California Sunset

In June, 2008, The City of West Hollywood and the Los Angeles County Register-Recorder Clerk began to issue marriage licenses and carry out civil ceremonies for same-sex couples. Home to Southern California’s largest gay and lesbian population, West Hollywood offers Los Angeles’ most popular gay nightclubs and 14 gay-friendly hotels including The Ramada Plaza Hotel West Hollywood, The Le Parc Suites Hotel, and The Sunset Marquis Hotel & Villas. The West Hollywood Marketing & Visitors Bureau promotes West Hollywood as a travel destination that is “Living Forward” in lifestyle, thought, and attitude.

“West Hollywood’s numerous venues, activities and resources for gay visitors, along with the City’s long-standing commitment to LGBT rights, make us an ideal destination for gay marriages and honeymoons,” said Amy Anderson, Director of Communications for the West Hollywood Marketing & Visitors Bureau. “The embracing energy of the city will contribute to making a couples’ marriage and memories very special, and fun.”
