1. What is a Same-Day Mobile Marriage Service?

A same-day mobile marriage service allows you to legally marry at your desired location—without going to the courthouse or waiting for a license. At Get Married Today, we come to you with everything needed: the marriage license, an authorized officiant, and full legal processing.

This is not just a symbolic or commitment ceremony—it’s 100% legal, recognized by the State of California, and valid internationally (especially when apostilled for Hague Convention countries).

2. How It Works: Marriage License + Ceremony Anywhere

Here’s how simple it is:

• Step 1: You contact us and request a same-day wedding.

• Step 2: We confirm your location and time.

• Step 3: We bring a valid California marriage license to you.

• Step 4: Our officiant performs a legally binding ceremony.

• Step 5: We file your license with the County Recorder’s Office.

• Step 6: You’re legally married.

You can receive an official proof of marriage immediately after the ceremony, and certified copies can be ordered that same day.

3. Popular Location Options for Your Wedding Day

The beauty of same-day weddings is that they happen wherever you are:

• Your private residence

• A hospital room

• A local park or scenic overlook

• A sandy California beach

• A hotel, Airbnb, or private estate

• Nursing homes or hospice centers

• A restaurant or rooftop lounge

• A courthouse parking lot (if they’re closed)

We’ve even performed ceremonies in driveways, backyards, parking garages, and beaches under the stars.

4. Why Couples Choose to Marry at Home

For many couples, home is where the heart is. A home wedding provides comfort, intimacy, and ease. It’s perfect for:

• Seniors or people with mobility issues

• Families with young children

• Couples who want a private, cozy moment

• Those planning a future celebration but wanting to legalize their union now

We set everything up in your living room, backyard, or front porch—wherever feels most like you.

5. Urgent Hospital Weddings: Legal, Compassionate, Fast

We’re proud to help couples marry in medical settings where time or circumstances are urgent:

• One partner is hospitalized

• A terminal illness diagnosis requires fast legal proof

• You need immediate spousal rights for medical decisions

• Immigration or military deadlines require fast marriage

We coordinate with hospital staff to ensure all legal protocols are followed with dignity, respect, and compassion.

6. Dream Weddings on the Beach
