Fr Ken Ministers in a Minute
Ministers in a Minute has been performing quality heart-felt ceremonies since 1994. 

We currently perform hundreds of weddings a year in the Memphis area. Often, two and three generations of family members invite us to "tie the knot" in the beautiful caring way, in which Ministers in a Minute has come to be known.  We would love to be a part of this most joyous of occasions in your life, 
Question: Do you ever perform "non-religious" CIVIL CEREMONIES...? 

Answer:  Yes.  We realize that sometimes with a "mixed religion" marriage, or for family, or personal reasons, some couples choose to have a civil ceremony performed.  We are happy to accomodate, and dont consider it a slight at all. Ministers in a Minute has been performing heart-felt ceremonies for over 14 years, and our civil ceremony has, and continues to be, very well received.
   

Question: Can Ministers in a Minute handle my wedding rehearsal?
 

Answer: Absolutely. 
Our talented staff is well-versed in wedding etiquette, and will be delighted to show you traditional ways to orchestrate your event, or can make suggestions for something "different" if you would prefer
.  

Whether we handle your rehearsal, or you tackle this tough job on your own, its important to plan ahead to avoid pitfalls.  With thousands of successful Mid-South weddings,  we can help show you things that havent even occured to you.

The Chambers Marriage is strictly for couples not wanting any type of ceremony at all.  It is a simple solemnization of your marriage license, and filing of same,  after the event.
 

While The Chambers Marriage has been very well received by Memphis couples, The Chambers Marriage is offered
in place of a Justice of the Peace.
(There are no Justice of the Peace' in the Memphis area)  

It is performed by appointment only, in our East Memphis residence; Monday thru Friday during normal business hours.
 Its perfect for couples who just wish to say "I DO" and become legally married.

The Chambers Marriage is normally done with just the bride and groom, but because this is NOT a wedding ceremony, you are limited to two witness'.  For a more romantic touch, please consider 
The Basics package.

Just a reminder...

A Marriage License is a permit issued by the state that allows you to be married.  Whichever option you may choose, you will still need to have a marriage license in order to be married.  For more information on Shelby County Marriage License' please click here.
