Does the marriage license come with the package?
No. The license is not included in any of the packages. Some of our wedding officiants can issue the license for you and you can check them out here~ Los Angeles Wedding Officiants.
If the wedding officiant that you choose to officiate your ceremony is not a Notary, you can still have one of the officiants who IS a Notary supply your license, or you can pick up the license at an RRCC here in LA and take it with you the day of your ceremony. The fee for the license is payable directly to the issuer of the license. You can expect to pay about $225 through a Notary and about $110 if you pick it up at the courthouse. If you would like to obtain your marriage license from the RRCC, please click here!
