Step-by-Step: How to Get Married in Biloxi, MS

Planning a Mississippi coastal elopement is straightforward when you follow these legal and logistical steps:

1. Obtain Your Mississippi Marriage License: Both partners must apply in person at any Mississippi Circuit Clerk office (the Harrison County Circuit Clerk in Biloxi or Gulfport is most convenient).
2. No Waiting Period: Unlike Louisiana's 24-hour rule, Mississippi has no mandatory waiting period, meaning you can receive your license and get married on the exact same day.
3. Required Documentation: Bring valid state-issued photo IDs or passports, social security numbers, and payment for the license fee (approximately $36–$55).
4. Choose Your Golden Hour Window: We schedule all beach ceremonies 60 to 90 minutes before sunset to avoid harsh midday heat, squinting, and crowded sand.
5. Select Your Dinner/Reception Spot: Celebrate after your vows with fresh Gulf seafood at White Pillars Restaurant, Mary Mahoney’s, or coastal dining along Highway 90.

Planning Your Coastal Elopement

Because weather along the Gulf Coast is mild year-round, autumn through spring offers crisp breezes, low humidity, and breathtaking sunset colors over the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need a permit for a beach elopement in Biloxi?
Simple, low-impact ceremonies on public beaches generally do not require heavy permits, but structured setups or specific venue grounds like the Biloxi Visitors Center, The White House Hotel, or Mary Mahoney's require direct reservations. We guide you through exact site requirements during planning.

Can we include family members in our Biloxi package?
Yes, y'all can invite up to 15 guests. To maintain the quiet, unhurried nature of our coastal packages, groups larger than 15 are classified as full weddings, which we do not host.

What happens if it rains on our beach ceremony day?
We monitor coastal radar closely. We keep flexibility in our day-of timeline to shift ceremony start times around passing rain showers, or utilize sheltered architectural backdrops like covered hotel porches. For light rain, clear umbrellas look incredible in photos.
