Same-Day Marriages by Get Married Today for Military Members

Where:

Get Married Today provides same-day legal marriage services across Southern California, including at military bases, homes, chapels, and public venues in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Diego Counties. Whether you’re stationed at Camp Pendleton, March Air Reserve Base, or on leave in the area, our team comes to you with mobile service available 24/7. We can perform your ceremony and issue your legal marriage license at your home, on base (with permission), at the beach, or even in a hospital setting.

Who:

Our services are tailored for active-duty military members, reservists, veterans, and their partners who need to get legally married quickly and privately. We support military couples dealing with deployment orders, spousal benefit eligibility, housing qualifications (BAH), or immigration timelines. Get Married Today is honored to serve all branches — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force, and Coast Guard — and offers military discounts as a thank you for your service.

What:

We offer same-day legal marriage services that include the issuance of your California marriage license, a legally binding wedding ceremony, and the minister’s signature — all without needing to visit the courthouse. We also handle your county filing and can order certified copies of your marriage certificate and provide expedited apostille certification for overseas military documentation. Everything is completed in one appointment, at your location, making the process fast and stress-free.

When:

Get Married Today operates 24/7, 365 days a year — including weekends and federal holidays — to accommodate the demanding schedules of military personnel. Whether you’re heading out on deployment, have unexpected leave, or need to qualify for benefits quickly, we can schedule your legal marriage on the same day you contact us. Emergency requests and late-night appointments are welcome and available.

Why:

Military life often requires swift and flexible solutions, especially when legal marriage is tied to health benefits, PCS relocation orders, housing stipends, or spousal visa needs. Our service eliminates the need to navigate courthouse wait times, paperwork delays, or conflicting schedules. Get Married Today provides a private, efficient, and respectful path to legal marriage — perfect for military couples who need it done fast, correctly, and with dignity.
