Courthouse Fully Booked for the Rest of the Year? Get Married Today Can Legally Marry You
In many parts of California — especially Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County — the courthouse and county clerk offices experience extreme scheduling demand. Couples often discover that:
- Appointments are gone for months
- Ceremony slots are unavailable until next year
- Marriage license appointments are fully booked
- Holiday and seasonal closures limit access even further
When the courthouse is fully scheduled, couples can feel stuck and stressed — especially when they need to get legally married urgently for travel, employment, health benefits, deployment, immigration timelines, or personal milestones.
But there’s a solution.
