A warm welcome and clear answers

Focus on the marriage you want to begin

You may be looking for a small wedding, a way to marry while living apart or a straightforward ceremony before a celebration later. You do not need a large event to make the commitment meaningful.

Same-sex couples use the same guided marriage process and ceremony packages. Our team can help with the practical questions: preparing your license, joining the live call, arranging witnesses and understanding the document support you have chosen.

Make space for real life

A ceremony that can fit different circumstances

Together at home

Join beside each other in a comfortable setting. Your officiant leads the ceremony remotely, with you, your partner and the witnesses taking part live.

Living in different places

Each partner can join from a separate location. Plan the time zone, connection and setting for both of you so the wedding feels shared, even across distance.

A smaller guest list

Keep the gathering small or invite people who matter to you. Two adult witnesses are still required, and we can provide them at no extra charge if needed.

A celebration on another day

Complete the legal ceremony now and organize a larger gathering later. You can give the wedding and the celebration the time and attention that work for your lives.

Guided online, married live

See each step before you take it

The preparation happens in your online account. The ceremony is a live Zoom call led by an officiant, with both partners and two witnesses participating.

You both need to be 18 or older, legally free to marry and able to complete the required application and identity checks.

See what to prepare ↗
  1. Create your couple profile

    Work through the guided signup questions, choose a package and complete the intake information in your account.

  2. Complete the license application

    Follow your account instructions. Each partner provides their own information and completes identity verification. The government license fee is separate.

  3. Upload your license and schedule

    Once your license is issued, upload it to your account and continue to ceremony scheduling. Coordinate the date and time with your partner.

  4. Attend your wedding

    Join the live call with a working camera and microphone. After the ceremony and required filing, the certificate process begins.

A few details make it easier

Prepare a setting where you can be present

You do not need a formal venue. Choose a place where you can hear clearly, see the screen and take part without unnecessary interruptions.

  • Check the camera, microphone and internet at each location.
  • Confirm the ceremony time, including the time zone.
  • Decide whether to bring your own witnesses or use ours.
  • Have rings ready if you plan to exchange them.
  • Make sure anyone joining knows how to access the call.

Understand the legal and document steps

Your certificate and where you plan to use it

Same-sex marriage is legal throughout the United States. A valid marriage still needs the proper license, an authorized officiant, the required participation and witnesses, and completed filing.

Using a certificate in another country is a separate question. Recognition of same-sex marriages and remote ceremonies varies. Do not assume that choosing an online ceremony or obtaining an apostille guarantees acceptance for a particular application.

If immigration is part of your plans

Same-sex spouses can qualify for U.S. spousal immigration benefits under the applicable requirements. The marriage alone does not grant immigration status. If you will attend from separate places, get advice about the requirements that apply to a remote ceremony before choosing your filing plans.

If privacy matters to your plans

You can choose who you invite to the ceremony. The marriage still creates an official record, and your application requires personal information. Ask our team about the process if you have privacy questions before booking.

Questions you may have

Questions about your online wedding

Can same-sex couples use your service?

Yes. Same-sex couples can use our guided online marriage process and the same ceremony packages, subject to the required license and ceremony requirements.

Do we need to live together or travel to the same place?

No. You can join the live ceremony together or from different locations. Each person taking part needs to be able to see and hear the others.

Do we need to find witnesses ourselves?

You can bring two adult witnesses or use the witnesses we provide at no extra charge.

Can we keep the ceremony small?

Yes. You can limit the guest list. The officiant, both partners and two witnesses still take part in the live ceremony.

Will an apostille make our marriage recognized everywhere?

No. Authentication and marriage recognition are different questions. An apostille does not guarantee recognition of a same-sex marriage or a remote ceremony in another country.

What if one of our identification documents uses a different name?

Ask about the requirements before beginning the license application. Use accurate information that matches the required documents, and provide any supporting records requested through the application process.

Can we change our ceremony date if our plans change?

Contact the team about a new date. We are open to rescheduling when plans change.

Where can we ask about our circumstances?

Our team can help with ceremony preparation and package questions. For advice about recognition or immigration in your individual situation, speak with a qualified adviser. Contact our team ↗
