Frequently Asked Questions
How does a marriage elopement service work?
Wedding Wise specializes in small budget-friendly marriage ceremonies that focus on a couple’s love and commitment rather than a big production. It’s just enough time to get everyone seated, perform the marriage and take lots of pictures. We enjoy 2 hours at the venue.
What are couples responsible for on their wedding day?
Couples should arrive at the venue dressed and ready for pictures and the ceremony. They should bring their CA Marriage Certificate, Wedding Rings and All Bridal Party Flowers.
What types of photography services does Wedding Wise offer?
Wedding Wise offers 2 hours of wedding day coverage by a professional photographer at the venue. Arrival, Marriage Ceremony, Newlywed Couple and Pictures with Guests will be taken. Before leaving, the photographer will load all of the digital pictures onto a USB thumb drive for the couple to take home that day.
Can we bring our own photographer to the wedding?
Yes, Wedding Wise offers the option for Couples to bring their own wedding photographer. If you supply your own photographer $200 will be deducted from the package price.
Does the Wedding Wise Officiant register our marriage certificate with the State of California?
Yes, after the wedding ceremony, the officiant will sign the certificate, collect the signatures of the couple and the witness, and mail the certificate to the state. A USPS Priority Mail tracking number will be provided to the couple.
Can we bring our own officiant to the wedding?
Yes, Wedding Wise offers the option for Couples to bring their own Wedding Officiant. There is no discount from the package price if you supply your own Officiant.
What types of Faith does Wedding Wise provide ceremonies for?
Love is Love. Regardless of any religion Wedding Wise offers marriage ceremonies to couples who want to commit their lives to each other.
Can the couple write their own vows?
Of course!
Can we bring alcohol and/or cake to celebrate with after the ceremony?
Only certain Wedding Wise Venues allow food / drinks / alcohol. Browse through our venue list and to find the best one for your wedding needs.
How far in advance should we book our wedding?
Booking a few weeks in advance is recommended. However, Wedding Wise is able to perform a ceremony with just a few days notice – as long as you already have the marriage certificate and there is availability on the calendar.
Is the $500 booking deposit refundable?
Unfortunately, no. The $500 deposit is non-refundable. When you book a ceremony we make reservations with the venue, officiant and the photographer. This blocks the opportunity for other couples to book their services during that time. However, the $500 deposit is transferrable to a different date if it is done 7 days or more before the original booking.
The largest wedding package only allows 16 guests?
Yes. Wedding Wise offers intimate budget-friendly ceremonies. If you are considering a courthouse wedding or backyard wedding our services would be great fit.
How do we calculate the guest count?
Anyone other than the Bride, Groom, Officiant and Photographer is considered a Guest.
Does Wedding Wise offer a vowel renewal ceremony?
Absolutely! Any of our Wedding Packages can be used as a vowel renewal ceremony.
What local spots does Wedding Wise recommend to have a reception?
Check out our Reception Ideas Page for a list of Restaurant Banquet Rooms and Beer / Wine tour links.
