Let’s walk through how we make it fast, easy, and respectful.


Why Same-Sex Couples Choose Virtual Same Day Marriage

The freedom to marry is a beautiful thing—but dealing with government offices, old-school officiants, or even judgmental vendors? Not so much.

That’s why so many same-sex couples are choosing to get married online through a service that’s fast, 100% legal, and fully inclusive.

Here’s why our LGBTQ+ clients trust us:

Is an Online Marriage Valid for Same-Sex Couples?

Absolutely. Same-sex marriage has been legal in all 50 states since the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision. And Utah’s online marriage law does not discriminate—meaning your legal marriage certificate is valid nationwide.

Many couples choose us because:

  • They want a safe, affirming experience

  • They live in states or regions where in-person options feel uncomfortable

  • They’re separated by distance or travel restrictions

  • They’re ready to start their immigration journey or access spousal benefits
