UncategorizedOctober 14, 2025October 14, 2025Nancy

When love can’t wait, neither should your wedding day. At GetMarried.Today, we make it possible to get legally married in Orange County, California — even on holidays, weekends, and same day. Whether it’s Christmas morning, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, or the Fourth of July, our team is ready to help you say “I do” with full legal documentation and convenience.

Unlike the County Clerk’s office, which closes on weekends and federal holidays, Get Married Today offers authorized confidential marriage licenses and same-day officiant services — no courthouse visit required.

Why Couples Choose to Get Married on Holidays

Love doesn’t check the calendar. Many couples choose holiday weddings for symbolic, emotional, or practical reasons:

Memorable dates — Valentine’s Day, Christmas Eve, or New Year’s are unforgettable.
Family gatherings — Holidays bring loved ones together.
Symbolism — A new beginning for the new year, or the freedom of Independence Day.
Time off work — Many couples have extra free time during holiday breaks.
Spontaneity — Sometimes, love just can’t wait until Monday.

At Get Married Today, we embrace this spontaneity by providing same-day marriage licenses and ceremonies year-round — including all holidays and weekends.

Holiday Marriage License & Ceremony — All in One Visit

Unlike the County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, which closes for federal holidays, our Deputy Commissioners of Civil Marriage are authorized to issue marriage licenses and perform legal ceremonies anywhere in California.

That means you can:

Obtain your confidential marriage license
Have your ceremony performed immediately
Receive a signed, legal marriage certificate

—all in a single visit, even on a holiday.

Our mobile officiants and license agents are available throughout Orange County — from Anaheim to Laguna Beach, Irvine, Newport Beach, San Juan Capistrano, and beyond.

How It Works: Holiday Marriage Process

Getting married on a holiday in California is easier than you might think.

Schedule your appointment – Call or text us anytime. We’re open 7 days a week and on all holidays.
📞 949.423.6731
Bring valid ID – Both parties must have a valid government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or green card).
We issue your marriage license – Our Deputy Commissioner issues a California Confidential Marriage License right at your location.
Get married on the spot – We perform your legal marriage ceremony immediately after issuing your license.
Optional Apostille, Notarization & Translation – If you need your marriage recognized internationally, we handle the apostille legalization and notary certification too.

We’re Open When the Government Offices Are Closed

Most County Clerk offices in California — including Orange County, Los Angeles County, and San Diego County — are closed on:

New Year’s Day
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Presidents Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Veterans Day
Thanksgiving
Christmas

But Get Married Today is open on all of them.

We understand that holidays are often when couples are most free — traveling, celebrating, or taking time off. That’s why our mobile marriage license and officiant service is designed to bring the ceremony to you, any day, any time.

Popular Holiday Wedding Themes in Orange County

International Couples: We Handle the Apostille Too

If your marriage certificate needs to be recognized abroad — for visa, immigration, or dual citizenship purposes — our trusted partners can handle everything from notarization to apostille.

✅ Orange County Apostille – Apostille and legalization for marriage certificates, birth certificates, powers of attorney, and more.

✅ Your Local Notary Public – Mobile and in-office notarization services throughout Orange County.

After your ceremony, we can prepare your marriage certificate for international use by obtaining an apostille from the California Secretary of State, and if necessary, translation and embassy legalization for non-Hague countries such as UAE, Qatar, China, and Egypt.

California’s Confidential Marriage License is unique — it allows you to get married privately without a public record search.

Benefits include:

No courthouse appointment needed
No witnesses required
No public record search of your marriage
Legal and valid in all 50 states and internationally (with apostille)
Faster and more convenient than traditional county licenses
