The short answer is yes. The longer answer is yes, if you are married and in the DEERS system well before his orders are cut. If he gets orders overseas, the answer may be no. However, they tend not to send junior sailors with dependents overseas, so don't obsess over that. Just wanted to be sure there's no surprises there.
You will likely need to go to him as normally they won't let him take leave to go home to marry. The only exception is during the holiday stand down, when everyone takes leave.

That's exactly what my husband and I did. He went to A School in San Antonio and I went down there one weekend and we got married. If you end up in the same place I can send you the contact info/process! He enrolled me in DEERS and I moved with him when he graduated.

He's going to A school in Pensacola! Now once we are married do I get to live with him in Pensacola where his A school is or do I have to wait for his orders to live with him?

This answer is "maybe". That depends on the length of his school. If you decide to live down there anyway, and have him stay when he can on liberty, be aware when he does get orders, they may not pay for your move from P-cola, but rather from his home of record. It can become very complicated. I would suggest he ask about this once he checks onto his school and gets the first hand policies.
Schools must be over 20+ weeks of school time to authorize brown bagger or Live Ashore status. Hold times do not factor into this.

100% what Anti M said. My husbands A School was under the 20 week threshold, so I waited to move until he had his first set of orders.

When you went to visit, did you stay in a hotel or are you able to stay in the barracks with him?

Always a hotel. Sometimes the hotel on base, but I also used Priceline's Name Your Own Price Tool to save some money. I'm not sure how it works in Pensacola, but in San Antonio he had different phases of liberty so at some points there were curfews

Staying in the barracks is never allowed, so Amber's advice on hotels is very good. I use Trivago or hotels.com. Not sure if AirBnB is affordable there or not.
During the first few weeks, he will be in phase one of liberty, and can only leave base in uniform, with a liberty buddy. Their curfew is pretty early. Phase two, he can wear civilian clothes, and still has a nightly curfew. Once he earns phase three, he can stay out overnight on weekends. He can put in a chit asking permission for you to be his liberty buddy.
