Picture your wedding day with only the details you actually want: your partner beside you, a few heartfelt promises, and a place where you feel comfortable saying them. Maybe your closest people are there. Maybe the moment belongs entirely to the two of you.
That is the appeal of an elopement. You can choose a smaller celebration and give it your full attention.
If you are exploring elopement packages in Los Angeles, Lucky Wedding Day offers a chapel setting in Encino where eligible couples can arrange a marriage license and ceremony together. Same-day appointments may be available, making it possible to turn “we should get married” into an actual wedding date sooner than you expected.
Start with Your Guest List, Even If It Has Only Two Names
Before choosing flowers or outfits, decide who you want beside you. Your guest count helps you choose the right package and keeps the planning manageable.
A wedding for just the couple offers privacy and freedom from coordinating everyone else’s schedules. An intimate ceremony with family can give you the warmth of a shared celebration while keeping the day simple.
Our chapel packages offer several sizes:
| Package | Attendance | Listed price |
|---|---|---|
| Happy | Couple only, no guests | $399.99 |
| Sweet | Up to 10 people, including the couple | $449.99 |
| Lovely | 11–20 people, including the couple | $549.99 |
| Luxury | 21–30 people, including the couple | $649.99 |

What Is Included in a Chapel Elopement Package?
Lucky Wedding Day’s listed packages include the chapel, wedding ceremony, ceremony music, marriage license, notary public, ordained minister, and first dance. Marriage license issuance is subject to eligibility requirements.
Having these services in one location gives you fewer arrangements to coordinate. You can concentrate on the choices that shape your experience: who attends, what you wear, and what you want to say to each other.
For couples comparing affordable elopement packages in Los Angeles, it helps to look beyond the starting price. Ask about optional services, certified-copy fees, and any charges associated with your specific plans so you understand the total before reserving.
Can We Book an Elopement and Get Married Today?
Eligible couples can obtain a California marriage license and have their ceremony on the same day. At Lucky Wedding Day, same-day marriage in Los Angeles depends on appointment availability and having the required documents ready.
Contact us before heading to the chapel. Tell us your preferred time, attendance count, and whether you already have a marriage license. If either partner has been married before, mention that when discussing your documents.
Both partners must attend in person with acceptable, valid identification. A same-day plan works best when these details are checked before you arrive.
Understanding the Confidential Marriage License
Our chapel can issue confidential marriage licenses to qualifying couples. Both partners must be at least 18, unmarried, and already living together as spouses when applying. You must both attest to that fact.
A confidential marriage ceremony does not require witnesses. That makes a couple-only elopement possible without asking a friend to attend solely to sign the paperwork. You can still invite loved ones if you wish.
The confidential marriage record also has restricted access: certified copies are generally available only to the spouses or through a court order. If you do not meet confidential-license requirements, ask about the appropriate licensing route before reserving your wedding.
Choose One or Two Details That Matter Most
Small weddings leave room for personal touches without a long planning checklist. Decide what you would most like to remember about the day, then build around it.
Perhaps you want to read private vows aloud. Perhaps you would love a first dance, beautiful photographs, or your parents watching you exchange rings. You do not have to include every wedding tradition to create a celebration that feels complete.
Ask about wedding photography and other ceremony add-ons when booking. Availability and additional costs should be confirmed in advance, especially for a same-day elopement.
You can also plan something simple afterward: lunch together, dinner with your guests, or a quiet evening enjoying the fact that you are married. The ceremony can be the beginning of a lovely day rather than the entire schedule.
Your Ceremony and Your Certified Certificate Have Different Timelines
After your wedding, the completed marriage license must be submitted to the county for registration. We handle that submission and can assist with ordering a certified marriage certificate.
Getting married today does not mean receiving a county-issued certified certificate today. The official copy follows county processing.
If an organization needs proof of marriage by a particular date, ask which document it accepts. Then discuss your timeline with us before booking. This is especially helpful when your plans involve benefits enrollment, travel, or other time-sensitive paperwork.
An Encino Elopement for Local and Visiting Couples
You do not need to live in California or be a U.S. citizen to marry here, although all applicable marriage and identification requirements still apply.
For visiting couples, an intimate wedding can become a memorable part of a Los Angeles trip. For locals, a wedding chapel in Encino offers a place to celebrate close to home. Either way, confirm your appointment before making travel arrangements.
