Is your destination wedding Santa Barbara? Many people have told us, "I want to get married in California, but I don't know if I can because I don't live there." Coming from out-of-state or even out of the United States and need to get married? No problem. 
What's great is that with our specialized wedding license, called a California confidential marriage license, you do not need any witnesses and your certificate of marriage is sealed from public record, so it remains private to you- - meaning no media, no solicitors, no telemarketers.  If you would like us to provide you with a Santa Barbara California marriage license we can do so easily as we are specially authorized to issue a marriage license in Santa Barbara county for those couples who tell us that they have been living together as man and wife You can choose from a variety of indoor and outdoor wedding locations, from a romantically elegant wedding chapel to saying "I Do" on our white sandy beaches

We are here to help you plan your wedding, commitment ceremony or renewal. We strive to personalize your special day, that will last for a lifetime, or to reaffirm once again that wonderful memory of your special day. To plan from the beginning to the end, we will be here for you.
Our website was designed to provide you with a "one-stop" wedding guide. You'll find helpful information about our charming beachside community of Santa Barbara and it's resources. You'll find the "Crème de la Crème", the elite of wedding professionals. The best Santa Barbara has to offer.
Keep in mind that this is a very popular thing to do here in California so if your beach wedding ideas consist of the empty beach with just you and your mate and your guests, that might not be possible. It's not uncommon for someone to be sunning just feet away or playing frisbee.
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your lifetime, having a trained and experienced professional - someone you can trust and count on to conduct your wedding ceremony properly is "Invaluable".
We have married many visitors traveling from other states and from other countries who want to have the perfect southern California Wedding. You do not have to live in California in order for us to marry you here or provide a marriage license for you. California residency or American residency is not necessary.
It will assist you in planning a ceremony that is uniquely yours. The content and length of your wedding ceremony are up to you (within reason...try to keep your ceremony no longer than 20 minutes).
Strangely enough, many people worry more about planning the reception than they do the ceremony. However, the ceremony is the heart of the whole day. It is the ceremony where two individuals are married into one. It is the ceremony that marks the beginning of a new life together.
But we do have a few unheard of beach wedding locations that are beautiful and usually uncrowded that we can recommend, but the empty beach in California is fairly unheard of.Still, it's a beach wedding in California so, it doesn't get any better.
This is a very exciting time in your life. Marriage represents life's deepest and most sacred commitment possible. Your wedding ceremony is an extremely personal and distinctive statement shared with family and friends, an intimate ritual celebrating your love and commitment while marking the formal beginning of your new life together.
Rev. Gail will create a beautiful  bouquet for your wedding day. Rev. Gail will collaborate with you every step of the way to help ensure that you fully enjoy what ought to be one of the most exquisite moments of your life.
