Westwood Chapel at a Glance

The Westwood office combines a professionally styled conference-style chapel with a dedicated legal signing space. It is designed for couples who want a ceremony that feels elevated and intimate, while still being fast, discreet, and fully compliant with California marriage law.

Central West Los Angeles Location

The chapel is located in a well-kept office building on Westwood Boulevard, just minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach. Couples often pair their ceremony with photos around Westwood Village or a small reception at nearby restaurants and hotels recommended by Discover Los Angeles.

Designed for Legal & Emotional Significance

Inside, you’ll find a modern, neutral-color chapel with simple, elegant décor that photographs beautifully. Seating is arranged to keep your guests close, and the layout makes it easy to move between the ceremony space and the conference room where your confidential license is prepared and signed.

Private Conference Room for Paperwork

Before or after your ceremony, you are escorted to a separate conference room dedicated to the official signing of the marriage license issued by Get Married Today’s requirements-based process. This quiet, professional space ensures your legal details are handled carefully and without distraction.

Support for International & Apostille Needs

If you will be using your marriage for immigration or overseas purposes, partners such as Orange County Apostille can help you authenticate your marriage certificate for use abroad, while Your Local Notary Public can notarize affidavits, proof letters, or related documents you may need.

End-to-end legal service: Get Married Today is authorized as a Notary Public / Deputy Commissioner of Civil Marriages to issue California confidential marriage licenses, perform your legal ceremony, sign as the minister, and file your license with the county— so you never have to visit the courthouse or county clerk in person.

Westwood Wedding Spaces

Elegant Chapel & Private Signing Room in One Location

At 2180 Westwood Blvd, Suite 2b, Los Angeles, CA 90025, your legal wedding day is organized into two thoughtfully separated spaces: a conference-style chapel for your ceremony, and a private office for preparing and signing your confidential marriage license.

Modern Westwood Chapel

The primary ceremony room in Westwood is styled like a small chapel within a professional office. It balances a clean, contemporary look with classic wedding elements so your photos feel special without needing heavy décor. Couples typically use this space when:

  • They want an indoor ceremony with seating for approximately 25–35 guests.
  • They prefer an uncluttered, neutral backdrop for photography and video.
  • They are planning a larger reception later but want the legal ceremony completed now.
  • They want a space that feels more intimate and private than a government building.

Dedicated Legal Signing Room

To keep the legal process clear and efficient, your license is prepared and signed in a private conference room separate from the chapel. This room includes a large table so you can comfortably review your information, sign your confidential California marriage license, and ask questions about:

  • How your names will appear on certified copies of your marriage certificate.
  • How to request certified copies later from state and county resources such as the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
  • Which documents you may need for benefits, immigration, or employer verification.
  • When to consider notarized proof of marriage or apostille certification.
Process

How Same Day Marriage Works at the Westwood Office

The Westwood office follows the same streamlined structure used across all Get Married Today locations. In a single visit, you complete your confidential California marriage license, have your ceremony in the chapel, and leave knowing your license will be filed with Los Angeles County.

  1. Secure Your Westwood Appointment
    Reserve a time through the main Get Married Today booking flow and review the marriage license requirements in advance. You’ll receive a simple checklist so you know exactly which IDs and prior-marriage details to bring.
  2. Check In & Verify Identification
    When you arrive in Westwood, your IDs are reviewed to ensure they satisfy California’s confidential marriage license rules. Requirements mirror state guidance and county procedures—such as those on the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder website—without any of the wait times.
  3. Complete Your Confidential Marriage License
    In the private signing room, your confidential California marriage license is prepared using the information from your IDs and background details. You will review and sign the license on-site so there is no need to visit the county clerk or courthouse. For a deeper explanation of this license type, you can refer to the confidential marriage license guide.
  4. Ceremony in the Westwood Chapel
    After paperwork is ready, you move into the modern chapel for your ceremony. Your officiant will guide you through a civil-style or semi-formal ceremony structure, with space for guests to be seated and a layout that keeps the focus on the two of you.
  5. Officiant Signature & Filing With the County
    Once you have exchanged vows, your officiant signs the marriage license as the minister. The completed license is then filed with Los Angeles County so your marriage is officially recorded. The filing process aligns with the same core rules used for county-issued licenses and state records referenced by the California Secretary of State and CDPH.
  6. Immediate Proof of Marriage & Next Steps
    Before you leave, you receive documentation confirming that you are legally married. Many couples also request a formal proof of marriage letter, described in detail on the proof of marriage letter guide. Certified copies of your marriage certificate are later ordered through county or state channels.

