Chapel Wedding Planning

Fees

Fees vary depending on the amount of people and/or the amount of time requested for the use of the chapel. You could pick a smaller package and yet want more time so your fees would reflect one of our larger package prices. Example: You pick the the Sentimental package as you only have 20 people but you would like more time for pictures and want an additional 15 minutes so you would then be upgraded to our Traditional package.

All of our fees are “cash discount” fees. A convenience fee will be added for credit cards.

Prices Subject to Change Without Notice, but if you have made a deposit, no change in your fees will occur even if we have had to modify our fees due to increasing costs.

Deposits

All chapel rentals require a minimal of 50% deposit with balance due 1 month prior to your wedding. If less than 4 weeks before your wedding full payment is required. All deposits are non refundable if canceled once a deposit is made and if you change the date or time of your wedding, a rescheduling fee will be required.

Ministers

We have a wonderful staff of ministers, but if you would like to bring your own minister you can do so for the minister’s fee (sans gratuity of course)

Consultations

All consultations and planning are included in our packages and done by appointment only as our staff works at another location and only on site by appointment.

Rehearsals

Rehearsals for small weddings are typically not needed, but if you prefer to have one you are more than welcome to do so for the fees listed below. Most wedding rehearsals can be done in 1/2 hour unless you have a large entourage or if you are late for your appointed time and the time has to be extended.

REHEARSAL FEES

ONE HALF HOUR
$75

FORTY-FIVE MINUTES
$100

ONE HOUR
$125

The Day of Your Wedding

Please be a little early for your wedding. Since all chapel packages are time specific, you will take away from your ceremony if you are late and will be charged extra fees if you run over the time allowed if we are able to do so. We cannot guarantee additional time the day of the wedding as there may be another wedding after yours or the minister may have to leave to be on time for a Beach or Destination wedding.

Often, people under estimate how many people will be attending their wedding and the day of the ceremony, additional people can be added. However, if you only rented the chapel for ½ hour you may not get the additional time if we have another wedding right after yours or the minister has to leave to be on time for a Beach/Destination wedding in San Diego

Marriage License

Make an appointment for your marriage license within 90 days of the ceremony with the County Clerk’s office. If you forget to procure a marriage license or forget it the day of your wedding, the date will reflect sometime different than your ceremony and an extra fee will be charged for the minister to meet you another time.

The website for the County Clerk is: https://arcc.sdcounty.ca.gov/

They have 5 offices to serve you Monday through Friday 8am to 5 pm and are closed all major holidays.

Beach & Destination Wedding Planning

Book your Location

If you are date/time/location specific make your reservations well in advance. There are hundreds of locations in San Diego to get married, but some are more popular than others and book quickly. Don’t delay!

Fees

All our fees are via Venmo or Zell and a convenience/processing fee will be added for all credit cards including debit cards.

Prices Subject to Change Without Notice, but if you have made a deposit, no change in your fees will occur even if we have had to modify our fees due to increasing costs.

Deposits

All Beach and Destination packages require a minimum 50% deposit with balance due 1 month prior to your wedding. If less than 4 weeks before your wedding full payment is required. All deposits are non refundable if canceled once a deposit is made and if you change the date or time of your wedding, a rescheduling fee will be required.

Ministers

We have a wonderful staff of ministers, but if you would like to bring your own minister you can do so for a small fee reduction.

Consultations

All consultations and planning are included in our packages and we block off a couple of hours (more if needed) for a phone consultation workshop to build your wedding layout. We can send you samples ahead of time in your preliminary color scheme. Our web site and face book pages give you a plethora of images and locations to choose from and we can build your personal look by starting there with ideas you have already seen.  Custom designs where we have to purchase and create new items we don’t have in stock are done on a quote basis and can get rather expensive.  We do absorb some of this cost if we feel we can reuse the items for future weddings and will keep those items we contribute in paying for. We have an extensive inventory and this has only happened a few times over the last few years as most people will be able to put their ideas into place by choosing from what we already have in stock.  We only do the workshop once your deposit is made.

