Your Guide to an Outer Banks Beach Wedding

At last! It is finally time to begin planning the wedding of your dreams on none other than the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina! Where do you even begin?

The Outer Banks is composed of 200 miles of barrier islands from just below Virginia to Ocracoke Island. Being such a large stretch of land, it can be hard to choose the right place that fits your needs and each town has different rules and regulations when it comes to getting married on the beach. 

Before we get into the different permits and regulations for each town, here are some tips to make your planning process a little (or a lot) bit easier:

Hire a Planner or Coordinator

By hiring a planner or coordinator, they are already well-versed in what is needed for an Outer Banks wedding, no matter where it is. They will also be able to help obtain the proper permits, coordinate with other vendors and to stay on budget. 

Explore

Since there is so much to see and do on the Outer Banks, it is definitely vital that you are familiar with the area to be sure that you love where you get married! A lot of couples that get married here have been vacationing here for years, but others may not be so lucky. A wonderful opportunity to browse different venues and locations is the Wedding Weekend & Expo we put on every year where engaged couples can participate in a 2-day event where they can meet vendors, tour venues and plan their OBX wedding all in one weekend. 

Hire an Officiant

Officiants are great when it comes down to the nitty gritty of actually being LEGALLY married. After you submit your marriage license application, you then have 60 days in the State of North Carolina to get married and sign your Marriage Certificate. An officiant will take care of submitting the signed certificate for you so it is one less thing to worry about after your special day. 

Consult your Rental Agency

If you are planning an event home wedding, be sure to consult them regarding any policies they already have in place. Most require different event insurance fees so it is always helpful to check beforehand!

Obtaining a Marriage License

Some couples may choose to be legally married in their home state but still have their wedding ceremony and reception on the Outer Banks. That is totally okay and may even be easier for the couple! If that isn’t the route for you, the process of obtaining a marriage license in North Carolina is pretty easy. 

First of all, you do NOT have to be a resident of NC to obtain a marriage license here. You can actually submit your application for a marriage license in any North Carolina county, or in some cases, even online. The entire process takes about 30 minutes and there is a $60 fee. Once issued, the license is good for 60 days. You can obtain your license at either the Dare or Currituck County Register of Deeds, or the Hyde County Courthouse. Remember to bring a Photo I.D., Social Security Card or W2, and a Birth Certificate if under the age of 21. You are required to return the marriage license to the issuing county within 10 days after the marriage ceremony. Information for obtaining marriage licenses by county is below:

  • Currituck County Register of Deeds
    • Online Application
    • (252) 232-3297
