What is a “No-Ceremony” Marriage and Is It Legal?
A “no-ceremony” marriage is a legal marriage without a formal or traditional celebration. Instead of a long, officiated event, the couple:

- Receives a legal marriage certificate
This is a completely legal and valid method of getting married in California.
✅ Legal in California
