$75 and $150 Valentine’s Day Express Wedding Ceremonies
In 2023, we broke a wedding record and married 43 couples in Sam Houston Park! In 2025, we hope to marry 50 plus couples.

The Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park at 1100 Bagby Street has affordable wedding ceremonies in beautiful settings for $75 or $150 at Sam Houston Park on Friday, February 14, Valentine’s Day.

CEREMONY OPTION 1: We are offering express wedding outdoor ceremonies for only $75 for a 30-minute ceremony at the Bandstand or the majestic Jane Ellen’s Tree. Couples must have obtained their marriage licenses in advance.

CEREMONY OPTION 2: Couples can get married at the 1891 St. John Church for a 30-minute ceremony for *$150! Couples must have obtained their marriage licenses in advance.

We can only hold ceremony places for those who have paid in advance, and we will try our best to accommodate walk-ins only if an officiant and ceremony location are available.

Couples who want to renew their vows may also register/participate in either of the two services offered.

Couples must meet the requirements to get married in Harris County in order for the marriage to be legally recognized. Click here to see important information on how to obtain a Marriage License (plan at least 3 business days in advance): Harris County Clerk's Office (cclerk.hctx.net)
