If you’ve ever tried to get a marriage license in California, you already know how frustrating the long lines, limited appointments, and paperwork delays at the County Clerk’s Office can be.
The good news? You don’t have to wait weeks — or even hours — to get legally married. At Get Married Today, we offer a same-day marriage license and ceremony service that lets you skip the courthouse entirely and enjoy a stress-free, beautiful experience.
💌 Why County Clerk Wait Times Are So Long
During busy seasons — especially Valentine’s Day weddings, holidays, and summer months — most County Clerk offices across California experience major backlogs.
Couples often wait weeks just to get an appointment for their marriage license application or to schedule their ceremony.
Other reasons for delays include:
- Limited public service hours
- Strict appointment windows
- Document errors or missing identification
- High seasonal demand for weddings and licenses
If you want to get married quickly in Orange County, the traditional courthouse route just isn’t ideal.
