1. Same-Day Doesn’t Mean Standard: Tailor-Made Weddings in California

When most people hear “same-day wedding,” they imagine a basic, courthouse-style marriage with zero room for creativity. But at Get Married Today, we’re not a courthouse—we’re your dream wedding team on demand.

We issue your marriage license, officiate your wedding, and even file your paperwork with the county—all in one visit. But what sets us apart is our flexibility. Want to incorporate a specific cultural tradition, dress code, or quote from your favorite movie? We can make it happen—even the same day.

Your vision + our execution = a personalized marriage ceremony in as little as 30 minutes.

3. Real Stories: Couples Who Customized with Get Married Today

Maya & Luis: Sunset Beach Ceremony with Mariachi

They booked 24 hours before, and we arranged a sunset beach elopement in Laguna. Mariachi music played as they exchanged vows barefoot in the sand.

Anthony & Marcus: Star Wars-Themed Union

These mega-fans brought their own lightsabers and robes. We delivered a humorous, themed officiant script referencing “galactic love.” The ceremony ended with “May the Force be with you—forever.”

We created a custom script honoring both Christian and Muslim traditions in English and Arabic. The couple was moved to tears.

Even if your wedding is fast, it doesn’t have to feel rushed. We make it meaningful and reflective of who you are.
