As Richard Brinsley Sheridan wrote, “Won’t you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.” We'd like to see you too. Email us for availability by clicking here.

It's Not An Office or a Chapel....

....it's a quirky, happy little living room in our bungalow in Mar Vista. We don't live in a Dwell Magazine spread, but it's comfy, relaxed, full of hygge, and we treat you like the honored guests we consider you to be. You can invite up to two guests/witnesses to join you, and we'll even give you tea and cookies (vegan or gluten-free, if you wish) to help you recover afterwards.

We're solar-powered, air-conditioned, and private, so you can get legally married comfortably and cozily, without worry (and no lines to wait in)!

Eloping @ Our Home Officeis a unique experience. No plastic flowers or white chairs, no canned wedding march, and no cranking you through like a high-volume wedding chapel. We have candles, comic books, real flowers in our organic butterfly habitat, and a sincere welcome no matter who you are.

It's a laid-back, come-as-you-are kind of place, just the thing for a casual elopement. We're also the only solar-powered microwedding service in Los Angeles (plus we recycle and compost and stuff) so you can keep the carbon footprint of your wedding low--just one more way MarriageToGo shares the love.

For those who want a wedding that's a little more personal and lot less Wedding Industrial Complex, we offer you this simple, charming, low-stress alternative to Vegas or the County Clerk's office.

Get Married Privately And Quickly

You can bring your public marriage license and witness for solemnization, or we can issue a confidential marriage license on the spot if you qualify (see requirements here). Confidential marriage licenses do not need a witness; for a public license you'll need to provide at least one witness (sorry, we can't provide witnesses for you, but they can join you for tea and cookies for their trouble).

Elopements at Our Home Office are available by appointment only. You can email us to check availability or call 310.288.6658 to request more info. We can often accommodate you within a few days of your inquiry! Once we've confirmed your appointment time, we can usually arrange everything with just a couple emails.

It's no longer necessary to head to Las Vegas to avoid a courthouse or cheesy-chapel wedding! Eloping at Our Home Office is a fun, easy, and affordable way to get married in Los Angeles.

We call it "The Couch of Destiny." It's quite comfortable, actually.

The Secret Garden

After your ceremony, you're welcome to take a few photos in our "Secret Garden" (as the season allows). Serene, wildly abundant, and colorful, our sustainable monarch butterfly habitat is a sweet place to enjoy your first moments as newlyweds. It's all organic and bird- and butterfly-friendly, so don't be surprised if a few of our winged friends float by or sing along.
