Precedure for Registrar's marriage in NJ

[NSK]

Does any one know the procedure for getting married in Jersey City?

I am interested in the simplest possible procedure to get the marriage done according to the laws of NJ and obtain a marriage licence.

I am planning on a reception later and want to keep it separate from the marriage itself..

Go to City Hall, pay fee. It's that simple!

I got married in NJ an year ago. You need to goto your local municipality office/ city hall and register for a marriage license. Both of you need to go to fill forms, sign etc.
A few days later you can pick up the license and get married there itself (a judge can perform the ceremony). After you are married they give you a goodie bag and your certificate
All info is on the web so you can google it and obtain more details.
