Why Choose Weekend and Evening Marriages?
For many couples, weekday weddings during courthouse hours simply aren’t feasible. Here’s why weekend and evening marriages are the perfect solution:
1. Flexible Scheduling for Busy Couples
Life gets hectic, and not everyone has the ability to take time off work or other responsibilities to visit the courthouse. Evening and weekend weddings allow you to tie the knot without disrupting your daily schedule. Learn how to plan a wedding that fits your lifestyle at The Knot.
2. Romantic Atmosphere
Evening ceremonies, with their soft lighting and intimate vibes, create a uniquely romantic setting. For evening wedding inspiration, check out Brides.com.
3. Courthouses Are Closed
Most courthouses don’t operate on weekends or after hours, making it challenging for couples with tight schedules. With our services, you can get married when courthouses are closed. Learn more about typical courthouse hours at the California Courts website.
4. Perfect for Elopements
Weekend and evening weddings are ideal for couples seeking a simple, intimate ceremony without the stress of a traditional wedding. Discover why elopements are trending at Green Wedding Shoes.
