Irvine Wedding Spaces

Two Beautiful Chapel Options in One Irvine Location

At 17875 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 150, Irvine, CA 92614, couples can choose between a semi-formal indoor chapel and a romantic nighttime balcony chapel. Both options are designed for quick, fully legal ceremonies that still feel special and picture-worthy — without the stress of planning a traditional wedding.

Main Semi-Formal Indoor Chapel

The primary Irvine chapel is a semi-formal indoor ceremony space that balances modern simplicity with classic wedding touches. It features a white aisle runner, rows of white chairs that can comfortably accommodate up to 20 guests, and an elegant arch dressed with flowers and greenery.

This indoor chapel is perfect for couples who want:

  • A cozy, intimate ceremony surrounded by close family and friends.
  • A clearly defined aisle and seated layout that still feels relaxed.
  • Photos with a decorated arch that resembles a traditional chapel backdrop.
  • Reliable indoor space that doesn’t depend on weather or outdoor noise.

The legal signing typically takes place in a decorated conference-room style area before or after the ceremony, keeping paperwork and celebration organized in one office visit.

Nighttime Balcony Chapel With Lit Arch & Candles

The Irvine location also offers a balcony chapel that is only available at night, designed for couples who want a more dramatic and romantic feel. This elevated outdoor-style space includes a lit-up arch, a white aisle runner, and white chairs that fit up to 8 guests.

Soft, lit candles lead up to the arch, creating a glowing pathway for the couple as they walk down the runner and say their vows under the lights. It’s ideal for:

  • Evening elopements with a small group of guests.
  • Couples who love city lights, nighttime photos, and a more cinematic ceremony.
  • Those who want something more atmospheric than a conference room or courthouse setting.

Many couples pair this balcony chapel with guidance from Top Reasons to Elope With Get Married Today as they plan a simple, meaningful nighttime elopement.

Process

How Same Day Marriage Works at the Irvine Chapel

The Irvine office follows the same streamlined process used across all Get Married Today locations, adapted to the semi-formal chapel and balcony layout. In one appointment you can complete your confidential California marriage license, have your ceremony, and leave knowing your license will be properly filed.

  • Schedule Your Irvine Appointment

    Reserve a time at the Irvine chapel through the main Get Married Today booking page. You’ll receive a simple checklist based on the official marriage license requirements, so you know exactly which IDs and details to bring.

  • Check In & Verify Identification

    When you arrive, your IDs and background details are reviewed to ensure you meet California law. The process mirrors the guidance provided by the Get Married Today requirements overview and standard state rules, but without any county clerk wait times.

  • Complete Your Confidential Marriage License

    In a decorated conference-room space, you’ll sit comfortably while your confidential California marriage license is prepared. You review and sign the license on-site, so there’s no separate courthouse or clerk appointment. For a deeper explanation of this license type, you can review the confidential marriage license page.

  • Choose Indoor Chapel or Nighttime Balcony Ceremony

    After the paperwork is ready, you move into either the semi-formal indoor chapel or, for evening appointments, the balcony chapel. You’ll walk down a white aisle runner, be surrounded by white chairs, and stand under a decorated arch with flowers and greenery or a lit-up arch on the balcony — depending on your chosen space.

  • Legal Ceremony & Minister Signature

    An authorized officiant conducts your ceremony and legally signs your marriage license as the minister. The process is designed to be similar in formality to a civil ceremony through the county, but handled privately at the chapel through Get Married Today.

  • Filing With the County & Proof of Marriage

    The completed license is filed with the appropriate county so your marriage can be officially recorded. You’ll receive proof of marriage that you can use while you wait for certified copies, which are typically requested through official channels similar to those outlined on state vital records resources.

  • Using Your Marriage Certificate After Irvine

    Once certified copies are available, you can use them for immigration filings, benefits, and name change purposes. For couples who need documents for use abroad, marriage certificates can be authenticated through partners such as Orange County Apostille, and notarized documents can be handled by Your Local Notary Public if additional forms must be signed.

Who This Location Serves

Who the Irvine Chapel Is Perfect For

Local Orange County Couples

Ideal for couples in Irvine, Tustin, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and nearby cities who want their legal marriage completed quickly without having to coordinate multiple appointments.

Many couples choose the Irvine chapel when they plan a larger celebration later, but want to become legally married now. The semi-formal chapel provides a classic look for photos, with the flexibility and privacy of a professional office setting.

Traveling & International Couples

Because Irvine is so close to John Wayne Airport and major hotels, it’s a great option for out-of-town and international couples who want a same day legal marriage for international purposes.

Couples often schedule their ceremony during a short visit and then use their California marriage certificate, plus apostille or consular services from providers like Orange County Apostille, for use in their home country.

Immigration & Military-Focused Marriages

The Irvine chapel works especially well for couples who need immediate proof of marriage for immigration or military benefits. Many follow the guidance found on the Marriage for Immigration Purposes page or the Military Marriage Resources guide.

The same-day license, ceremony, and filing help couples align with timelines for USCIS filings, PCS orders, benefits enrollment, or other documentation needs without waiting weeks for a county clerk opening.

Legal Details & Options

Legal Options, License Type & Other Get Married Today Services

At the Irvine chapel, couples generally use a confidential California marriage license — the same type explained in detail on the Confidential Marriage License page. Confidential licenses are not public record, may not require witnesses in the same way public licenses do, and are especially helpful for couples who value privacy.

If you’re comparing different Get Married Today locations, the Irvine chapel offers a more semi-formal aesthetic than strictly conference-room settings. Couples who want alternative vibes — such as a civil-style conference room, a beach ceremony, or a mobile officiant at their own venue — often explore:

No matter which chapel you choose, the core structure is the same: one appointment, every legal step, and support tailored to your situation — whether that’s immigration, military, international use, or simply wanting a smooth, private way to become legally married.
