Where our mobile wedding officiant can marry you
Pick the place that means something to you. We bring the paperwork and the officiant, and you leave married.
At home
Your living room, backyard or rooftop. No permit, no drive, and the quickest way to be married today.
Hotel or vacation rental
Your room, your suite or a quiet corner the hotel agrees to. A favorite for couples visiting California. Check that your hotel or host allows visitors.
On the beach
From Malibu to Laguna Beach to La Jolla. Many beaches ask for a permit, even for a small ceremony, and our city pages list the rules.
Hospital or care home
At the bedside, often the same day. Both of you must be present and able to say yes for yourselves, and the facility has to allow our visit.
On a boat
At the dock or out in the harbor in Marina del Rey, Newport Beach or San Diego Bay. You arrange the boat and we come aboard with the license.
Near Disneyland
At your hotel or rental in the Anaheim resort area, before or after a day in the park. Disney’s rules do not allow unauthorized events in its parks, so we meet you where you are staying.
In front of a landmark
San Francisco City Hall, the Palace of Fine Arts, Griffith Observatory or the Santa Monica Pier. Some sites need a permit or a reservation, so ask us about yours.
Park, garden or your venue
A city park, a botanical garden, a restaurant or the venue you have booked. You arrange the place and we bring the license and the officiant.
Get married in front of a landmark
Popular backdrops for a short legal ceremony and photos. Some of these sites need a permit or a reservation from the city or the park; tell us the spot and we will tell you what it needs.

Mobile marriage FAQ
What is a mobile marriage?
A legal California marriage at a place you choose. We come to you with the marriage license, perform the ceremony, sign the license and file it with the county. You do not visit a county office or a chapel.
Is a mobile marriage legal in California?
Yes. We issue a California marriage license, perform the ceremony and file the license with the county, the same as a courthouse wedding. A California marriage license can be used anywhere in the state, whichever county issues it, and the marriage is recognized across the United States.
How much does a mobile marriage cost?
A mobile license and ceremony starts at $600 in Los Angeles, the Valley and Orange County, $700 in San Diego County and $850 in the Bay Area, plus the county license fee. The starting price covers a weekday, daytime appointment within 10 miles of our nearest chapel. Weekends and holidays add $100, late-night times (10 PM to 6 AM) add $100, and longer drives add $100 to $300. We confirm your total before your booking is final, and no payment is needed to book.
How far will you travel?
Mobile appointments are available across California, from our chapels in Los Angeles, Tarzana, Orange County, San Juan Capistrano, San Diego, Oceanside and San Francisco. Trips of up to 60 miles are on the price list above. For a longer trip we quote the travel when you book.
How soon can you come?
Same-day times are usual. In Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley we take appointments at any hour, 365 days a year. Book online or call, and we confirm the earliest time we can reach you.
Do we need witnesses?
No. The license we issue is a confidential California marriage license, which has no witness requirement. California does ask that the two of you are living together to use one. If you bring a public license from the county instead, you need one witness at the ceremony.
What do we need to have ready?
Each of you needs a valid, unexpired government photo ID. You must both be 18 or older and unmarried. If either of you was married before, have proof of how it ended: a divorce decree, an annulment or a death certificate. Choose a spot with a flat surface for signing, and check that your hotel, host or venue allows visitors.
How many guests can we have?
As many as your location allows. A hotel room, a hospital room or a beach or park permit may set its own limit, so check with them first.
Can you marry us in a hospital, hospice or care home?
Yes, often the same day. Both of you must be present, and each of you must be able to understand the ceremony and say yes for yourself. The facility has to allow our visit, so tell the nursing staff we are coming. Read our hospital wedding guide.
Do we need a permit for a beach or a park?
Often, yes. Many California beaches and parks ask for a permit or a reservation even for a small ceremony, and the rules differ from city to city. Our city pages list the local rules. A ceremony at home or in a hotel room needs no permit.
Can we get married at Disneyland?
Not inside the parks. Disney’s rules for the resort prohibit unauthorized events, and the sale of services without its written approval, so we do not perform ceremonies inside the theme parks or the Downtown Disney District. Most couples marry at their hotel or rental in the Anaheim resort area, then spend the day in the park as newlyweds.
Can we get married on a boat?
Yes. You arrange the boat and we come aboard with the license. The ceremony has to take place in California, so a boat at the dock or in the harbor works.
Can you bring only the license, or only perform the ceremony?
Yes. Mobile ceremony only and mobile license only each start at $450 in Los Angeles, the Valley and Orange County, $550 in San Diego County and $700 in the Bay Area. The same travel, weekend and late-night amounts apply.
Is there a military price for mobile marriages?
No. Military pricing applies to appointments in our chapels and offices only. Mobile appointments are at the regular mobile price.
Do you perform ceremonies in Spanish?
Yes, in Southern California. A Spanish-speaking officiant is an add-on you choose when you book. Ceremonies in the Bay Area are in English.
Do you travel outside California?
No. Mobile appointments are in California only. If you are somewhere else, a virtual wedding may suit you.
Disneyland rules checked October 2026: Disneyland Resort rules. Parks and beaches change their permit rules, so confirm before you plan.

Mobile wedding officiant in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley
Most mobile wedding officiants in Los Angeles perform the ceremony and sign your license. Ours also issues it: as a notary approved by Los Angeles County we prepare the confidential marriage license at your location, so a backyard in Encino, a hotel suite in Beverly Hills, a hospital room at UCLA or the sand in Santa Monica becomes a complete same-day wedding, with the county filing done for you.
Beaches: Santa Monica, Venice, Playa del Rey, Manhattan Beach, Malibu
Golden hour starts about 45 minutes before sunset; we book the paperwork 30 minutes before it. A simple ceremony with no set-up is usually straightforward; chairs, an arch or a crowd can need a permit from the city, county or state agency that runs the beach.
Homes, backyards and hotels across the Westside and the Valley
Westwood, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Downtown, Encino, Tarzana, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Van Nuys, Northridge, Calabasas, Burbank and Glendale are all regular visits. Hotels rarely object to a ceremony that is you, your officiant and a photographer.
Hospitals, hospices and care homes
UCLA, Cedars-Sinai, Providence Saint John’s, Kaiser, Keck, Torrance Memorial, Harbor-UCLA, and in the Valley Providence Tarzana, Kaiser Woodland Hills, West Hills, Northridge, Valley Presbyterian, Encino and Sherman Oaks hospitals. Both of you must be present and able to consent; we move hospital visits to the front of the line.
Parks, overlooks and landmarks
Griffith Observatory, Palisades Park, Echo Park Lake, Lake Balboa, Kenneth Hahn, the Baldwin Hills overlook, Point Dume, the Mulholland overlooks above Calabasas. Tell us the spot and your numbers and we will say what, if anything, needs a permit.
