Planning an OCMD Wedding
During your wedding planning process, there are a few details you’ll need to arrange in advance:
- Make your ceremony official by obtaining a marriage license from the Worcester County Circuit Court in Snow Hill, MD. Call 410-632-5500 for assistance.
- If you’re planning to arrange a beach ceremony, call the Ocean City Mayor's Office at 410-289-8931 or complete the Town of Ocean City’s form here.
-You’ll need to provide your own officiant since Ocean City doesn’t have a Justice of the Peace.
- If one of your guests needs assistance getting across the sand for your beach ceremony, Ocean City offers complimentary beach wheelchairs. Borrowed beach wheelchairs are allowed for use for three consecutive days in a row and you must also be able to load the non-collapsible chair into your SUV or truck. The chairs are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so call ahead as soon as you’ve locked in your date or check with your accommodations to see if they have any! You can also checkout Sandhelper who offers electric beach wheelchairs that can cruise across the sand.
Vendors, Venues, + Accommodations
One of the largest parts of wedding planning is selecting your vendors, venues, and accommodations. Luckily, Ocean City has a few bridal events each year where you can meet face-to-face with a variety of vendors face-to-face in one setting to make your planning process seamless, cost-effective and efficient:
