Introduction
Marriage is one of the most significant milestones in life. But not every couple wants to—or can—wait weeks for a courthouse appointment, especially when there’s a need for urgent legal documentation. Whether you’re planning to get married for immigration, military, insurance, or personal reasons, Get Married Today provides a fast, legal, and personalized alternative to courthouse weddings.
If standing in a government office, waiting in long lines, or having your special day limited by business hours doesn’t appeal to you, we offer something better: a stress-free, same-day marriage service that comes to you. You don’t have to settle for the impersonal courthouse option—we give you flexibility, privacy, and full legal recognition.
📍 Book your appointment now at GetMarried.Today and get married today—without the courthouse!
Why You Might Want to Skip the Courthouse Wedding
Courthouse weddings are often chosen for their simplicity and affordability. However, they’re not for everyone. Here are the most common reasons couples come to us instead:
1. Long Wait Times and Inflexible Hours
- Many California courthouses have limited hours, and appointment backlogs can be weeks or even months long.
- Courthouses are typically only open Monday to Friday, 9 to 4, making it hard for working couples or those on tight timelines.
📍 Check your county courthouse backlog at California Courts.
2. Lack of Privacy
- Courthouse weddings are rarely private. You’re often sharing your moment with several other couples and staff.
- No personal customization or romantic ambiance—just a quick ceremony and paperwork.
3. Urgent Need for Official Documentation
- Many couples need to get married quickly to obtain or submit documentation for:
- Immigration filings
- Military spousal benefits
- Insurance policies
- Visa applications
- Medical emergencies
