Photography:
If you would like professional wedding photos, we recommend making arrangements with one of the professional photographers on our recommended vendors list. Of course you may arrange for your own photographer as well. If you do not wish to hire a professional photographer, one of our staff will be happy to take snap shots of your wedding with your camera for a fee of $35, however, please understand that we are not professional photographers and can not guarantee the results.

Marriage License:
We will issue a Placer County marriage license right here at the Shore House. It requires a current and valid photo identification. There is no waiting period or blood tests necessary.

Ceremony:
We perform a beautiful non-denominational ceremony that concentrates on the vows and promises that the Bride and Groom are making to each other. Minor changes to our ceremony may be made at no extra charge. You can also be creative and design your own vows. Substantial changes to the ceremony may be made for an additional fee of $50.00. Any changes must be provided to us at least 7 days before the ceremony.

Time of day:
Wedding ceremonies can be performed between 12 noon and 3 pm on any day. Late afternoon and evening weddings can be arranged on certain days for small groups. Please discuss your time preference with us.

Payment:
We require a 50% advance payment, and the balance upon arrival. Cancellations made 14 days or more before the wedding date will receive a refund of your advance payment minus a $25.00 cancellation fee. Cancellations made closer than 14 days will forfeit the advanced payment.

You can include your family and friends who are not attending your wedding by giving them the web address of your personalized web-page, created specifically for you, displaying photos of your wedding.
