What This Means for Wedding Vendors
Every marriage license filing represents a couple who hasn't hired their vendors yet. The typical timeline from filing to wedding day is 30 to 90 days — which means right now is the perfect window for photographers, florists, caterers, DJs, venues, and planners to make first contact.
Key takeaway: Texas leads in recent filing activity with 10,856 new filings in the last 30 days. Nevada and Indiana round out the top three.