Rehearsals

If you feel a rehearsal is necessary we can either give you a print out on how to do your own rehearsal or configure a price point based on date/time and how long you want one of our staff to be there. The ceremony itself isn’t practiced the day of the rehearsal but the order of the service, the entrance of the wedding party and all relevant implementation (ex: sand/candle ceremonies, exchange of vows, rings, etc will be put in order) so you will feel comfortable with all aspects of the ceremony the day of the wedding.

The Day of Your Wedding

Regular appointment hours are 10 am to 7 pm and our last appointment is 6 pm. We do charge an additional $35 for traveling during heavy traffic hours from 2-7 Monday through Friday as it takes considerably longer to/from locations. After hours, Holiday, or special event days (Valentine’s Day, 4th of July, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day etc) are available at additional cost.

Timely weddings make for less stressful weddings for both the client and the business providing services. We can only allow a grace period of 15 minutes after your appointed time to begin your ceremony. Additional fees will be charged depending on how late you begin: $75 after 15 minutes, $100 for being 1/2 hour late, $150 for 45 minutes late, and $200 if you are an hour late and the minister agrees to stay and does not have to leave to go to another appointment. This must be paid via Venmo or Zelle at the time of the wedding. This does not include additional time for the photographer as their contracted time is the starting time of your wedding for 1 1/2  hours only and if you are late you will receive less photos or have to purchase additional time from the photographer and this has to be paid via Venmo or Zelle at the time of the wedding.

It is always best to suggest (Even if invitations are sent out) for the guests to arrive at a slightly earlier time than the minister and staff. That way you can have all of your guests ready to begin the ceremony on time.

Inclement weather: We will do your wedding at your location regardless of the weather but on occasion even beautiful sunny San Diego has rain and we cannot use our chapel as a backup as we are performing weddings there at the same time our Beach/Destination weddings are being performed.

Marriage License

Make an appointment for your marriage license within 90 days of the ceremony with the County Clerk’s office. If you forget to procure a marriage license or forget it the day of your wedding, the date will reflect sometime different than your ceremony and an extra fee will be charged for the minister to meet you another time.

The website for the County Clerk is: https://arcc.sdcounty.ca.gov/

They have 5 offices to serve you Monday through Friday 8am to 5 pm and are closed all major holidays.

Civil or Religious Meaningful Wedding Ceremonies

Our friendly staff helps you create a day to remember by personalizing your ceremony to your particular needs and beliefs. We respect all religious tenents and will gladly include any cultural, religious, or personal requests into your service.

Each minister does their own personalized ceremony but includes the bulleted point outline but you can add any personalization of something you want said/read as long as you send it to us prior to the wedding and not want to include it the day of.

Our ceremony includes, but is not limited to and can be edited to include/exclude:

  • The Lord’s Prayer
  • Introduction/Welcome to guests
  • Address to Parents
  • Address to Audience
  • Address to Singles
  • Address to Married Couples
  • Address to Children from previous marriage
  • Poems
  • Vows (Ours or your own personal Vows)
  • Ring Ceremony
  • Candle, Water, or Sand Ceremony
  • Cultural (Veil, Cord/Lasso Ceremony, Arras, Broom Jumping, or any other cultural traditions)
  • Rose Ceremony
  • Prayer of Blessing
  • Pronouncement

You are welcome to have a Theme Wedding (Halloween, Country Western, Renaissance, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, Star Trek, Pilgrim, etc) which has been quite popular over the years. If you want the minister to participate in costume, you must provide it at your cost.

We also perform ceremonies in Hot Air Balloons, on Horseback, on the trolley, the train, airplanes, 3 wheelers in the desert, yachts, row boats, motorcycles, parades, and even as a padre at the San Diego Stadium. If you can imagine it, we can be a part of your dream!

Special Note from the Owner

Our job is to ensure you will be happy with our services and refer us to your friends and family. Any suggestions or ideas you feel may improve our services to the community, please feel free to let us know. If there is a problem or concern, let’s work together to solve it before the wedding.

