I offer a Non-Denominational ceremony at your reserved venue of choice. Whether it’s a Sunset Ceremony, Church Ceremony, Court House, Backyard Ceremony or in a Hot Air Ballon, I would love the honor to be a part of your special day.
I am San Diego based, but will travel all over Southern California, Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, and Riverside County.
I don’t require premarital counseling; I think it’s a valuable step before marriage. I’m happy to refer you to someone that is a certified facilitator for a premarital assessment
Short Notice and Last Minute Ceremony is always welcomed.
California is the only state that offers a Confidential Marriage License which is a convenient and discreet way to get married. Ideal for the couple that prefer to keep their personal lives private. No requirement to share your information in Public records.
Standard Marriage License requires one or two witness signatures. The license may be obtained in any California county and is valid for a wedding anywhere in California.
A Confidential Marriage License does not require any witness signatures. Also the details of your marriage remain private and not release to the public marriage record. One main requirement is the couple must state that they are living together at the time the license is issued and provide the same address.
Requirements for a Confidential Marriage License:
Must be over 18 years of age
Must be living together as spouses
( no time requirement)
Must have proper identification ( i.e. Drivers License/Passport
Must be “free” to Marry
( definition) cannot be legally married or legally have a domestic partnership with another individual. Legally divorced for more than 90 days
I can make vendor recommendations for an experienced wedding coordinator, professional photographer, beautiful bridal arrangements, or a full service wedding package to include chairs, wedding arch, decorations, and music.

Marriage License Service:
I understand with time constraints it’s not always possible for you and your fiance to get to the court house during court hours, or taking the time off to do that may cost more than having me get it for you. I will go to the courthouse and wait in line so you don’t have to. I’ll also handle all your notarization to legally issue your license, and order certified copies of your license which you will need for name changes, health insurance, immigration and much more.
I can obtain a marriage license on your behalf for $150 plus the cost of the license ($85) if you including this with one of our ceremonies!
Same day licenses are an additional $100.
A certified copy is an additional $15 and not included in the packages
