Frequently Asked Questions
Where Can We Have A Lovely Little Wedding?
We service the greater Los Angeles area. Choose from our recommended locations or provide your own. If you don’t yet have a location, we offer custom location sourcing. Whether you’re dreaming of a bohemian retreat, a historic Hollywood villa, a Japanese garden, a beachfront resort- whatever your vision, we can find it for you.
Where Can We get a Marriage License?
