Denver Clerk & Recorder to host first-ever LGBTQ+ marriage marathon to kick off Pride Weekend

DENVER — The Denver Clerk & Recorder will host its first-ever LGBTQ+ marriage marathon to kick off Pride Weekend.

The Pride marriage marathon will start on Friday at 10 a.m. at the Webb Municipal Building and run through 3 p.m.

Anyone interested in tying the knot can acquire a marriage license and meet with an officiant to get married. No appointments are necessary.

Participating couples will be entered in a raffle for giveaways, including a one-hour photography session, dinner for two at Tarasco's Restaurant, four tickets to the Denver Zoo, gift cards to Leven Deli, Cuba Cuba, Hamburger Mary's and Ollie & Parks, and a coupon to La Brewjula Café.

The Denver Clerk & Recorder's Office has hosted marriage marathons in the past, but never before for LGBTQ+ couples.
