Wedding ceremonies
Simple, intimate civil ceremonies in the language you prefer, at the place you choose.
Florida law authorizes state Notaries Public to solemnize marriages. It's the option for couples who want something short and uncomplicated: at home, in a park, on the beach or in a relative's backyard.
You obtain the marriage license from the county Clerk of Court. I officiate the ceremony, sign the license and make sure it's returned to the Clerk within the deadline the law sets.
The ceremony can be in Spanish, English or both, and you decide whether you want personalized vows or the brief civil text.
