JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
The Town Clerk is available for this service by appointment only.
Marriages are performed in the office of the Town Clerk, upon
request. Fees for this service are mandated by the State: a
maximum fee of one-hundred ($100) dollars to solemnize a
marriage within the JP's home community, or a maximum of
one hundred and fifty ($150) dollars if the ceremony is
performed in any other municipality in the commonwealth by
a Wareham Justice of the Peace.
Justices of the Peace are allowed to charge patrons for
prenuptial counseling conferences, rehearsals and other
special requests by the couple whose marriage is being
solemnized; provided, however, that the amount of these
additional charges must be disclosed in writing to the couple
whose marriage is being soleminized at least forty-eight hours
before the rendering of these services. Justices of the Peace
are precluded from charging additional fees for traveling, or
for providing flowers, music, photographer, a location where
the ceremony takes place or an unofficial certificate of marriage.
