There’s something magical about getting married on a day that already means so much.

Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, or Christmas morning, Get Married Today can make your dream of a holiday elopement in Orange County a reality—with zero courthouse delays and full legal documentation.

And yes—all of these are legal. We’ll issue your marriage license and marry you on the spot.
🎯 What Is a Holiday Elopement?
A holiday elopement is a small, intimate, and often last-minute wedding held on a major holiday. These elopements are legally binding and often symbolic. Many couples choose to elope on holidays for emotional, practical, or spiritual reasons:
- Easier to remember anniversaries
- Emotional significance of the holiday
- Loved ones are already off work or visiting
- Courthouses are closed, but love doesn’t wait
With Get Married Today, you won’t need to delay your special day just because it’s a federal holiday—we offer 24/7 same-day marriage services, even on Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s.
