 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
The following are frequently asked questions regarding your beach wedding
ceremony. We strongly recommend reading the following information before
reserving your beach wedding:
Do I need a Florida Marriage License to get married in Florida? Yes! you must obtain your own marriage
license. You can obtain your Florida marriage license in any county in Florida. It does not have to be from the county you are getting
married in.
Residents of Florida: There is a three-day waiting period after you apply for your marriage license
Non-Florida Residents: There is no waiting period.
At this time, a Florida marriage license is $93.50, and is not included in any package price.
You will bring your marriage license to your wedding ceremony.
Do you perform vow renewals and commitment ceremonies? Yes! No licenses are needed. For a vow renewal,
you already have your official marriage certificate. A commitment ceremony is exactly what it sounds like: making a commitment in
front of family and friends. However, it is not legally binding.
Who performs the ceremony? A Florida Notary performs the legal marriage ceremony, vow renewal, and commitment
ceremony.
Can you provide a minister perform the ceremony? Yes, there is an additional charge
Can we bring our own officiant or minister? Yes you can bring your own minister or officiant. Just remember, the
officiant must be licensed in the State of Florida to perform ceremonies.
How long does the actual wedding ceremony take? The average beach wedding ceremony takes approximately 15
minutes.
Do I have to find my own beach wedding location? We have locations available for your beach wedding.
Can we have the wedding ceremony take place other than the beach? Yes, most of our decorations are
adaptable for other areas, such as outdoor decks, country clubs. We will still have to have reasonable access, plus permission from
the alternate venue.
Do you set-up and take down the ceremony decorations? We set-up and take down our own ceremony
decorations. We only use our own decorations. This is for the safety and enjoyment of you and your guests. We have taken the up
most care, creativity and work to produce our own decorations that can be secured properly at the beach. Your ceremony
decorations will be available for your use for one hour (starting 15 minutes before start of scheduled ceremony time).
Can I have petals or bird seed to throw at our wedding? You can only use real petals, and in some areas (St.
Augustine, for example), petals are not allowed. We do not recommend bird seed as it attracts too many birds. Bubbles and tiny
seashells may be used.
Who is responsible for obtaining permission in front of private residences/condos or hotels? You are
responsible for obtaining permission from private residences, condos, or hotels where you may want to have your ceremony.
Do I need a permit to get married on the beach? In some areas, a permit is needed. You will be responsible for any
permit or parking fees.
Are there private beach wedding locations? All beaches are public beaches. We make the most effort choosing our
sites that are less congested. There will probably be people visiting our beautiful beaches. However, they are usually most
respectful of your wedding celebration.
What happens if it rains? Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather. We will make every effort to have the ceremony on
the beach. If we can wait out a storm for a short period of time, we will. But if we can't, we will try and move the wedding to your
reception venue (decorations may not be able to be used at the alternate ceremony site). We are not responsible for finding you an
alternative site. Some parts, or all of our set-ups might not be able to be installed during inclement weather. If there is a Hurricane
Warning, we would be happy to reschedule the ceremony for another day (based on availability).
Who is responsible for finding an alternate indoor site? It is your responsibility to have a back-up plan. We will
set-up our decorations only once.
Deposit questions and information. A deposit is required to reserve the date. Your deposit is non-refundable, NO
EXCEPTIONS. Your deposit will be applied to the package price, so it will be deducted from the total price of the package.
Cancellation Policy: If you need to cancel within 30 days of ceremony date, you will have the option to reschedule one time,
up to six months from the original ceremony date, based upon availability. If you cancel within 29 days or less from the scheduled
ceremony date, your deposit, plus any monies paid to outside vendors, will not be refunded. If you cancel within 7 days of the
wedding ceremony, all monies paid will be forfeited.
When is my final payment due?: Final payment is due 30 days before the ceremony date. If you are scheduling your
wedding 30 days or less from the ceremony date, payment in full is expected at that time.
What if my final payment is late?: If your final payment is not paid within 15 days of ceremony date, a cash payment will
need to be made. It will be too late at this time for credit card or check payments.
Some Holidays will have extra charges added to the package -- which Holidays?: Easter Weekend,
Memorial Day Weekend, July 4, Labor Day Weekend, Thanksgiving Weekend, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New
Year's Day
CEREMONY TIME: We will give you a scheduled wedding time. When available, we will have you select your wedding time.
Keep in mind, later in the day is better -- less visitors at the beach, etc... If you are late for your own wedding, late fees will be
assessed, and, will have to be paid before the ceremony starts. If you are more than 45 minutes late, your wedding will be
cancelled, no rescheduling or refunds will be due. Promptness is requested due to the changing tide conditions, other weddings
that may be scheduled, courtesy to your waiting guests, etc...
Can I have a Sunrise or Sunset Wedding?: As good as these sound, keep the following in mind. Sunrise: The sun
rises very fast, and very early. If you are not on the beach exactly on time, you will miss the sunrise. Sunset: A lot of the beach
parks close at Sunset. Extra charges will apply for a Sunset wedding. You can have your beach wedding close to sunset, but you
must be on time. Remember, the sun will wait for no one! Weddings scheduled one hour before sunset are considered sunset
ceremonies.
Can the beach wedding packages be customized or changed? You will be able to choose your decorations,
flowers, ceremony and vows from our selections pages. However, we have put together packages for a reason, to give our couples
the best value for their money. Therefore, the packages are sold just as they are: All-inclusive beach wedding packages. If there
are some items you may not want (for example, the sand ceremony), we can eliminate them from your ceremony, but there will not
be any package discounts.
Are there extra charges for having a bridal party or wedding guests? We do not charge to have a bridal party
or guests. However, in some areas, if you have over 60 guests, a permit may have to be obtained. Note: Our Beach Beginnings,
Perfect Beginnings and our Aloha Packages have a guest limit number. These packages are not designed for larger weddings.
What kind of music will I have at my ceremony? For the Packages that include music: We will play a song as the
bridal party is walking (if you don't have a bridal party, this music will be played right before the ceremony is set to start), the bridal
march for the bride, and a song that will be played once you are pronounced man and wife. If your package includes your choice of
music, you will be able to choose any three songs you want. If your package includes just the traditional bridal music, you will still
have the choice of traditional or island-style (steel drum).
Ceremony photography information. Photography that is included in our packages: We use our own staff
photographers. If you want to hire your own professional photographer, our photographer will not be present and no credit will be
issued. Also, any of our "props" that our own photographers use, will not be available. We take photographs right before, during
and after the ceremony. You will have the option of purchasing additional photography time. This will include many more photos,
use of our props, and a free photo CD. ALONG with on-line photo viewing and ordering for your guests. We are not responsible for
any equipment malfunctions. We are not responsible for editing of photographs. Are main goal is to take the best photos possible,

have an effect on your photography. Our photographs are informal photographs of the ceremony and informal and posed pictures
before and after the ceremony.

about to begin. We take photos during the ceremony. We also take photos after the ceremony. If you have purchased the
