  FOR YOUR INFORMATION

​

  • A Marriage License is required in the state of Florida. Residents have a waiting period of 3 days. An application can be completed online but must be printed out and delivered to one of the Broward County Courthouse Offices.  Applicants must appear in person and a fee is required.  Please click the link below to access the Broward County Clerk of Courts Marriage License page for all the information you may need.  Please contact them directly with any questions. .  https://www.browardclerk.org/Divisions/Marriage#ApplicationInformation 

  • If you are planning an outdoor wedding (for example at the beach or a park), please be aware some cities and/or parks may require a permit, charge rental fees or may have specific rules you have to follow in order to utilize their location for your ceremony. (Many do not have special requirements, but some do.) When you decide on a location be sure to contact the appropriate authority to verify what is needed.  This is the responsibility of the Bride and Groom.  These fees, if applicable, are not included in our packages.

  • An outdoor ceremony is an amazing option. The nature that surrounds us in Florida offers a beautiful backdrop. It's easy to plan a simply perfect wedding without spending a small fortune on a venue and dealing with all the stress that goes with it. Marry Me By The Sea offers several packages that provide for an intimate and memorable affair...while at a modest cost.  There are many pro's to an outside wedding, however we realize that Mother Nature often gives cause for concern on such an important day. With that in mind, we do suggest that the Bride and Groom have a back up plan.  In the event weather conditions are not ideal on the day of your ceremony, we will accommodate an alternate location, given a few hours notice and within a similar distance.  

  • A 50% deposit is due at the time of booking and balance of fee is due no less than 72 hours prior to the scheduled ceremony. Deposits are non-refundable. If a cancellation must be made and you wish to reschedule, the deposit is transferable toward the reschedule date, ONLY if notice of cancellation and desire to reschedule is given at least 14 days prior to the initially scheduled event AND if the reschedule date is within 6 months.

  • Marry Me By The Sea is business partners with Limo Now. If you choose one of our packages that includes luxury transportation we are happy to provide additional photos of vehicle. Limo Now is also very accommodating (by appointment only) if you wish to see it in person. The vehicle type included in our package(s) is a white Chrysler 300 Jet Door....(unless you choose the POSH Royal Treatment package which includes the Vintage Rolls Royce). The Chrysler Jet Door seats 12 adults comfortably. (Limo service is inclusive of certain package(s)....package fees are paid directly to Marry Me By The Sea.)

  • For a small fee we also offer chair rental (maximum of 10) just for those participants or attendees that might not be able to stand for the duration of the ceremony.   Please inquire if needed. 

  • The Bride and Groom may provide their own script for the ceremony (as long as script can be performed within the allowed amount of time) or we are happy to assist with this.  Please be aware however, we do not write a ceremony specific script or vows. We can provide standard script/vows. The Bride and Groom are welcome to revise the script or provide their own personal vows to be exchanged during the ceremony. 

  • Officiants dress professionally in black slacks and a white top. If a beach wedding, Officiant would be barefoot for safety reasons. 

  • If you're interested in hiring a photographer, we can make suggestions for your consideration. Photography is not included  in any of our packages.  It is ultimately the final decision of the Bride and Groom who they hire, if they so choose.

  • Due to the nature of our business we are rarely in the office.  It is difficult to catch us in and for this reason we do not make appointments. However, we are very accessible and easy to communicate with via phone, text message or email.  We're happy to do a "face to face" via Skype or FaceTime as well. 

  • Additional fee applies if you want Officiant to attend a rehearsal prior to the scheduled ceremony. (Subject to availibility.)  This is not required as the responsibilities of the Officiant are generally very similar with each ceremony.
