The San Diego County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk’s Office has announced that the downtown office will be open for civil wedding ceremonies on Valentine’s Day, which lands on a Saturday.<\/p>\n
It’s the first time the ARCC’s office will be open on a weekend for marriage licenses and wedding ceremonies. The office is located at the County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, and will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Feb. 14.<\/p>\n
“Our team loves being part of your love story,” Assessor-Recorder- County Clerk Jordan Marks said in a statement. “When most government offices close their doors on Saturdays, I am making sure to open ours so love can win on Valentine’s Day 2026.”<\/p>\n
Marks serves as San Diego County commissioner of civil marriages.<\/p>\n
Couples can book Valentine’s Day appointments online at sdarcc.gov or call 619-237-0502. Walk-in appointments also will be available.<\/p>\n
Marriage vows can be exchanged at an outdoor arbor at Waterfront Park with the County Administration Center as a backdrop, or indoors in one of several ceremony rooms, according to Marks.<\/p>\n
Cost for a marriage license is $129, while the cost for an ARCC staff member to perform the ceremony in English or Spanish is an additional $107.<\/p>\n
On average, the ARCC office provides almost 25,000 marriage licenses and performs more than 11,000 weddings annually. Valentine’s Day is typically one of the most sought-after days at the ARCC office for couples to get married, Marks said.<\/p>\n
“Whether you’re getting married or renewing your vows, our team can’t wait to celebrate your Valentine’s Day love story,” Marks said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Diego County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk’s Office has announced that the downtown office will be open for civil…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,76,75,69411,21900],"class_list":{"0":"post-150084","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-san-diego","9":"tag-san-diego-headlines","10":"tag-san-diego-news","11":"tag-valentines-day","12":"tag-weddings"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
