We Can Help You Have a Small and Private Wedding
In today’s fast-paced world, not every couple dreams of a grand, extravagant wedding. More and more people are opting for small and private ceremonies that focus on intimacy, convenience, and authenticity. At Get Married Today, we specialize in making that dream a reality.
Whether you’re looking to elope quietly, host a private ceremony at home, or get legally married without involving a crowd, our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way. Our same-day services include everything you need—from issuing your marriage license to officiating your ceremony and even handling your official documentation for legal and international recognition.
Why Choose a Small and Private Wedding?
There are many reasons couples choose a small and private wedding over a large traditional celebration:
- Simplicity: Fewer moving parts, less stress.
- Affordability: Save thousands of dollars on venues, catering, and guests.
- Privacy: Keep the moment intimate, personal, and away from social pressure.
- Urgency: Ideal for immigration deadlines, military benefits, or personal timelines.
- Flexibility: You choose the location, timing, and style—on your terms.
At Get Married Today, we honor all of these reasons and more. We don’t just offer private weddings—we specialize in them.
