Happy couples can bring up to six people to witness the ceremony, which will be held at the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse in Lawrenceville. You must have a marriage license before the day of the event, and you must pre-register by calling 770-822-5450.

Newly wedded couples and their guests may also participate in a celebratory reception after the ceremony for $15 per person. Pre-registration is also required and can be done by calling the same phone number.
