Marriage Services on the Same Day

Yes, you can get married in Los Angeles the same day! No need to travel to Las Vegas for a quick and easy wedding ceremony.

We are wedding officiants authorized by the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office to issue marriage licenses - we make it really easy and convenient for you. At our office you can walk in together and be legally married within an hour. We can issue a marriage license and perform a wedding ceremony either at our boutique wedding chapel in Encino, CA or at the place of your choice (your house, restaurant, beach, or other venue).

Same sex couples are welcome!

We offer a nice and simple alternative for couples who want to get married quickly and easily. Just call or text us at (818)477-7485 and we will be happy to help you. These are the benefits of using our services:
  • Time efficient - it takes about 45 minutes and you will be legally married;
  • Instant proof of marriage and temporary certificate is available on the same day - can be used for any state or federal purposes (insurance, green cards, military benefits, etc);
  • No need to go to the LA County Recorder's Offices which are overcrowded and do not offer same day marriage services;
  • No state or US residency required - we can get you legally married as long as you have the required documentation;
  • Apostile Service is available if you need to use your marriage certificate abroad;
  • No witnesses necessary;
  • No hassles - we will handle all of the paperwork for you;
  • No dresscode;
  • Open 7 Days a week, available on short notice.

Our services include all of the following:

1. We issue you a marriage license.

There is no need to go to the Los Angeles County clerk's office and apply for marriage license. Our wedding officiants are authorized by the Los Angeles County clerk's office to issue marriage licenses - we make it really easy and convenient for you. Just call and make an appointment - we are available on short notice!

As a comparison - if you would like to obtain a marriage license through the LA County Clerk's office you will need to make an appointment at least a few weeks in advance. Now, during post-COVID times, they don't offer walk-ins as they used to do in the past. Once you have your marriage license you can schedule a wedding ceremony for which you have to go back there again. It is simply impossible to get married on the same day if you do everything through the LA County Clerk's office. 

If you use our services we can issue you a marriage license and perform your wedding ceremony within an hour. We will also guide you through the process of filling out all of the forms and providing the correct documentation.
2. We perform a civil 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. Please visit our rates and fees page for more detailed information.
3. We file your original marriage license to the L.A. County Registrar/Recorder’s Office and order a certified copy of your marriage record. 

A certified copy of your marriage record will be mailed to you by the L.A. County Office after your marriage is recorded - usually within 6-8 weeks from the day of your ceremony.
