Wedding Officiant

Marriage License Service

I understand with time constraints it’s not always possible for you and your fiancé 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 or $85 if you include 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

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.

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.
