Simple Ceremony Special $100.00* at select locations
A beautiful and meaningful marriage ceremony is the beginning; not only of your wedding day, but more importantly of your lives together as Husband and Wife! Your wedding celebration starts with a charming ceremony completed your way. Your Wedding Officiant must be an experienced professional that works well with you. My responsibility as your Officiant is important to me. Our Simple Ceremony makes your marriage ceremony easy!
Your ceremony will be creatively crafted, well written, and professionally delivered at your wedding. I work with you so that your ceremony is completed as you want it to be. With years of experience as a wedding officiant, I have given many wedding formats besides the traditional procession. I am able to handle last minute complications with ease and speak well in front of any audience. It is my policy to arrive early to make sure everything is ready and your ceremony runs smoothly. Your paperwork is filed correctly and on time.
It has been an honor to provide professional personalized marriage service since 1999. I enjoy officiating all kinds of marriage ceremonies; from small weddings to large, informal to formal, inside or outside, working with or without a wedding planner, non-denominational or with religious format, budget weddings, do-it-yourself weddings, theme weddings, destination weddings, elopements, last minute and more!
One of the first steps to finding someone to marry you is to know what to expect. Please review all of the pages on this site for complete details. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about your Florida Marriage Ceremony!
After you select me as your Officiant, it is your choice to have a personalized ceremony or one which is already prepared. For a personalized ceremony, I will e-mail you a short ceremony questionnaire to complete. With your answers I develop your marriage ceremony with a proposed ceremony plan (who-goes-where-when) for your review. We will work together by e-mail and phone to further customize and edit your marriage ceremony. I have many options for you to choose from. You can revise or add to your vows, and even create your own. If you would like, you may include a unity ceremony after your marriage vows in your wedding ceremony. Some examples of unity ceremonies are: unity candle, sand unity, wine ceremony, rose ceremony, chocolate unity or hand ceremony; at no extra cost. On your wedding day you will be gently guided through the ceremony itself. Full details are on cost page.
After the wedding is complete, you will receive the formal printed package of your vows with a marriage certificate. The original marriage license is signed by your witness' (if any) and notarized. A courtesy uncertified copy of your completed license is e-mailed to you. It is my job as your Officiant to legally file the original completed marriage license with the Clerk of Court. The Clerk files the original and mails you the certified copy of your marriage license. For more information, see or click on: license .
It is a great responsibility to officiate the marriage and a privilege to marry couples in love. It is my policy to be the marriage officiant I would like to have: someone who is easy to work with, friendly, helpful and reliable. I feel the marital relationship is of great importance. I love weddings and the joy of the marriage ceremony! The happiness in the eyes of the Bride and Groom when they are giving their vows to each other is especially beautiful. Being an officiant is an honor, and I hope you will select me as your officiant for your wedding day.
