The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
~ Helen Keller
Our Simple Ceremony Guitarist
Add stunning ambiance to your wedding with elegant live guitar. Entertain your guests and enhance the romance in your ceremony. A live musician adds quality, is far more flexible & impressive than recorded canned music and gives charm to any wedding ceremony; large or small. Skilled guitarist plays for your guests while they are arriving, being seated and are patiently waiting for your wedding to begin. Gentle music accompanies the bridal party (if any), then the Wedding March is played for the Bride, followed by the grand finale of the march and recessional for bridal party. After the marriage,the musician continues to play as the Bride and Groom enjoy congratulations from their guests (in the reception line or are being photographed; for approx. 20 after finale). Recorded artist will play acoustic or brings quality sound system. Only $50.00 with Officiant. Listen to the guitarist play in the videos in this site.
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. I have given many wedding formats besides the traditional procession. With years of experience as a wedding officiant, I am able to speak well in front of any audience. I handle last minute complications with ease and efficiency. 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 view the video at the very bottom of this page and review all of the pages on this site for complete details. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about a Florida Marriage Ceremony!
After you select me as your Officiant, I will e-mail you a ceremony questionnaire; then with your answers develop a complete marriage ceremony for your review. You may either use the marriage ceremony submitted, or 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 change or add to the vows, and even create your own. If you would like, you may include a unity ceremony with your marriage vows; such as the unity candle, sand, wine, rose or hand ceremony, at no extra cost.
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.
