Marriage Services

Full marriage services are provided here - no need to travel to Las Vegas anymore! We issue marriage licenses and perform wedding ceremonies -- you will be legally married on the same day.

Marriage Services on the Same Day

Instant Marriage LA offers couples a nice and simple alternative to the LA Registrar Recorders’ Offices. There is no paperwork hassle – we provide you a marriage license, perform a civil ceremony, file your marriage license with the Registrar Recorder’s office and order a certified copy of your marriage record for you.

Whether you live in California or just visiting from another state or country, we will be able to get you married on the same day. No California or US residency required! Same-sex couples are welcome!

You can either come to our location in Encino (San Fernando Valley) for a civil ceremony or we can travel to your place of choice, deliver your marriage license and officiate your wedding. We serve Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura Counties.

Note: Due to an increased demand for travel weddings our business office hours may vary. Please contact us via phone/text or e-mail to make an appointment before coming.

We provide a marriage license and perform a wedding ceremony on the SAME DAY. It takes about one hour and you will be legally married! On the day of your ceremony you will have an instant proof of marriage and a temporary certificate that can be used for immigration, military benefits, medical insurance purposes, property issues, etc. A certified copy of your marriage record will be mailed to you by the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office within 6-8 weeks from your marriage date. 

We offer fast, reliable and cost-efficient services that include all of the following:

1. Marriage License

There is no need to go to the Registrar Recorder’s office and apply for one. Our wedding officiants are authorized by the Los Angeles County Recorder's office to issue marriage licenses - we make it simple and convenient for you. Learn more…
2. Civil Wedding Ceremony

Are you planning to have a big/destination wedding in the future, but need to be legally married now?

Have you already had your official ceremony and just need to have a legal document? 

Are you eloping and want to keep it simple, or this is just a spur-of-the moment wedding?  

If any of the above applies to you, you can just say "I do" (the minimum legal requirement) for the ceremony part and you will be legally married! No witnesses are needed, it can be as simple as the two of you.  

You are also more than welcome to have a traditional wedding ceremony with flowers/rings and bring guests at our Encino (San Fernando Valley) wedding chapel. Alternatively, we can travel* to your location and have your wedding ceremony at a place of your choice such as your favorite restaurant, beach, private house, etc.

*Surcharges apply for travel weddings. Please visit our rates and fees page for more detailed information.
3. Delivery and filing of your original marriage license to the LA County Registrar/Recorder’s Office

A certified copy of your marriage record is normally mailed to you within 6-8 weeks from the day of your ceremony.

Same Sex Marriages

Instant Marriage LA can issue marriage licenses and perform wedding ceremonies for same sex couples. Moreover, same-sex marriages are now recognized by the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) for tax purposes, and by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for immigration purposes such as applications for a green card, fiance visa, etc. Please visit our same sex marriage page for more information.
Customer Reviews

What Our Clients Say

“Had my ceremony this past Sunday and it was a success. The process was easy and we were married in no time. I would highly recommend this service for those couples who want something small and quick.” 

Wendy S.

“The perfect wedding for us! We were having trouble getting away from our jobs, and decided to just do the deed one Saturday. Maria was fantastic. All the paperwork was carefully explained and we're confident it will be filed correctly. When it came time for her to slip on "the robe", she went from an extremely efficient business person, to a kind, sincere minister.”

Woofy J.

"Maria is the absolute best! She has been a star from start to finish in my wife and I getting married. 

The ceremony was lovely! Short, but absolutely thoughtful and Maria gave us all the freedom we wanted to make it our own. We were very pleasantly surprised by how cute her office was too. It really had a wedding vibe and felt special."

Michael E.
