5. why did it close down? is it true they were performing weddings with no license?

6. I don’t know why they closed. It’s easy to become qualified to perform weddings. Actually, I’m thinking about getting ordained – just for fun.

10. I was married by a “pastor” at the Ivy House back in 2002. How can I find out if my marriage was even legal?

11. You can look up marriage record online (if your county website is equipped). If not, you can visit city hall (county clerk) and ask for the record. You can buy a copy of your wedding certificate for several Dollars.

    Email me if you have more questions.

12. I did go down 2 the ivy house 2 pay 325.00 for the paperwork 2 be processed and I did receive a marriage certificate in the mail, but if ivy house wasn’t licensed then my marriage wasn’t legal right? How can I find out if they were licensed?

13. If your local county government has a legal document saying that you are married – Then you are married. My main worry is that Ivy House never turned in your marriage license. If that’s the case, there will be no record of your marriage at all.

    Good luck. Can you update us?

14. Thank you for all ur help john. do u know of any websites or where I can go 2 find out if Ivy House was licensed?

15. Hi

    You shouldn’t really care if they were licensed or not. As long as you are legally married, that’s all it matters.

    What matters is – are you able to get a copy of your own marriage certificate? Does it exist?

    There is no point to track down your officiant to validate his past credential. So what if he was not qualified at that time? Will you get divorced and re-married just for the merit?

    Can you get a copy of your own marriage certificate? That’s my question. You should try and see if your county website has online database.

    Ventura County residents can look up marriage & divorce record from county website. I hope LA County website has similar system.

    I have a feeling you will be just fine. Really..

    Good luck.
