Akron Municipal Court Judges Jon Oldham and Ron Cable will be officiating off-site weddings in February and March.

Details are below:

  • Akron Civic Theatre | 182 S. Main St. in Downtown Akron 
    • Friday, February 14, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
    • February 14 is Valentine’s Day.
    • Judges who will be officiating ceremonies: Judge Ron Cable and Judge Jon Oldham

 

  • Towpath Tennis Center | 2108 Akron Peninsula Road in Akron 
    • Friday, March 14, 2025 from Noon to 1:30 p.m.
    • March 14 (or 3.14) is “Pi Day.” Each couple will be given a pie to enjoy courtesy of The Gardner Pie Company.
    • The theme will be “love and pie.”
    • Judge who will be officiating ceremonies: Judge Ron Cable

If a couple wishes to invite friends or family to witness the ceremony, we ask that the total number of guests be limited to ten guests or less than ten guests.

Appointments are first-come, first-served and must be scheduled and paid for before the date of the ceremony. 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 located at 172 S. Broadway St. in Downtown Akron between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The fee is based on where the couple resides and whether it is in the court’s jurisdiction, which includes Akron, Fairlawn, Bath, Richfield, Springfield Township, Lakemore and the Summit County portion of Mogadore. The fee is $35 for those in the court’s jurisdiction and $50 fee for those residing outside the jurisdiction.

It is suggested to contact the Akron Municipal Court’s Chief Service Bailiff Patricia Williams at (330) 375-2592 to ensure space is still available before obtaining a marriage license or for any further questions regarding scheduling.