Although we have boxes of thank you notes and cards and 100’s of emails over the years because over half of our business is referral, your positive reviews with social media (google, msn, yelp, etc ) will help ensure many more years of continued success.

It is my fervent wish that all of you experience a full and happy union that lasts a lifetime. Thank you all for the many years of using our services for your wedding.

God Bless You All!

Sherry is very nice. She knows what she is doing. All of my stress went away after the consultation.

Kim Bush Miller said:

I had such a great experience with Lynn and Sherry! They made the whole process so easy and painless! Very helpful and professional every step of the way and I would highly recommend them! Thank you again for making our wedding such a special day! We appreciate you!

Alicia Sanchez said:

We got married at Anytime Wedding Chapel in March 2017. I cannot be more happy with the choice we made. I specifically searched for a chapel that was aligned with my faith…with our faith. It was a negative review that let me know this was where my partner of 20 years and I would finally make it right. I am very grateful for the person who done so. Lynn and Sherry were wonderful. The communication through emails was very detailed and considerate. The pricing is excellent with such a variety of choices. Martin K., photographer, gave me some good tips on how to relate to a camera. I love our pictures! Oh, and we left our ring box in the chapel. We thought one of our kids left it outside. It was custom made by my husband with a cherished picture in it. Sherry found it and sent it home to us. Thank you so much. Also, for searching for the gold sand! Thank you for sharing in our long awaited day. Blessings!

My husband and I had anytime wedding chapel services (creating memories package) for our coranado beach wedding and I couldn’t be more pleased. Sherry was a sweetheart and our photographer was amazing taking many shots with friends and family, and even staying just alittle longer just to get the perfect shot. The ceremony was beautiful and I enjoyed the sand ceremony. My wedding was kind of last minute due to my husbands deployment but they still managed to work with us for dates and times. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone having a elope wedding 🙂

Jessica L. said:

I just wanted to say a big Thank you to Lynn & Sherry for their time and wonderful communication. We met with Sherry for a consultation this past weekend for our upcoming wedding in September. She went over using the Chapel or having a beach wedding which is what we really wanted. She gave us many locations to go check out based on what we wanted. She took the time to ask us about us and gave us background on her and her family. Within the next few days I had several communications through emails with Lynn. If I had a question it was usually answered within hours, even on the weekend. That shows to me they have great customer service, but it was also the way they showed they cared. In the end we have decided that we wanted to do more for our honeymoon and so we are choosing to have our ceremony done at the courthouse. When I wrote back to explain this to Lynn, I got only the warmest wishes and a thanks for thinking of their company. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone in the future. BIG THANKS AGAIN LADIES 🙂

Candace Beaumont said:

This is about the 6th or 7th  (maybe even more than that) wedding that I have attended in our family at this chapel over the last 15 years and I must say that we keep coming back because the services are reasonably priced, the ministers do a fantastic job of expressing the real meaning of marriage and the chapel itself is lovely.  Thank you for being there for our family whether the weddings were planned months or even weeks in advance.  We will continue to highly recommend you.

Tanya Rushby said:

We decided 4 weeks before the big day that we were going to get married in San Diego. I stumbled across anytime wedding chapel through google search. We could not have been happier with the service. The communication levels where excellent, I got mixed up with the payment (card fees/U.K.-US fees) but when I re read the email I realized it was my fault. They where super clear and transparent.

The wedding day instructions of where to meet the minister and photographer was perfect. White bench, near the jetty on Coronado beach. As we arrived, they did, it was perfect. The photographer went out of his way to make the photos perfect. The minister had an amazing voice and made us feel relaxed and excited. We never actually met the people we corresponded with, but I feel like I did with the levels of communication. It was all done via email- no phone calls- no visits to them.
Just nice and simple!

Highly recommend!!!

Candice L. said:

Everything was perfect and exactly how we wanted it! Super easy, great price and nothing but nice, and caring service for my husband and I. We live in Los Angeles so we emailed and spoke via phone. No matter how many questions or what time of day or night it was, they got back to me in a timely manner. My ceremony was PERFECT! As well as the photographer Noel! I will definitely refer my friends and family!
