When life takes an unexpected turn — whether it’s due to illness, recovery, or the urgency of love — Get Married Today makes it possible to have a legal marriage right from your hospital room.

We understand that not all love stories follow the same path. Sometimes, the most meaningful “I do” moments happen in the most unexpected places — even in a hospital. That’s why our team provides 24/7 hospital marriage services across Southern California, bringing the full legal process — from the marriage license to the ceremony — directly to you.

Whether you’re in Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, or San Bernardino, we make it fast, private, and fully legal.

❤️ What Is a Hospital Marriage?

A hospital marriage is a legal and emotional ceremony performed within a medical facility when one or both individuals cannot leave due to health conditions, mobility challenges, or urgent circumstances.

Our licensed notaries and authorized wedding officiants travel to hospitals and medical centers with all necessary paperwork to issue your marriage license, officiate your ceremony, and file your marriage certificate — all in one visit.
