Why get married in Los Angeles and Disneyland?

Wherever you go, you’ll find beautiful weather and beautiful people. Hollywood is capital of the movie world, while Beverley Hills is thronged with stars. Disneyland, meanwhile, is home to Mickey Mouse!

Los Angeles is the largest city in California, set on the southern coast of California, 75 miles north Mexico and 400 miles south of San Francisco. The Pacific coast bounds it on the west and the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains form the border to the east.

Along the Pacific shore, Malibu and Santa Monica are the best‐known high‐class beach resorts, while Venice Beach is better known for the bikini roller blade set.

What kind of wedding ceremony can I have in Los Angeles and Disneyland?

A full‐on fairytale wedding is available in Disneyland, while Los Angeles offers a huge choice of sunny weddings. You can choose to marry in a chapel, in beautiful gardens, or star in your own blockbuster in Hollywood.

Ordained ministers of a church, judicial officers, clerks of the circuit courts and notaries of the state can perform legally recognised marriage ceremonies.