Proof of Marriage

Same-Day Proof of Marriage Letters From Westwood

Many couples leaving the Westwood office need written confirmation of their marriage right away—often before certified copies of their marriage certificate are available. That is where proof of marriage letters from Get Married Today become especially valuable.

What Is a Proof of Marriage Letter?

A proof of marriage letter is an official written statement confirming that you are legally married. It is not a government-issued vital record like a county marriage certificate, but it can be used as supporting evidence for many legal and administrative situations while you wait for certified copies. According to the Get Married Today proof of marriage guide, a well-structured letter typically includes:

  • Both spouses’ full names and the date of the marriage.
  • The city and state where the ceremony took place (Westwood, Los Angeles, California).
  • A clear statement that the marriage was conducted legally under California law.
  • The name and title of the officiant or marriage service provider.

When Couples Use Proof of Marriage Letters

After a Westwood ceremony, couples commonly use proof of marriage letters for:

  • USCIS and consular filings, often alongside forms and guidance found on the USCIS website.
  • Adding a spouse to employer-provided health insurance or retirement benefits.
  • Updating Social Security, driver license, and other identification records.
  • Providing immediate evidence of marriage to landlords, lenders, or HR departments.

Letters can be prepared on branded letterhead and, when needed, notarized by Your Local Notary Public for additional legal weight or international use.

International & apostille support: If your proof of marriage letter or certified marriage certificate must be used in another country, Orange County Apostille can help with apostille or legalization. They can also coordinate translations and additional notarized statements when foreign authorities require them, complementing your same-day Westwood ceremony.

FAQ

Common Questions and Answers

Yes, you can legally get married on the same day in Los Angeles through authorized services like Get Married Today. California law allows couples to obtain a marriage license and have a ceremony without any waiting period. The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder issues marriage licenses during normal business hours, but many couples prefer private services that operate 24/7. With Get Married Today, you don’t need to visit the courthouse, making the process faster and stress-free. You simply provide valid identification and complete a marriage license application. Once issued, an officiant can immediately perform your civil or legal marriage. The officiant will then sign and file your license with the county. You will receive proof of marriage right away, with the certified marriage certificate mailed to you later. More details on marriage licenses can be found at the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. For couples in a hurry, this makes same-day marriage in Los Angeles both simple and legal.

To get married on the same day in Los Angeles, you need a valid government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license, passport, or state identification card. Both parties must be at least 18 years of age to marry legally in California. Unlike some states, California does not require birth certificates or Social Security numbers to issue a license. If either party was previously married, proof of divorce or death certificate of the former spouse may be required. Services like Get Married Today streamline the process by issuing your marriage license directly, saving you a courthouse trip. After your license is signed by an officiant, it will be filed with Los Angeles County. You can then order official copies of your marriage certificate. For more information on required documents, visit the California Department of Public Health. This makes Los Angeles one of the easiest counties to marry in on short notice. Always ensure your IDs are valid and not expired to prevent delays.

The cost of a same-day marriage depends on whether you go through the county or a private authorized service. In Los Angeles County, the marriage license fee is currently $91 for a public license and $85 for a confidential license. The civil ceremony performed at the county clerk’s office costs an additional $35. However, same-day marriage services like Get Married Today charge a flat rate that includes license issuance, officiant services, and legal filing for around $350. This saves couples time and allows them to marry outside courthouse hours, such as evenings or weekends. Certified copies of the marriage certificate from the county cost $17 each. Apostille certification for international use is an additional service for couples marrying for immigration or overseas legal purposes. For an updated fee schedule, refer to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder Marriage Services. While the county offers the lowest base cost, private services offer speed and convenience that many couples find worthwhile.

