Well here in Los Angeles County that is not possible. They will never be able to marry you the same day your purchase our license. You will have to come back at a later date to get married there. <br /><br />If you purchase the license and want to get married the same day you will need to come to a minister that can marry you and process your marriage license.<br /><br />This is not that complicated but you really need to make sure you go to a reputable place that will send in your license quickly and not make any mistakes.<br />Trust your wedding to us and we will handle the rest.Los Angeles Wedding Professionalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12221878676461690383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669319109841153695.post-40055711029810694752010-01-11T15:33:00.000-08:002010-01-11T15:35:33.190-08:00Price Increase January 21, 2010Price Increase January 21, 2010:<br />The Los Angeles County Recorders office is set to increase the price for marriage licenses on January 21, 2010. <br /><br />Get married now before the price for marriage licenses increases. <br /><br />Certified Copies are now $14 each.

Not all county offices that issue licenses can marry you on the spot. Some offices do not conduct marriages so you need to find out in advance before you go to the recorder office.<br /><br />Your best bet is to use a Notary Public that is authorized to issue the Los Angeles County Marriage License. We are able to issue the license and marry you on the spot. <br /><br />You will need to provide a valid photo ID when you file for the license. If you have gotten a divorce within the last two years, you will also need official proof of that. California does not require a health check or blood test.Los Angeles Wedding Professionalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12221878676461690383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669319109841153695.post-17797006799326832712008-07-12T13:42:00.001-07:002008-07-12T13:42:55.118-07:00Same Sex couples should get married before NovemberTo date we have married almost 100 same sex couples since June 17th. Couples have come from all over the US to get married in California since the ban was lifted. Get married now before voters have a chance to change the constitution here in California.<br /><br />The Los Angeles County recorders office has told us that all marriages performed before November will remain legal and can not be overturned. But if voters change the constitution in November then no more licenses will be issued to same sex couples.<br /><br />So anyone married between June 17th and November will have legal marriages recognized by the State of California as legal and binding. New York State currently recognizes California Same Sex marriages. So if you wait you may miss your chance to be legally married here in California.<br /><br />We will continue to update our blog with news as we get it from the recorders office.Los Angeles Wedding Professionalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12221878676461690383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669319109841153695.post-84667006850819204412008-06-23T11:42:00.000-07:002008-06-23T11:43:04.608-07:00Warning for Couples coming to California to get marriedSunday June 22 we received a desperate call from a Texas couple here for a wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel. It seems the "Internet Minster" they hired did not show for their wedding. <br />This scam seems to be directed at Gay and Lesbian couples coming here for destination weddings.<br /><br />The person claimed to be able to issue the Los Angeles County Marriage license and assured the couple they would be there for the wedding that evening. Lucky for them Rev. David Nixon was available and he drove to Beverly Hills to marry this couple. <br /><br />There are many people out there that claim to be ministers and able to issue the LA County Marriage License. If you are not sure you can always call the LA County Recorders office in Norwalk and confirm the identity of the person before you hire them. This couple sure wished they had done that before flying here and finding out they had been scammed.Los Angeles Wedding Professionalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12221878676461690383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669319109841153695.post-77362752378817708092008-06-16T16:01:00.000-07:002008-06-16T16:06:39.809-07:00Marriage License changed for same sex couplesWe will issue the new licenses on June 17th.

County will be ready for gay marriages<strong>The county clerk says ceremonies could begin June 16, the first possible day that the state Supreme Court's ruling allowing same-sex marriages could take effect.</strong><br /><br />By Jean-Paul Renaud, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer 1:27 PM PDT, May 20, 2008<br /><br />Acting Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan told county supervisors today that his office would be ready to perform same-sex marriages on June 16.That is the earliest date on which the state Supreme Court's overturning of the ban on same-sex marriages could take effect.<br /><br />Logan said he would extend the corps of volunteers needed to officiate at marriages, and would seek to open new offices to facilitate the ceremonies."We expect that when the decision goes into effect, that there will be an initial peak in the volume of people coming into our office," he said. "We want to be sure we're prepared for that. We want to make sure we're staffed up for that."Logan said he already has received a request from city officials in West Hollywood to have the county open a marriage-license office there.<br /><br />"It's also possible that they may have somebody in their own staff" to perform the ceremonies, Logan said.Supervisors have also asked Logan to convene an advisory group with gay community leaders to get a better handle on the numbers of couples expected to seek licenses.The Sheriff's Department and the Office of Public Safety, which protects county buildings, also have been asked to provide extra security during the first few weeks the marriages are permitted.Last week, justices struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage in a broadly worded decision that would invalidate virtually any law that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation.Officials said it would be at least 30 days from the court's action before marriage licenses could be issued. But opponents could ask the court to rehear the case. Even if the court declined, such a request could delay the effective date by up to 90 days.<br />LA Times Story dated May 20, 2008<br /><a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-lagay21-2008may21,0,6730541.story">http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-lagay21-2008may21,0,6730541.story</a>Los Angeles Wedding Professionalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12221878676461690383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669319109841153695.post-9665542790760559712008-05-20T11:46:00.000-07:002008-06-23T11:44:23.349-07:00Los Angeles County Confidential Marriage LicenseWe also issue licenses to couples that we do not marry.

It will set the tone," said Geoffrey Kors, executive director of the gay rights group Equality California.California already offers same-sex couples who register as domestic partners the same legal rights and responsibilities as married spouses, including the right to divorce and to sue for child support. It's therefore unclear what additional relief state lawmakers could offer short of marriage if the court renders the existing ban unconstitutional.A coalition of religious and social conservative groups is attempting to put a measure on the November ballot that would enshrine California's current laws banning gay marriage in the state constitution.The Secretary of State is expected to rule by the end of June whether the sponsors gathered enough signature to qualify the marriage amendment, similar to ones enacted in 26 other states.The cases before the California court were brought by the city of San Francisco, two dozen gay and lesbian couples, Equality California and another gay rights group in March 2004 after the court halted San Francisco's month long same-sex wedding march that took place at Mayor Gavin Newsom's direction.Story from the Associated Press May 15, 2008Los Angeles Wedding Professionalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12221878676461690383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669319109841153695.post-24070640060428879902008-01-07T15:18:00.000-08:002008-03-28T15:14:19.460-07:00Valentine's Day Wedding 2009 Plan nowNo need to wait in long lines at the county to get married.
