Reason 02 of 25 — The license and the ceremony happen in the same visit.

Most couples plan for two errands: the county clerk for the marriage license, then a separate appointment with an officiant. That's two sets of hours, two waits, two drives.

Our officiants are appointed Deputy Commissioners of Civil Marriages. We issue your license on-site and perform the ceremony right after. One visit, start to finish, and you leave with proof of marriage in hand.

Bring valid photo ID for both partners, your birth parents' full names, and — if either of you has been married before — proof that it ended.

Reason 01 of 25 — California has no waiting period.

A lot of couples assume there's a mandatory wait between getting the license and saying the vows. In California, there isn't one. The day you decide is the day it can happen.

We're Deputy Commissioners of Civil Marriages, which means we issue your license on-site and perform the ceremony in the same visit. No county clerk. No second appointment. You leave with proof of marriage the same day.

Open 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Seven chapels across Southern California, and mobile officiants who come to you.

Wedding Rings & Bouquet

The paperwork makes it legal, but moments like this make it yours.