Yes, both partners must be present to obtain a marriage license in Los Angeles, whether through the county or Get Married Today. California law requires both individuals to appear together, provide valid identification, and sign the license application. The license cannot be issued to one party alone or through a proxy. However, once issued, the ceremony can take place immediately. Some private officiants travel to homes, beaches, hospitals, or other venues to perform the legal ceremony on the same day. This is helpful for couples who cannot visit the county clerk due to time or mobility constraints. After the ceremony, the officiant will submit the completed license to Los Angeles County. Official certified copies of the marriage certificate are then mailed to the couple. The county provides more details about this requirement on the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder website. This ensures that marriages performed in Los Angeles are legally valid and properly documented.

Yes, you do not have to be a California resident to get married in Los Angeles. Couples from other U.S. states or even from abroad can legally marry in California as long as they meet identification requirements. There is no residency requirement to obtain a marriage license in Los Angeles County. Services like Get Married Today are especially helpful for out-of-town couples, as they can issue your license and officiate your ceremony all in one visit. Non-residents may need apostille certification for their marriage certificate if they plan to use it internationally. The U.S. Department of State and the California Secretary of State handle apostilles. Official certificates can be mailed to an out-of-state or international address. Many couples from around the world choose Los Angeles because of its flexibility and fast service. For more details on requirements for non-residents, review the Los Angeles County marriage license guidelines.

With services like Get Married Today, couples receive immediate proof of marriage once their ceremony is completed and their license is signed. The officiant files the license with Los Angeles County within a few business days. The official certified marriage certificate is then processed and mailed by the county, usually within 6 to 8 weeks. Couples can request expedited certified copies directly from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder. If needed, proof of marriage can also be notarized the same day, which is especially useful for immigration or urgent legal matters. Apostille services are available for couples who need international recognition of their marriage. Couples often use their proof of marriage for immediate needs such as health insurance, military housing, or spousal visa applications. Same-day services help ensure no delay in beginning this process. Proof of marriage provided the same day allows couples to move forward quickly with legal or personal needs.

Yes, same-day marriages in Los Angeles can be performed anywhere an authorized officiant is present. With Get Married Today, couples can choose a private location such as a beach, park, home, or hotel. This allows for a more intimate or unique experience compared to the courthouse. The officiant brings the marriage license and necessary paperwork directly to the chosen location. Once signed, the marriage is legally binding and filed with the county. California law does not require the marriage to occur in a government building. Many couples take advantage of this to create memorable wedding experiences on the same day. The county clerk also performs ceremonies at their office by appointment, but availability is limited. More information is available on the Los Angeles County Clerk website. Choosing an off-site marriage allows couples to combine convenience with personalization.

No, California does not require a blood test to obtain a marriage license. This requirement was eliminated decades ago, making the process much faster. Couples only need valid identification to apply for and receive a marriage license. This makes same-day marriages in Los Angeles highly accessible for couples with limited time. With Get Married Today, couples can skip the courthouse and finalize their marriage in one simple step. Since no blood test is required, couples can marry on weekends, evenings, or even holidays. Official certified copies of the marriage certificate are later available from the county. This streamlined process is why Los Angeles is popular for same-day marriages. More information is available through the California Department of Public Health. Couples should still ensure they meet age and identification requirements before applying.

Yes, while county clerk offices are closed on weekends and holidays, services like Get Married Today remain open 24/7, even on federal holidays. This allows couples to get married on special dates like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or the Fourth of July. Same-day officiants can travel to you, whether at your home, a park, or a beach. The license and ceremony are both handled the same day, regardless of the holiday. Afterward, the license is filed with Los Angeles County as normal. This makes Los Angeles one of the most flexible places for marriage in the U.S. Certified copies of your marriage certificate are still mailed later by the county clerk. The county provides general information on license processing at Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder. For couples seeking meaningful dates, this option makes marriage both memorable and practical.

Yes, a same-day marriage in Los Angeles is legally valid for immigration purposes. Once the marriage license is issued, signed by both parties, and filed with the county, it creates a legally binding marriage. The certified marriage certificate, issued by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder, is the document recognized by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Couples marrying for immigration purposes may also need an apostille if the certificate will be used abroad. Services like Get Married Today assist with both marriage and apostille certification. Proof of marriage can be provided immediately, which is important for visa and green card applications. USCIS requires an official certified copy, which will arrive by mail in 6 to 8 weeks. In the meantime, couples may use temporary proof for urgent filings. For immigration filing details, visit the USCIS official website. This makes Los Angeles an excellent choice for couples needing fast, legal recognition of their marriage.
