I think it's a state-by-state case. My parents were married by a notary in Florida, where notaries can indeed perform marriages (this is as of the early 70s--no clue what it is now). In NYS, a notary cannot perform a marriage.
ETA: Judge Google just told me that only three states allow notaries to perform marriages--and Florida is still one of them. Maine and South Carolina are the other two.
