How To Get Married In Utherverse
In order to arrange a wedding ceremony and/or reception in Utherverse you must fill out the
Utherverse Wedding Event Application Form. Below are Event Request Guidelines for getting your event in Utherverse:
Weddings:
All types of weddings are permitted in Utherverse and there is no restriction on the type of wedding ceremony possible.
Some ceremonies performed in Utherverse are: traditional, religious, hand fasting, collaring ceremonies, multiple marriages,
group weddings etc. These are only examples of the types of weddings and ceremonies offered in Utherverse;
remember you are only limited by your own fantasy.
Wedding and Reception Application Fees
- 80 rays for your wedding ceremony (this includes the JoP, your wedding certificate, Wedding ceremony setup and support from the Wedding Co-Ordinator).
- There may be additional fees for your Wedding and/or Reception if you choose a privately licensed venue. Prices may vary.
Before your wedding can be approved, all fees must be transferred to the following account: www.utherverse.com/UtherverseEvents
Once your wedding and/or reception fees have been paid, the organization, planning and executing of your event will commence.
Multiple weddings do not cost anymore then a 2 person couple wedding. This is because the people involved are all getting married together.
In the event of a Double or Triple wedding etc, where it is more then one couple getting married on the same day during the same ceremony, each couple must pay 80 rays in order to receive their official certificate and be registered as a Married couple in Utherverse.
Name Changes
Refrain from name changes during the Wedding process as we are unable to alter user names once the intial wedding
application has been received and approved. Note: If you change your name before the wedding the Events Office will
be unable to contact you, as we only have the original name on file.
Furthermore, if the JOP can not find you on your Wedding day due to a name change, there will be no refund.
It is in your responsibility to make sure you can be contacted, found and that you inform the Events Office
of any potential changes.
Waiting Period
Please note there is a minimum 30 day waiting period for all wedding ceremonies and receptions.
All applications must be received no later then 30 days prior to the date of the event.
All approved events will be placed on the Utherverse calendar.
If you desire to arrange a marriage ceremony in less then 30 days the following regulations apply:
- You must seek the approval of an Utherverse Justice of the Peace in order to perform the ceremony in less then 30 days. The JOP that agrees to this arrangement must then notify the Events Office in writing by sending email to events@utherverse.com before the ceremony can be scheduled.
- All wedding ceremony fees must be received before the ceremony can be arranged and approved.
- If you are arranging your wedding in less than 30 days the Events Office will only provide assistance with arranging a public venue for use for the event. You are responsible for arranging your own reception if you select this option.
Ray Tranfers
Please note that we can not issue refunds if you can not be located due to a name change. Ensure that all
your information is up to date and accurate in accordance with the Events Office information.
When you transferring rays for your wedding, ensure that the date of the wedding, at least one name and
the reason for the rays transfer (Wedding, private venue fees ect.) are clearly marked. Failure to do so
may result in delays and lost rays.
Postponements
In the event you need to postpone your Wedding you must email the Events office with at least 48 hours notice to: events@utherverse.com.
Requests received later than 48 hours will not be considered for postponment.
Once your wedding has been set to "On Hold" and you will have 90 days to reschedule. If you requested the use of a
private venue please reschedule well in advance with that venue and inform the Events Office of any changes.
If you are unable to reschedule your wedding in advance, you have the option of settting up a date with your assigned
JoP to get married at any available public venue anytime you and your JoP are available.
All Weddings that are "ON HOLD" are not eligible for a refund.
Wedding Service
Included in the 80 rays fee, is the Utherverse complimentary wedding service. Once your application and
fees have all been received and approved you will be contacted by one of our Utherverse wedding Co-Ordinators
who will assist you (if you wish) in arranging special requests. They are also there to assist you in the overall
design of your wedding ceremony and/or reception. You are not obligated to use the Utherverse wedding service and
can decline this assistance at any time.
Please note: There may be an additional fees to request specific textures for your wedding, photographers, invitations etc.
This is to be arranged directly with the texture designer, photographer or 3rd party retailer and is not the responsibility
of the Events Office.
Venues
Certain venues are privately licensed and permission must be sought from the owner before an event can be held.
This may delay the time in arranging your event. The venue may also be subject to a fee per use for all events.
This fee will determined by the individual owner(s) of that venue. Venues such as Blus, Fever and the Hotel etc.
are public and are not subject to any fees for use of the venue.
All rays for privately licensed venues must be submitted to: www.utherverse.com/UtherverseEvents
*All events placed in the Utherverse Events Calendar are deemed official events and therefore have exclusive rights
to the use of that reserved venue for the duration of the times listed in the calendar.
Note about use of all Venues
Please note: The reservation of venues in RLC for events entitles the person or people renting that venue to use the space for the purpose of their event only. Regardless of the event, all rules and regulations pertaining to Utherverse and RLC must be abided by at all times. For example, if you choose to hold an event in the Bordello where all languages are permitted, then you do not have the right to remove members from that venue during your event for speaking other languages.
Furthermore, this implies that if your event is in a public venue you must respect that both your venue and your event are open to the public. If you would like a private event then it is suggested you reserve a venue that is privately licensed. For example, if you choose to have a wedding in the main street of RLC, you can not expect it to be a quiet wedding, nor can you expect to have everyone booted out of main street for your wedding due to the public nature of the venue.
Billboards
Please visit www.utherverse.com/AdCenter in order to submit your billboard. Rays will be automatically deducted from the account that you use to sign into the adcenter.
Special Requests

- Not all special requests can be honored due to a number of factors, however we will make every effort to accommodate your request
- All special requests must be made at the time of your submission of the wedding request application. Failure to do so may result in your request not being honored.
