Getting married in Orange County should be a beautiful, effortless experience — not a day spent waiting in lines at a courthouse or struggling with complicated paperwork. Fortunately, there’s an easier way: same-day legal marriage services through Get Married Today.

Couples can now get legally married in one day — without visiting a county clerk’s office — with the help of a licensed Deputy Commissioner of Civil Marriages who can issue the marriage license and officiate the ceremony anywhere you choose: your home, a beach, a park, or one of our private chapels in Orange County.

Why Couples Are Avoiding the Courthouse

Orange County courthouses often require weeks of advance appointments, long lines, and limited ceremony availability. Couples with busy schedules or special circumstances — such as military deployment, international marriage needs, or hospital visits — can’t always wait.

That’s why more couples are choosing Get Married Today, which provides a one-stop solution for legal marriage licensing and officiating. You can get married legally the same day with a valid California ID or passport — no courthouse, no waiting, no stress.

How the Non-Courthouse Marriage Process Works

  1. Book Your Appointment:
    Schedule your same-day marriage service at GetMarried.Today. You can choose between a mobile visit (we come to you) or a private chapel ceremony in Anaheim, Irvine, or San Juan Capistrano.
  2. Provide Your Identification:
    Both parties must present a valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or other government ID). Foreign passports are accepted for international couples.
  3. We Issue Your Marriage License:
    Our Deputy Commissioner of Civil Marriages issues a California Confidential Marriage License, authorized by the County Clerk. This means you do not need to visit the courthouse.
  4. We Officiate Your Ceremony:
    Your wedding can take place immediately — at the beach, at your home, or at one of our scenic Orange County chapels.
  5. Receive Your Legal Certificate:
    Once the license is recorded with the County Clerk, your legal marriage certificate becomes available for certified copies. If you need it for international use, Orange County Apostille can apostille your certificate for use abroad.

Benefits of a Confidential Marriage License

A California Confidential Marriage License is a fully valid and binding marriage license — issued by the same county authority as public licenses — but it offers special benefits:

  • No courthouse visit required
  • Immediate issuance and ceremony on the same day
  • Your record is private and not accessible to the general public
  • Ideal for private, elopement, or destination weddings

Couples who use Get Married Today enjoy total privacy and convenience, with the peace of mind that their marriage is legally recognized everywhere.
