When the government shuts down, military families face unique challenges—especially when it comes to planning or finalizing a legal marriage. At Get Married Today, we understand the urgency and emotional weight that service members carry. That’s why we’re offering exclusive discounted pricing for our Military Full Marriage Package during the government shutdown period.
Our goal is simple: to make sure every military couple can get legally married—fast, stress-free, and at a discounted rate—even when normal government operations are paused.
💍 What’s Included in Our Military Full Marriage Package
Even during a government shutdown, we handle everything in-house so you don’t need to visit the County Clerk.
This all-inclusive package includes:
- Legal same-day California marriage license issuance (no County Clerk visit required).
- Authorized wedding officiant and ceremony performed anywhere in Southern California—base, chapel, home, or hospital.
- All legal filing and submission with the county registrar.
- Proof of Marriage certificate issued immediately for military benefits or dependent verification.
- Priority military support for same-day processing and certified copies.
- Discounted rates for all military branches during the government shutdown.
Available 7 days a week at our Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Inland Empire offices—or mobile at your chosen location.
🎖️ Who Qualifies for the Military Discount
The Military Full Marriage Discount applies to:
- Active-duty members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force, and Coast Guard.
- Reserve and National Guard members.
- Retired or honorably discharged veterans with valid military ID.
- Military couples or fiancés of service members currently deployed or stationed abroad.
Just show your military ID or DD-214, and we’ll apply the government shutdown discount immediately.
🕊️ Same-Day Legal Marriage — Even During a Shutdown
Federal office closures don’t stop your love story. Our team at Get Married Today continues to provide:
- Instant marriage license issuance
- On-site officiant services
- Apostille and notary services through our trusted partners Your Local Notary and Orange County Apostille for international documentation.
Even if the County Clerk’s Office is closed, you can still become legally married in California through our authorized private license issuance program.
💸 Why We’re Offering Military Discounts
Government shutdowns can delay paychecks, benefits, and military leave approvals. We believe marriage shouldn’t have to wait for bureaucracy.
That’s why our military couples will enjoy:
- Discounted full-service pricing (typically up to 25% off).
- Waived administrative fees for license processing.
- Complimentary notarization for military-related documents such as Powers of Attorney and affidavits through Your Local Notary.
- Reduced apostille rates for couples needing to authenticate marriage certificates for use overseas, processed by Orange County Apostille.
✈️ We Travel to You — On Base, In Barracks, or Offsite
Our team travels 24/7 to accommodate active-duty personnel schedules, including:
- Camp Pendleton

- Fort Irwin National Training Center
