Don’t Let the Protest Ruin Your Plans to Get Married — You Can Still Say “I Do” with Our Private Marriage Services
In times of civil unrest, protests, or heightened political activity, your plans to get married can suddenly feel uncertain. Courthouses may close. Public offices might reduce their hours. City streets may be blocked, and traffic can become a nightmare. But love doesn’t wait — and neither should you. If you’re feeling anxious about whether you’ll still be able to get legally married during these times, Get Married Today has the solution: private, secure, and legal same-day marriage services — without having to go anywhere near a government building.
At Get Married Today, we believe that your wedding day should be full of love, not stress. Our services are designed for couples who want to legally marry without delays, interruptions, or red tape. Whether you’re navigating protest zones, courthouse closures, or simply want to avoid crowds, we make it possible for you to still move forward with your marriage — legally and peacefully.
Why Couples Are Delaying Marriage During Protests
Across California and the U.S., couples are rethinking their courthouse wedding plans due to unexpected closures, delays, and logistical disruptions caused by protests or political activity. During these times, city offices often operate with limited staffing or close entirely for safety reasons. Protest zones can also be declared near public buildings, making it difficult or unsafe to access county clerks’ offices or scheduled wedding appointments.
Marriage is one of life’s most important legal milestones, and for couples navigating immigration, military service, or major life changes, timing is everything. Postponing your wedding can affect visa applications, joint tax filing, military housing eligibility, and more.
So, what do you do when you need to get married now, but the courthouse is closed?
Get Married Without the Courthouse
Get Married Today was founded for moments exactly like this. We help couples get married legally without needing to visit a courthouse, city hall, or county clerk’s office. Our team is licensed to issue official California marriage licenses and perform legally recognized marriage ceremonies — all in one appointment, on your schedule, at your preferred location.
Even when the government shuts down or buildings are closed due to protests, we remain fully operational and accessible.
Here’s how it works:
- We issue your California marriage license on the spot
- We perform your legal wedding ceremony immediately
- We file all documents with the county for you
- You never have to step into a government building
If needed, we can also order certified copies of your marriage certificate and have them mailed to you, and we offer apostille certification if you need your marriage recognized internationally.
Skip the Government Office — Get Married Privately
You might be asking: Is this legal?
Yes, absolutely.
We are authorized by the County Clerk’s Office to issue confidential marriage licenses and officiate your wedding, following all legal requirements in California. Your marriage is just as valid as if it had been conducted in a courthouse or city hall — with the added benefit of being faster, more convenient, and entirely private.
And while city buildings may be blocked off or overwhelmed, we’ll meet you in a peaceful, safe setting of your choice — your home, a park, a hotel, or even our private wedding chapel.
No Need to Reschedule — We’ll Work Around the Chaos
If protests or public disruptions have caused you to reschedule a wedding at a courthouse, community center, or other venue — don’t panic. We offer flexible scheduling, including same-day, weekend, and holiday availability.
Many couples come to us after:
- Their courthouse wedding was canceled last minute
- They couldn’t pick up their marriage license due to closures
- They didn’t want to enter a government building amid protests
- They needed to marry urgently due to immigration, military, or medical reasons
No matter the reason, we can get you legally married today.
Common Reasons Couples Choose Us During Times of Protest or Unrest
- Safety and Security
Avoid large crowds and congested downtown areas where protests are taking place. We meet you in a private location where you feel comfortable. - Time Sensitivity
If you’re applying for a green card, need to add your spouse to health insurance, or have immigration or military deadlines, waiting isn’t an option. - Privacy
Some couples simply want a low-key, private ceremony away from public scrutiny, noise, or unrest. - No Delay on Legal Status
We submit your marriage paperwork immediately to the county, ensuring your legal marriage is registered without delay — even if the county clerk’s public counter is closed. - 24/7 Availability
We’re available when courthouses are not — evenings, weekends, holidays, and even during protest events that cause citywide shutdowns.
Who We Help
At Get Married Today, we serve all couples — U.S. citizens, non-citizens, military members, travelers, undocumented immigrants, and anyone looking to marry without red tape. Our services are especially ideal for:
- Immigrant couples facing deadlines for spousal visas
- Military families needing to marry fast for benefits
- Tourists who want to legally marry while visiting California
- LGBTQ+ couples looking for private, nonjudgmental marriage services

Real Couple Testimonial
“We had our courthouse wedding appointment canceled twice due to city shutdowns from protests. We were stressed and out of time since my fiancé needed to file immigration paperwork before the end of the month. Get Married Today not only helped us get married on the same day, but they also issued our license and filed everything for us — all in less than two hours. It was private, calm, and completely legal. We’re so grateful!”
— Andrea & Mateo, Los Angeles, CA
