How to Get Married Virtually from Two Different Locations

Yes, you can say “I do” — even if you’re thousands of miles apart.

Long-distance relationships aren’t easy — and getting married when you’re in two different places can feel impossible.

But the truth is: you can get married virtually, even if you’re not in the same city, state, or country. Whether you're separated by borders, travel restrictions, military service, or visas, there's a way to make your commitment real, meaningful, and beautifully personal — through a virtual wedding ceremony.

At LoveLifeWedding.com, we help couples around the world say “I do” over Zoom with a live, remote officiant — even when they’re in two different locations.



Here's how it works — and how you can do it too.

1. How a Virtual Wedding from Two Locations Works

When you're not physically together, your ceremony happens live over video, with a professional officiant hosting your wedding on Zoom.

You and your partner each join the video call from your respective locations — whether that’s across the state or across continents. Your guests can watch live from wherever they are too

A typical setup looks like this:

  • You: In your own space (home, Airbnb, hotel, etc.)
  • Your partner: In theirs
  • Your officiant: On Zoom, guiding the entire ceremony live
  • Your guests: Joining from all over, muted until it's time to celebrate!

You’ll exchange vows, say “I do,” and even hold a virtual toast — all live and on screen.

2. Is It Legal?

Yes, it is! — you will get a marriage license from a jurisdiction that makes this legal. 

Not every U.S. state allows remote or virtual marriages to be performed with their marriage license. All virtual wedding companies go through the jurisdiction of Utah due to their laws they have in place to make this legal and valid for couples around the world.

At LoveLifeWedding.com, we’ll help you:

  • Get your marriage license in the correct jurisdiction
  • Feel secure that all federal and local laws are followed
  • Receive a legal marriage certificate after your ceremony

3. What You’ll Need

To make your virtual two-location wedding go smoothly, here’s what we recommend:

✅ Stable Wi-Fi or mobile signal at both locations

✅ A device with a camera microphone (laptop, tablet, or phone) 

✅ A tripod or prop to keep the camera steady 

✅ Earbuds or quiet surroundings for clear audio 

✅ A plan for music, vows, and rings (we help with all of this)

Bonus: Some couples decorate their space, dress up, and even involve a small group of friends or family locally while others join online!

4. How to Make It Feel Intimate & Real

Even when you're apart, your wedding should still feel personal, emotional, and beautiful.

Here are a few ways our couples bring heart to the screen:

  • Write your own vows and read them live to each other
  • Include guests in readings, toasts, or prayers
  • Play your song and do a first dance
  • Exchange rings on camera or mail them ahead of time

We’ll walk you through every step and help you build a script that reflects your story and relationship.

5. Why Couples Are Choosing Virtual “Split Weddings”

More and more couples are choosing to marry virtually for reasons like:

  • Immigration delays or international border restrictions
  • Military deployment
  • Visa limitations or legal barriers
  • Travel costs or long-distance careers
  • The desire to start life together — now, not later

Virtual weddings give you a way to honor your love and create a milestone moment without waiting for perfect timing.
