The Burlington County, County Clerk is offering happy couples the opportunity to exchange their vows at the historic Smithville Mansion again this holiday season. Ceremonies will be performed between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 23.
There are a limited number of appointments available so couples should contact the county clerk’s office as soon as possible to schedule their ceremony. This romantic location has become a tradition of the clerk’s office.
“I am extremely pleased the Friends of the Smithville Mansion and the Burlington County Parks Department have opened their doors free of charge to couples looking for a memorable venue to begin their journey through life together,” Clerk Tyler said.
Built in 1840, the stately mansion is once again being lavishly decorated for the holidays and the Friends of the Mansion are graciously offering use of the billiard room for the ceremonies.
Interested couples must obtain a license from the municipality in which either the bride or groom reside, unless neither person lives in New Jersey. In such cases, the license must be obtained at the Eastampton Municipal Complex. It takes 72 hours to obtain a license, so please plan ahead.
The county clerk performs ceremonies for residents, non-residents and persons attached to the military installations by appointment at his Mt. Holly office.
To schedule a holiday ceremony at the mansion, please contact Megan at 265–5783.
