Our Wedding Services
We want to make your special day a memorable and personal experience. Due to our commitment to you and to making this the most special day of your lives, we are happy to customize and personalize your ceremony. We have found that coordination with the other vendors providing specialized services at your respective ceremony is the key to success!
Premarital Counseling
With the many challenges that face couples today, we encourage premarital counseling to assist and provide couples with the tools necessary to continue in a loving and fulfilling marital relationship. This is especially true if the couple come from different religious, cultural, or social backgrounds.
In support of making your marriage a long and successful one, we offer this service to our couples. We are also happy to provide a referral to another qualified professionals in our network.
*For those couples seeking a Certificate of Premarital Course completion to waive the three-day waiting period and receive a discounted fee for the Florida Marriage License, a minimum of four (4) hours must be completed by personal instruction, video, or other electronic means.
Customized Ceremony
We specialize in customizing ceremonies to make them a loving and personal experience, one to be remembered by you and your loved ones throughout your lives together. Our ceremonies may also be customized to incorporate any special cultural or religious requirements you may desire. This is your special day, the first day of the rest of your lives together.
In support of making your wedding day and marriage a happy and successful one, we like to meet with our couples, in advance, to discuss the different types of ceremonies which are available to you and how to make your special day one to remember for a lifetime. If an advance meeting is not possible, we can provide this service by email or by phone by using simple questionnaires.
We recommend meeting with you in order for us to get to know one another and to learn more about you as a couple. We can then use this information to make your ceremony the most loving and special one it can be. You have complete control over what is or is not included in your ceremony.
