I don't think there's anything comprehensive online for California marriages in that time frame.  The best that can probably be done is to narrow down the time when they married, so you might be able to order the marriage certificate.

In the 1930 Census, there's Daniel & Elsie Burlingame in Los Angeles.  It says Daniel was age 48 & his age at 1st marriage was 25.  It says Elsie was age 32, and her age at 1st marriage looks like 23.  So, presumably,  Daniel was married before and perhaps married Elsie around 1921.  The 1922 California Voter Registration has a Mrs. Elsie W. Burlingame, housewife, at 2317 255th St., Los Angeles (the same address they were at in the 1930 Census), so that seems to fit a marriage by 1921.

In the 1920 Census, Marjorie & Charles are married & living in Lomita, California.  It says Marjorie immigrated in 1908 and was naturalized in 1919.  I think she may have been able to be naturalized by marriage, so that's a possible marriage date.  A WWI Draft Registration card from 5 Jun. 1917 shows Charles Ed. Sidebotham to be single and living in Arizona.  The 1930 Census has the Sidebothams (misspelled as Sidebottham) in Yosemite National Park.  It says Charles was age 37 & age at 1st marriage was 26, and Marjorie was age 33 and age at 1st marriage was 23.  So that too seems to fit a marriage date about 1919.
