How to get legally married at Burning Man

There are plenty of wedding officiants who attend Burning Man, so you can ask around, send a message to *[email protected]*, or post a message on the e-playa to find someone.

When it comes to planning the ceremony and after-party, you can get creative! You could plan your wedding for a Thursday or Friday and invite everyone you meet in Playa. You can also find a camp that serves dessert, talk to fire spinners, and grab some champagne. Don't forget to talk to all your vendors in advance and touch base again 2-3 weeks before the event.
