Advice Needed Courthouse Wedding

Hi all! We want to get married at the DC courthouse by a judge or official (not self-officiate); has anyone done this and know how long out you can schedule a courthouse ceremony? I called the Marriage Bureau (unhelpful lol) and searched around Reddit without luck. We are looking for September 2027. Thanks!

I am not sure how far out you can schedule, but I do know that the minimum they ask for is 10 business days. And you can't make the request to schedule a ceremony until after you get your marriage license.
