"Hi Elizabeth, Thank you for sending us the receipt and other info as well as conducting our wedding ceremony. We really did not want a big, stressful wedding, and we feel as though we made the right choice in coming to you. I'm sure you have done hundreds of ceremonies, but we appreciated your personal attention (including making us iced tea!). We also appreciated how organized and professional you were along with your friendly and welcoming personality."
--feedback from a Home Office couple, March 2008

The Home Office is unique--no white chairs, no plastic wedding decor, no canned wedding march, and no cranking you through like those high-volume wedding chapels! Quality, not quantity, is our byword; we welcome you as an honored guest to our cozy living room (a relaxing, come-as-you-are kind of place) to experience our simple, low-stress alternative to the "quickie" wedding in Vegas or the County Clerk's office.

It's the perfect private location for your short-notice elopement ceremony with fewer than four guests; you can bring your public marriage license and witness for an impromptu solemnization, or we can issue your confidential marriage license for a wedding without witnesses if you qualify (see requirements here.)

The Home Office is available 24/7 by appointment only; you can email us to find out more or call 310.288.6658 to arrange a quick, easy, and fun living-room elopement (you get tea and cookies, too.)

A cozy, quirky, happy living room "office"--relax and enjoy your wedding and a cup of tea!

Once we've confirmed your appointment time we can arrange everything for your wedding with just an email or two. You don't have to leave town or endure a lackluster courthouse wedding; The Home Office is the smart, easy, and romantic way to get married.

After your ceremony you can take photos in our "Secret Garden" (as the weather allows)--serene and colorful, the perfect hideaway to enjoy your first special moments as husband and wife (and your tea and cookies, if you wish.)

If you have a friend or family member who is far away, you can share your Home Office experience with a videocall via Skype.Com at no extra charge. Ask for details!

Do you have a handheld GPS unit? Ask for the coordinates of our geocache, "The Gnome Liberation Front Safe House." If you're perplexed by the notion of gnomes and GPS coordinates, you can find out more about geocaching--the international GPS-based treasure hunt game--by checking out Geocaching.Com. Happy Hunting (and Free The Gnomes!)
