Getting Legally Married in Big Sur

  1. Marriage License: Obtain a California marriage license within 90 days of your elopement from any county clerk's office. The nearest options include Monterey County Clerk near Big Sur or other offices statewide.

  2. Simplify the Process: We recommend working with a wedding officiant who can assist with paperwork and guide you through the legal steps. 

  3. Legal Ceremony Options: Choose a public license (officiant + witness required) or a confidential license (officiant only). If you'd rather handle the legal ceremony back home if you live out of state, opt for a symbolic ceremony in Big Sur.

By having a celebrant or planner manage the details, you can fully focus on enjoying your elopement experience.
