How Does a Pop-Up Wedding Work?
Your Ultimate Guide to Getting Married Fast, Legally, and Beautifully with Get Married Today
Introduction: What Is a Pop-Up Wedding?
A pop-up wedding is a fast, stylish, and legally binding alternative to traditional weddings — designed for couples who want to skip the stress, cost, and months of planning. Instead of booking a venue a year in advance, hiring multiple vendors, and spending tens of thousands of dollars, pop-up weddings allow couples to get married quickly, often on the same day, with everything arranged for them in one convenient package.
Pop-up weddings are legally recognized just like traditional ceremonies. They are especially ideal for couples who need a marriage license and a ceremony done at the same time — whether for personal, legal, or immigration reasons. Think of them as wedding “events in a box” — simple, elegant, and completely turnkey.
At Get Married Today, we specialize in providing pop-up weddings in Southern California — complete with marriage license issuance, a legal ceremony, and optional apostille certification for international use. Whether you’re eloping, on military leave, or handling immigration paperwork, we make it possible to legally marry in just one visit.

The Rise in Popularity: Why Couples Love Pop-Up Weddings
Pop-up weddings are becoming the go-to choice for modern couples looking for something quick, meaningful, and stress-free. According to The Knot, over 40% of couples now consider elopement-style or micro-wedding options — and pop-up weddings fall perfectly in between.
Reasons pop-up weddings are trending:
- Speed: You can get married the same day you apply for a license.
- Affordability: Pop-up weddings cost a fraction of traditional weddings.
- Legal Simplicity: Everything from license to filing is handled for you.
- Privacy: Ideal for couples who want a small or discreet ceremony.
- Aesthetics: Pop-up weddings are still beautiful, styled, and photo-worthy.
📌 Example: A couple on military leave from Camp Pendleton used our pop-up wedding service to get legally married and file for spousal housing in one day. No waiting. No courthouse delays.

How a Pop-Up Wedding Works — Step by Step
Here’s exactly how a pop-up wedding works, especially when you book with Get Married Today:
1. Booking the Date
You contact our team and select a time and date. We offer pop-up weddings 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Same-day appointments are available!
📍 Available in Irvine, Anaheim, San Juan Capistrano, Newport Beach, Century City, West Hollywood, and more.
2. Choosing a Location
You can come to one of our private venues or have us meet you:
- At a beach, park, or scenic overlook
- At your home, hotel, or AirBnb
- In a hospital, courthouse, or immigration detention center
We provide the officiant, setup (if needed), and legal ceremony — all you need to do is bring your IDs and your partner.
🎯 Bonus: We also offer custom locations for an additional fee.
3. Getting the Marriage License
Unlike most services, we issue the license for you. No courthouse visit is necessary.
We are authorized to issue confidential marriage licenses in California, which means:
- No witness is required
- Your marriage record is private
- You get legally married on the spot
📌 Why confidential marriage licenses are the fastest option
4. The Ceremony Setup
Once the paperwork is signed, our licensed officiant conducts the ceremony — formal, casual, religious, or non-religious — whatever fits your style.
You can say vows, exchange rings, or keep it simple. The entire process can be as short as 15 minutes or as long as you like.
💡 You may also add flowers, music, video, or a professional photographer.
5. Legal Documentation and Filing
After the ceremony:
- We file your marriage license directly with the county
- You receive proof of marriage
- You can order certified copies and request apostille certification if needed for immigration or international purposes
