Marriages at Northern State Correctional Facility (NSCF) in Newport
With regret, I will no longer be available to officiate weddings of incarcerated individuals in Vermont.
I have been contacted many times about officiating a wedding at Northern State Correctional Facility, and have begun the process many times. I have rarely seen the process completed, however, due to the inmate being transferred, one party or the other changing their mind, or a denial from the Commissioner (or their designee, typically the Superintendent of the Facility).
The Commissioner has the absolute authority to approve or to deny the application of an incarcerated individual. This process may take at least 6-8 weeks, and often takes much longer.
In the meantime, I have exhausted many, many hours with phone calls and emails, to no avail.
Once the individual in question is not longer incarcerated, please contact me about your marriage plans ...
