Doña Ana County government offices hosting Romance on the Rotunda.

The Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office, along with the county probate judge’s office, announced that wedding ceremonies will be performed at the Doña Ana County Government Center on Valentine’s Day during Romance at the Rotunda.

Couples must first complete a marriage application which can be done online at https://donaana.nm.publicsearch.us/.

An appointment must be scheduled next, which is when the license will be issued – both applicants must be present. People will need to schedule their ceremony for Feb. 14 during offered timeslots.

Marriage licenses are $25, but the Romance at the Rotunda ceremonies are free of charge.

Couples are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes before their ceremony to check in outside room 113 at the county building. Probate Judge Judith Ann Baca, Chief Deputy County Clerk Caroline Zamora and Deputy Clerk Brandi Delgado will serve as officiants throughout the day.

A collective wedding ceremony will be held at 4 p.m. on Valentine’s Day for those who are not able to schedule an earlier timeslot or miss their appointment. Couples must complete the application process and receive a blank marriage license before 3:30 p.m. to participate.

People are encouraged to bring bouquets, veils, rings, personalized vows, cameras and other sentimental items with them for the ceremonies.
