Then we show up, set it up, and legally marry you. Same day if you want it.

Reason 25 of 25 — You already decided. A while ago.

There's an assumption that same-day marriage means impulsive. In our experience it's almost always the opposite.

The couples who walk through our door have usually been together for years. They've had the conversation a hundred times. What's been holding them up isn't doubt — it's a venue deposit, a guest list, a season, a budget, a date that works for everyone else.

None of that is the decision. The decision was made a long time ago. This is just the paperwork catching up to it.

Whenever you're ready — and you have been for a while — we're open.

Reason 24 of 25 — Guest count: your call.

Some couples want their people in the room. Some want the door closed. Our chapels are set up for both — semi-formal ceremonies with seating for guests, and confidential ceremonies that legally require no witness at all.

You get the same officiant, the same license and the same ceremony either way. The only thing that changes is how many chairs we set out.

Tell us your number when you book, and tell us if it changes. It usually does.

Reason 23 of 25 — The unromantic conversation is worth having first.

We offer a prenuptial agreement builder for couples who want one in place before the ceremony instead of promising to sort it out someday.

A prenup is a practical document. Having one says nothing about your marriage except that two adults talked honestly about money before signing a contract together. California has specific requirements around timing and independent review, so start earlier rather than later.

This is general information, not legal advice — we'd encourage each of you to have your own attorney review anything you sign.

Reason 22 of 25 — A California certificate that works in another country.

If your marriage needs to be recognized overseas — for a visa application, a residency file, or a civil record in a spouse's home country — the marriage certificate generally needs to be authenticated with an apostille before it will be accepted.

We handle that as well, so you're not getting married in one place and then hunting for a document service in another. Ask about apostille when you book and we'll tell you what the destination country requires.
