Often people ask if they can get married at the courthouse in Greenville, SC.  “In short, the answer is no.” 

Per the Marriage License Division of the Greenville County Website: “Marriage ceremonies are not performed in the Probate Court office.” 

The Marriage office of the Probate in Greenville requires that couples apply together for marriage licenses. 

There is a 24-hour wait before they can be issued.  Couples, applying at 10:00 am on Monday morning, can have their licenses issued as early as Tuesday morning at 10:00 am.  However, if couples apply on Friday at 10:00 am, they will not have their licenses issued before Monday at 10:00 am.  This is because the Greenville County Court offices are closed Saturday and Sunday.

Upon issue of the licenses, couples can get married immediately if they have made arrangements with a wedding officiant.  However, they must contact an officiant because the court does not officiate marriage licenses.  They only issue them.
