Love, License, and Long Weekends: Same-Day Weddings in Orange County
There’s something magical about a long weekend in Orange County, California. Whether it’s Labor Day, Memorial Day, or just an extended holiday break, it’s a perfect time to reflect, reconnect, and for many couples, to get married. At GetMarried.Today, we believe you shouldn’t have to wait until Tuesday to make your love legal. That’s why we offer same-day weddings—complete with a California Confidential Marriage License, a licensed officiant, and immediate legal filing—even on weekends and federal holidays.
Unlike the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s Office or Los Angeles County Registrar, which are closed on weekends, we’re available 7 days a week—including Saturdays and Sundays. We’ve married thousands of couples in Newport Beach, Anaheim, Irvine, Santa Ana, Mission Viejo, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, and Dana Point, often within just a few hours’ notice.
Our process is simple and fully legal. You provide a valid photo ID, and we issue a confidential license and perform the ceremony on-site. If one or both of you are missing ID, you may still qualify. This license is ideal for couples who want privacy—it’s not available in public records and doesn’t require a witness, unlike public marriage licenses.
Long weekends are ideal for couples facing personal or legal deadlines. We’ve helped couples secure marriage certificates for immigration filings, K-1 visa adjustments, and green card sponsorship. Others have used their same-day marriage to gain military benefits, VA spousal support, or to start the process of health insurance enrollment. Some even need a legal marriage certificate to apply for housing or add a spouse to their lease.
We also help couples who are traveling or eloping on the fly. Whether you’re flying into John Wayne Airport (SNA) or staying at a Newport Beach resort, we can meet you at your hotel, Airbnb, or scenic outdoor venue. Popular elopement destinations include Crystal Cove State Park, Irvine Regional Park, Heisler Park, and Balboa Pier. If you’re looking for more unique locations, we’ve also performed weddings at Disneyland and Griffith Observatory.
Your marriage will be filed the same day, and we can even help you obtain certified copies or begin the process of apostille certification through Orange County Apostille. If you’re planning to use your marriage certificate internationally, we ensure your document is ready for countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
Couples love us because we’re flexible, fast, and deeply experienced. We specialize in urgent marriage services, confidential elopements, weddings for LGBTQ+ couples, second marriages, and romantic vow renewals. We also provide options for name changes, notarization of prenuptial agreements, and witness waivers.
Clients often ask: “Can we get legally married on a holiday?” The answer is yes! We’re open for Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, Valentine’s Day, and even New Year’s Eve. We’ve even helped couples marry at hospital bedsides before surgery and on military bases before deployment.
Need to file your marriage license after-hours? Don’t worry. We take care of all the paperwork and follow-up with the county recorder’s office, so you don’t have to worry about navigating the California marriage registration process.
