During the current pandemic, proper physical distancing and specific county health protocols will be followed. This will be discussed at our first meeting.
Your wedding ceremony date/time is not considered "on the books" until our non-refundable $175 retainer or full ceremony amount has been received. All fees can be paid by local personal check, local bank issued check, or Zelle. Any unpaid amount due is payable two weeks before ceremony date. If balance is owed and is not paid by stated date on signed contract or written email correspondence, license will NOT be mailed to county for registration and any signed agreement is voided.

Notary Service for Certified Copy/ies of Marriage License
Most Popular
Each county follows their own rules regarding requests for sending certified copies of marriage licenses. Check with the issuing California county Clerk/Recorder's office for their local fee. Most counties in California charge $15 per certified copy. I highly recommend getting two copies.
If I send in the copy request at the same time I send in the marriage license, you will save time and money, and should receive both your state recognized "official" license as well as your "certified copies" with in six to eight weeks from the date I mail them out. It should take less than eight weeks to get your packet.
