For the second consecutive year, the Akron Municipal Court and the Akron Civic Theatre are granting area couples the opportunity to wed in a historical venue on February 14, Valentine’s Day.

Akron Municipal Court’s Administrative/Presiding Judge Jon Oldham and Akron Municipal Court Judge Ron Cable will officiate wedding ceremonies from 10 a.m. to Noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, February 14, 2019 at the Akron Civic Theatre, located at 182 S. Main St.

The Akron Civic Theatre has generously donated space for the event.

Appointments are first-come, first-served and must be scheduled and paid for before February 14. Time slots will not be added once all appointments are booked.  

Prior to the ceremony, couples must obtain a marriage license from Summit County Probate Court. They then must pay a cash-only ceremony fee at the Akron Municipal Court Clerk’s Office in Room 837 of the Harold K. Stubbs Justice Center, located at 217 S. High St. The fee is $25 for those in the court’s jurisdiction, Akron, Fairlawn, Bath, Richfield, Springfield Township, Lakemore and the Summit County portion of Mogadore. There is a $40 fee for those residing outside the jurisdiction.

After paying the fee, couples should take their receipt to Room 901 in the Stubbs building to secure a time slot.

The Akron Civic Theatre has requested couples use the Main Street entrance on the day of the ceremony. No professional photographers are permitted.

For more information regarding scheduling, contact the court’s Chief Service Bailiff Patricia Williams at 330-375-2592.
