Making It Official: On-Site Notary Services

Getting married in Alabama is refreshingly straightforward. Since 2019, the state no longer requires couples to apply for a marriage license or have an officiant perform a ceremony. Instead, the legal side of marriage comes down to one simple document: the Alabama Marriage Certificate.

To be legally married, all that’s required is for both partners to complete and sign the official form, have it notarized by a licensed Alabama Notary Public, and submit it to the probate court within 30 days. There’s no need for a minister, judge, or formal officiant. Your ceremony is entirely up to you—whether it's traditional, modern, or something in between.

At Gabrella Manor, we offer on-site notary services to help make this process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our staff notary can complete the legal portion of your wedding right here at the venue, so you won’t need to worry about courthouse visits, scheduling outside appointments, or last-minute paperwork issues.

Your wedding coordinator will walk you through the steps ahead of time, making sure everything is prepared. On the day of your wedding, our notary will be available to finalize your documentation with professionalism and care.

Whether you’re planning a large celebration or a private elopement, we’re here to help every part of your day feel seamless—from your vows to the legal signature that makes it official.
