What the venue publishes
Clackamas County's own announcement of the service: "If the couple would like the County Clerk to perform the civil ceremony that can be scheduled at that time. The fee for the civil ceremony is $117 (cash/certified check/money order). Ceremonies are currently being scheduled for Friday afternoons and take place at the Clerk's Office at 1710 Red Soils Ct. in Oregon City."
The source publishes $117 as the fee for this space, not a starting point.
The $117 ceremony fee appears in the county's own news release announcing the service; the county's current "How to Get a Marriage License" page still describes ceremonies as "an additional service and not part of a marriage license appointment" but no longer restates the dollar amount, so confirm by calling the Recording Division at 503-655-8551 before booking. The marriage license itself is $60 and Oregon's three-day waiting period can be waived for an additional $15 (both confirmed on the current county page). Ceremonies are held at 1710 Red Soils Court, Oregon City, and were being scheduled Friday afternoons.
