We coordinate every step of a jail or prison wedding across Southern California — the approval, the notary visit, the marriage license, the ceremony, and the filing. You focus on each other. We handle the rest.
Marrying an incarcerated loved one involves rules that change from facility to facility — and a lot of paperwork most people have never seen. That's exactly what we take off your plate. Here's what the journey looks like from your side.
Many couples come to us after another officiant, a county clerk, or the facility itself told them their wedding was impossible. In a great many of those cases, it wasn't. We specialize in the situations other people walk away from.
One of the most common roadblocks — and one we know how to navigate. In most cases we can still move forward. Call us and we'll tell you what's possible for your situation.
Medical situations, transfers, immigration matters, looming court dates — we've handled them. The sooner we talk, the more options you'll have.
That's the most normal place to start. There's nothing to prepare before your call — just reach out and we'll guide you from there.
We coordinate weddings at jails, detention centers, and prisons throughout the region. Choose a county to see the facilities we regularly serve. Don't see yours? We likely still cover it — just ask.

To get married, the partner who is not incarcerated needs one valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID. California accepts IDs from anywhere in the world — here are the most common ones we see.
From any of the 50 states — it does not have to be a California ID.
A valid passport from the United States or any other country is accepted.
Your green card works as a valid government-issued photo ID.
The consular ID card issued by your country's consulate is accepted in California.
A national ID card or driver's license from your home country. We can help with translated documents.
A valid U.S. military or Veterans Affairs identification card.

They handled everything when three other people told me it was impossible. We're finally married. I can't thank them enough.
So patient and kind. They answered every question and never made me feel judged. The whole process was smoother than I expected.
