Why Choose an Alternative to a Courthouse Wedding?
Courthouse weddings are often seen as the easiest and quickest way to get married, but they come with limitations that may not fit every couple’s vision. Here’s why more couples are choosing Get Married Today over courthouse weddings:
1. Avoid Long Wait Times & Government Delays
🏛 Many courthouse wedding services require appointments weeks in advance, long lines, and bureaucratic red tape. At Get Married Today, we offer same-day marriage licenses and ceremonies with no long waits or government restrictions.
2. More Private & Personalized Experience
💍 Courthouse weddings can feel cold and impersonal, with multiple couples getting married back-to-back. Our intimate, private ceremonies allow you to focus on your love without distractions.
3. Flexible Scheduling – Get Married Anytime
⏳ Most courthouses operate only during business hours on weekdays, making it inconvenient for couples with busy schedules. We offer weddings 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
4. Choose Your Wedding Location
🌴 Unlike a generic courthouse ceremony, our services allow you to pick a beautiful setting—whether at home, a beach, a park, a hotel, or a private venue.
5. Affordable Pricing Without Hidden Fees
💰 Courthouse fees can quickly add up, and some counties charge extra for expedited services or weekend ceremonies. Our transparent pricing ensures you get affordable, high-quality service with no surprises.
🚀 Get legally married without the courthouse hassle—on your terms, wherever and whenever you choose!

Why Get Married Outside the Courthouse?
A courthouse wedding may seem like the easiest choice, but many couples find it too impersonal, rushed, or inconvenient. Here’s why our private, full-service weddings are a better alternative:
1. Enjoy a More Meaningful Ceremony
🌹 Our private ceremonies allow you to personalize your vows and wedding experience, something courthouse weddings often don’t allow.
2. Get Married Anytime—Even on Weekends & Holidays
🎉 Courthouses operate only on business days and often have strict scheduling policies. We offer 24/7 services to fit your lifestyle.
3. No Crowds or Interruptions
🚫 Courthouse weddings are often rushed, with multiple couples waiting in line to say their vows. Our services allow you to fully enjoy your wedding experience without distractions.
4. Ideal for Military & Immigration Marriages
📜 If you need a legal marriage certificate for immigration, spousal benefits, or military allowances, we ensure everything is legally recognized and processed quickly. Learn more at USCIS.
