Why Get Married on Christmas Day?

Christmas is a day of warmth, love, family, and new beginnings. For many couples, it’s the perfect day to say, “I do.” Whether you’re eloping, creating a blended family, or finalizing a long-term commitment, getting married on Christmas can make the occasion even more meaningful.

Reasons couples choose Christmas Day weddings include:

  • The entire family is already gathered
  • It’s easier to remember the anniversary
  • It symbolizes a fresh chapter and unity
  • It fits into a vacation schedule
  • Courthouses and clerks are closed—so you need a private, licensed service

At Get Married Today, we believe love doesn’t take a day off—so neither do we. We are open and available to legally marry you on December 25, wherever you are in Southern California.


We’re Open on Christmas Day—Here’s What We Offer

Unlike government offices and county clerks that close for holidays, Get Married Today remains fully operational 365 days a year. We provide the full legal package:

✅ Same-day marriage license issuance

✅ Legal marriage ceremony by a licensed officiant

✅ Official minister signature on the license

✅ Filing with the appropriate County Clerk Recorder

✅ Mobile appointments at your home, hotel, hospital, beach, or event space

All of this can be scheduled in advance or booked same-day online at getmarried.today.


Skip the Courthouse. Get Legally Married Anywhere

You might think you need to visit the county office to get a marriage license, but in California, certain authorized notaries can issue legal marriage licenses—and that’s exactly what we do.

Our service eliminates all the usual headaches:

  • No courthouse appointment
  • No waiting period
  • No weekday-only scheduling

Instead, we bring the marriage license, the officiant, and the legal filing to YOU.

Popular Christmas Day locations include:

  • Private homes with decorated trees and lights
  • Church courtyards
  • Beachfronts at sunrise or sunset
  • Hotel suites or lobbies
  • Hospitals or care centers
  • Holiday party venues
