Prison Ceremony Information
Currently I am approved for wedding ceremonies at Lebanon Correctional Institution (LeCI) & Warren Correctional Institution (WCI) (all located in Lebanon, Ohio), Butler County Corrections in Hamilton, Ohio, & Pickaway Correctional (PCI) in Orient, Ohio
Each penal facility is different. You will need to contact the Chaplain or the Deputy Warden of Special Services to get the necessary information. Your marriage will need to be approved by the prison before it can take place.

With some prisons you will need to hire a lawyer to represent the groom in order to get your marriage license. The Deputy Wardens in both Lebanon & Warren facilities have been sworn by the Court to represent them eliminating the need for an attorney. They will make sure the information submitted on the license application is correct, just as if you were both at Probate Court. But you must make the initial trip to the Marriage License Bureau in Lebanon, Ohio to fill out the application & pay for the license. I, nor the prison, supply the license.
If you are marrying in another facility, mail or email the clergy questionnaire or other pertinent information to me so that I can provide the prison with all the necessary information for my approval. [Again] Each facility is different & requirements for minister/officiant differ.
As with any institution there may be unforeseen delays so be patient.
We will get you married!
