Judge Yervasi performs weddings at no charge at Baker County Justice Court during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The bride and groom need to have two witnesses for the ceremony, and the witnesses need to be at least 18 years of age. The court clerks can sometimes act as witnesses, schedule permitting. Please let the court know if you are not bringing your own witnesses.

Feel free to bring your camera and flowers.

The bride and groom need to first obtain a marriage license from any county clerk in Oregon. There is normally a three day waiting period, but the clerk can waive that period. A license is valid for sixty days. In Baker County, you may obtain your marriage license from Baker County Clerk at the Baker County Courthouse, 1995 Third Street, Baker City, OR 97814.
