Arizona Prison Weddings: Marrying Your Incarcerated Partner
Is your fiancé incarcerated in an Arizona State Prison, city/county jail, or any other detention center?
Are your hearts still committed to sharing a future, including a genuine legal marriage?
Arizona Prison Weddings℠ is here to help make that happen.
We are Arizona’s trusted source for performing legal prison marriage ceremonies, with more than 40 years of experience performing weddings inside secure facilities across the state.
Who Performs Arizona Prison Weddings?
According to policies, Unit Chaplains do not perform wedding ceremonies for inmates. Arizona Prison Weddings℠ connects you to an available, approved, ordained officiant authorized by the Arizona Department of Corrections to perform weddings within state prisons.
The officiant:
- Communicates easily and clearly with their personal phone, texting, and email
- Arrives early and is appropriately dressed
- Conducts each ceremony with dignity and care
- Follows all security and facility guidelines
- Respects the emotional and legal significance of the occasion
What to Expect from Your Arizona Prison Wedding Ceremony
Your ceremony can be:
- Civil and non-religious, or
- Customary and faith-based, honoring your spiritual beliefs
- Fun, because as public speakers we have personality and a tasteful sense of humor – priceless when stress can be a factor
You can even write your own vows, and we’ll help ensure the ceremony is memorable, legal, and heartfelt — within the limitations of the correctional facility.
Where We Officiate Arizona Prison Weddings
We perform Arizona Prison Weddings at:
- Florence, Eyman, Lewis, Perryville, Phoenix, and Tucson
- Winslow, Marana, Kingman, Douglas, Fort Grant, Yuma, and Safford
We also officiate at City/County jails & holding centers, and at Federal Prison weddings.
No matter the location, we’re ready to travel and committed to supporting your journey toward marriage.
Arizona Prison Wedding Ceremony Fees
Officiant fee-for-service pricing is fair and based on:
- The location of the prison or jail
- Time for travel, security clearance, and performing the ceremony itself
- Administration costs and proper handling/filing of the Arizona marriage license
You’ll receive a clear quote from your officiant tailored to your situation. No surprises.
1. How to Begin the Arizona Prison Wedding Process
Don’t be intimidated by the process. Before contacting us, your first step is to:
- Reach out to the Unit Chaplain at the facility where your fiancé is housed to request Arizona prison marriage forms and instructions for that specific location.
Although the prison Unit Chaplain does not perform Arizona prison weddings, they will assist in processing the request, helping you obtain the marriage license, and coordinating the ceremony date and time.
Your wedding officiant handles the ceremony day-of professionally, respectfully, and legally. Because your ceremony requires two adult witnesses to document the marriage license (signatures required), some officiants can make recommendations for this additional service.
2. Free Consultations for Arizona Prison Weddings
Your journey includes complimentary phone consultations.
We will:
- Discover where you are in the process and the paperwork you have started
- Ask you to provide the name & phone number of your partner’s unit chaplain at the facility
- Answer questions about documents, timelines, and protocols
- Connect you personally to an approved, available officiant who will discuss your preferences to prepare for the ceremony itself
We want you to feel confident, informed, and supported.

“My wife and I wanted to say thank you so much for marrying us and for a wonderful ceremony. Your words were beautiful, and your attention to detail, sincerity, and passion were very moving for all of us who were there. God bless!”
Psalm 142:7
Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.
