Just google Lake County marriage licenses, the hours and such are posted online. Yes, it is open Friday. There is also a list of JoPs who do the ceremony on Saturdays. Some even do Sundays.
However, WHO gave him permission? The RDCs do not have that authority. If he does not have a special request chit requesting permission in writing, with signatures, a verbal go ahead means NOTHING. When prepping for liberty, they are given a brief, and one of the rules if do not marry PIR weekend. They sign a Page 13 agreeing to follow the regulations. So if he decides to marry, it may not be with formal permission.
Where is his A school? If it is out of state, he will be flying out Saturday and will not be allowed to go to the courthouse. If it is in Great Lakes, once he checks into his A school on Friday afternoon (TSC), any sort of "permission" from RTC is invalid. He must get it from TSC, a totally different command. They require a class or counseling session and will not sign such a chit until phase two.
Sorry to sound so harsh, but I hate it when no one tells the SRs the actual way things work.

Is he staying in Great Lakes for A School? If he is not, he will not have time to get married on Saturday as he will be flying out. If he is staying in Great Lakes getting permission from RTC will not work. He needs to get permission from the A School he will be attending. Great Lakes A School attendees are specifically told that they are not to get married PIR weekend. He will find all of this out closer to the end of Boot Camp.

Thank you for the replies! He will be staying in Great Lakes for A School. Does anyone know how long it takes to go from phase one to phase two?

Two weeks minimum. Some of the shorter A schools are more relaxed about the no marriage rule (PACT program, BM) but the long schools can be quite strict.
Here are the liberty phase rules:
