Justice of the Peace Philadelphia – Say "I Do" at Truehart Wedding Chapel

If you're searching for a Justice of the Peace in Philadelphia to perform your marriage, you've likely realized how impersonal a courthouse ceremony can feel. At Truehart Wedding Chapel, we offer a romantic, affordable, and stress-free alternative just outside the city in Glenside, PA. Our licensed officiants provide legally binding ceremonies in a warm and welcoming setting, giving you the personalized touch you deserve on your special day.

What Is a Justice of the Peace Wedding?

In Pennsylvania, the official title "Justice of the Peace" isn't commonly used, but the role still exists in function. Instead, marriages are officiated by judges, mayors, or ordained/licensed officiants – like those at Truehart Wedding Chapel. We provide quick, civil-style ceremonies that are legally binding and tailored to your preferences.

Whether you're eloping, renewing your vows, or getting married for legal purposes such as immigration or health benefits, our team ensures your ceremony is valid, heartfelt, and easy to plan.
