those who wish to get married through a religious ceremony in a church. Please follow the link below for Civil Registry office locations.



If you are subject to Immigration Control you must contact the Registrar General at (868) 624-1660 as you will require permission to marry in this country.



Before giving Notice of Marriage you must:

Make an appointment to give notice in person at the registrar's office.
Know the venue for your marriage, such as a registrar's office, church or other location.

You need to bring the following documents to your appointment:

Permission to marry if you are not a National of Trinidad & Tobago.
Evidence of identity - such as a National ID Card, Driver's Permit or Passport.
Proof of address - such as a utility bill.
At least seven days must have elapsed from the date of giving notice before the marriage can take place. The notice is valid for one year.
