RATES AND SERVICES

MarriageToGo is a premium service at a competitive price. In a state rife with wedding and document fraud, you can trust MarriageToGo to provide services in an informed, ethical, and legally sound manner. Plus, this is not your cookie-cutter, McWedding Chapel experience--we make getting hitched simple, romantic, personal, and fun! We also donate a portion of our fees each month to local charitable organizations as part of our mandate to share love and hope in our communities.

Since its inception in 2001, MarriageToGo has spawned many part-time "knock-off" imitators. We're proud to say that we are full-time professionals; you can pay less elsewhere, but nobody offers better personal service or availability than MarriageToGo. We also won't call you at the last minute and leave you in the lurch; MarriageToGo is the only service that offers a written money-back guarantee for on-time arrival. We care about doing your wedding right.

  It used to be that some wedding officiants wouldn't give you a final quote until after you had given them a deposit and consented to sign a contract. We're proud to say that MarriageToGo.Com was among the first to post rates and fees on the web to better serve the public--happily, another much-imitated policy, since you the consumer benefit. Due to increased demand for our high-quality services, we have recently restructured our rates and services to better reflect the time, energy, and technology we bring to the table creating a better wedding experience for you.

  With MarriageToGo, there are no lengthy contracts and no hidden costs. Your fee is finalized up front and you receive a written service agreement detailing precisely what services you'll receive for your money. With a $100 non-refundable deposit your ceremony time will be reserved! You can even pay for some or all of your fee with a credit card online at PayPal.Com. We try to make planning your wedding simple, honest, and convenient without a lot of extra paperwork.

  Weddings on short notice...our specialty! We also perform custom commitment and vow renewal ceremonies. We're available all day every day of the week to better serve you.

  EXPLANATION OF RATES AND SERVICES
  In determining your rate, we'll ask these questions:
  
  
• What do you need: ceremony officiation, marriage licensing, or both?
  
  
• Where is the ceremony taking place? Travel fees apply outside of the Santa Monica/West Los Angeles area.
  
  
• When: weekend, weekday, or holiday? Weekends are popular, so they cost more due to increased demand; holidays are charged at higher rates ranging from time-and-a-half to double the standard rate.
  
  
• How many guests will be attending? A larger event means a greater time commitment both for ceremony preparation and during the ceremony day.
  
  
• Are you having a rehearsal on a different day?
  
  
• Remember: to be legally married you must first obtain a marriage license, then have it solemnized (that is, have a ceremony) within 90 days of license issuance. We offer a "Wedding Bundle" rate if you use MarriageToGo for both licensing and officiation.
