🕊 Why Choose a Private Small Wedding?
Couples today are redefining what it means to get married. The traditional large-scale wedding isn’t for everyone—and that’s perfectly okay. Here’s why more couples are choosing private weddings:
1. Simplicity and Peace of Mind
Private weddings eliminate the stress of guest lists, timelines, and expectations. Instead, you get to focus solely on your partner and the love you share.
📖 Learn how private weddings reduce stress at Zola’s wedding planning guide.
2. Affordability
The average wedding in the U.S. costs over $30,000 (The Knot). A private ceremony with Get Married Today is a fraction of that—giving you the chance to invest your money in your future, not just a single day.
3. Flexibility and Convenience
Private weddings can take place any day, any time, and at a location of your choosing—your home, a scenic park, or even a favorite coffee shop.
Explore beautiful local venues with Visit California.
4. Urgent Legal Needs
Some couples require a quick, legal marriage for immigration purposes, military deployment, or travel. We offer same-day services and help with certified marriage documents for your legal filings.
