Say “I Do” in Santa Clarita

Love is in the air in the City of Santa Clarita through the City Hall Ceremonies program. To many couples, the idea of a large, traditional wedding can feel extremely daunting, overwhelming and costly. A ceremony at City Hall lets you craft the marriage experience you want, without the extra cost or late-night stress that comes with a more conventional ceremony.

Did you know that the average cost of a wedding was just over $27,000 in 2022? While a wedding ceremony at City Hall costs just $73! Couples will have their choice of several beautiful locations at City Hall for their nuptials, including Council Chambers, in front of the lobby mural or outside with the fountain as a tranquil backdrop. The City will have an officiant present to oversee the ceremony and a staff photographer will be provided, although couples are encouraged to bring their own photographer to en- sure they get the special pictures they desire.

For couples who already have a venue picked out and a ceremony planned, the City is pleased to offer confidential marriage licenses for marriages within the State of California. For those couples who can’t wait to tie the knot, the convenient onestop service can provide you with a marriage license and ceremony on the same day! Marriage ceremonies are performed, by appointment only, on Wedding Wednesdays.

Make sure to follow the City of Santa Clarita on social media to find out about enhanced wedding services like the recent The Big I Do. Taking place on Valentine’s Day, this beautiful event married six couples at the same time in a lavish ceremony and beautiful reception.
