Riverside & the Inland Empire, California

Officiant & Ceremony

In Riverside & the Inland Empire: Zero officiant and ceremony service vendors are listed for this region. The five entries below the listings are labeled alternatives, congregations rather than officiant services, and they are the honest starting point, along with the planners in this annex, who keep working lists of celebrants. Budget $250 to $900. The California rules are straightforward and two of them are useful here. A license is valid 90 days from issuance and is good anywhere in the state regardless of which county issued it, both of you must be 18 or older, and there is no residency requirement. California also offers a confidential license alongside the public one; the confidential form requires that you are already living together as spouses and needs no witness, which is worth knowing before you choose. The Inland Empire advantage worth naming: Riverside County runs a Deputy Commissioner of Civil Marriages for a Day program, letting a friend be sworn in to perform your ceremony, and not every California county offers it. Confirm the current program fee with the Riverside County clerk, and if you are marrying in San Bernardino County, ask that clerk's office directly what it offers, because the two counties do not necessarily run the same programs.

Churches and congregations

These are places of worship rather than for-hire officiants. Many will marry members of their own congregation, or couples willing to join and complete a marriage preparation course, and some will not marry non-members at all. Several also price the building, the clergy and the musician separately. Ask early what they require of you — policy varies widely between denominations, and between individual congregations of the same denomination.
