Simply Beautiful Civil Weddings
Welcome! We can issue your marriage license and get you legally married by appointment only.
Here at Simply Beautiful C. Weddings we have 3 Goals
1. We want to make it EASY for you to get married
- We are authorized by the County Clerk to issue your marriage license, we perform your ceremony in a beautiful setting and submit your paperwork for recording. For your convenience, we pre-order your marriage certificate so you can receive it in the mail. This service is at no additional cost to you.
2. We want to make your wedding as AFFORDABLE as possible.
- We choose to waive notary service fees (a $45 value) to our clients. We DO NOT add any convenience fees to travel to the County Clerk to purchase and return your marriage license. We offer clear, honest and transparent pricing.
3. We want your wedding day to be SPECIAL
- Although we are an easy alternative to bypass the County Clerk, we definitely want your wedding day to be SPECIAL. We provide a beautiful modern setting to host your ceremony, we have a bluetooth sound system and you are welcomed to request your entrance and exit song. You may also write your own vows and get married any day Mon-Sun.

You Must Have a Marriage License in order to Get Married
You may purchase a confidential marriage license here with us for $85 which is the EXACT SAME price as the court. Once we marry you, we will personally submit your paperwork for recording along with documentation to pre-order your certificate. Marriage Certificate will arrive in the mail within 6-8 weeks and is $15
Get The Facts
Since getting married is not something we do everyday, we want to create this space to clarify some of your questions.
Q. What is a Marriage License and Why do I need one?
A. You can think of your marriage license as a permit to get legally married. You must sign a marriage license and say "I do" to be married, and once you are married, you receive a temporary copy of the license. The government keeps the original document you signed and then generates a marriage certificate (similar to a birth certificate). If you wish to bypass the County Clerk, simply add $85 to our service fee along with $15 for your marriage certificate and we will take care of everything for you the same day.
Q. What do you mean by notary service?
A. When we issue your marriage license, we must validate your license and confirm your identity. As notaries, we are allowed to charge up to $15 per notarized signature. It is a standard fee for most wedding chapels to charge $45 for the three signatures that must be notarized for the license and certificate of identity. We choose to waive those fees simply because we want to. (: But whenever you are making a wedding inquiry always ask how much for notary service and marriage certificate? That way you have a clear picture of how much money you will be paying.
Tip: Always check service descriptions in detail. Is the chapel included? Are notarizations included? Is the license included? How much to pre-order a marriage certificate? Will the ceremony take place at a desk, lobby where people are passing by or in a closed door wedding chapel. Will I be able to see the space before making a reservation? Is there an additional fee for services on weekends? Your wedding is important and you must be informed about this important information prior to paying a deposit which in most cases is non-refundable.
