Reservation Form and Deposit
Before we get started, we want to let you know about our
reservation form. Found on this website under the “Book Your Event” tab, the reservation form must be completed and submitted, along with your deposit, to secure your wedding date and time on our calendar.
If you have your date and time already decided on, and haven’t made final decisions about other components of your ceremony, we recommend you complete the reservation form and choose “undecided” in the applicable fields. All design choices related to the décor for the packages can be changed up to a month before your ceremony date. Floral and Special Touches decisions can be changed up to two weeks before your ceremony date.
As always, you can contact our experienced wedding planners at any time if you have questions.

Choose a Date and Time, and Reserve It
This is where most brides and grooms start…deciding on a date and time. The date of your ceremony is a very special and personal process – choosing dates that have meaning in other ways in your life, or unique dates such as 11/12/13. Or even picking a date that is easy to remember, like your our your partner’s birthday or parent’s anniversary.
Once you have a date, you can either complete the reservation formand make your deposit now to reserve your date and time, or continue with the planning process. Once the reservation form is completed and the deposit has been made, you will be contacted by one of our friendly staff to review your details and welcome you! Our representative will prepare you a service agreement and send you additional information that will explain in more detail how the process will work and how it things will go on your wedding day.

To accomplish this, we have many different extras from which to choose to really make your ceremony your very own…we call them Special Touches.

Decide on a Location
We have many locations to choose from in many different areas – all over Florida! Location is important – many factors must be considered while choosing a location for your beach or land ceremony, such as close proximity to reception venues, adequate parking for your guests, beach and park traffic, whether restrooms are available and cleanliness of the area. Find the location that is right for you on our Locations Page. Remember to choose your location early, because a permit may be required and it could take up to 45 days to complete the permit process.
Review and Sign the Service Agreement
Once the reservation form is completed and the deposit has been made, you will be contacted by one of our friendly staff to review your details and welcome you! One of our Wedding Planners will prepare for you a service agreement which will be sent to you via email which you will need to sign and return to us. For your convenience, you will be able to sign the contract electronically.…no need to print and mail it back – just sign from the email!
The contract must be returned within ten (10) days of the effective date or fourteen (14) days prior to ceremony, whichever date comes first – so please remember to read it thoroughly and return to us. As with anything else, if you have questions or need assistance, one of our wedding planners will be glad to help!
Obtain Your Permit
Please get your permit! If your beach location choice requires a permit, please attend to this as soon as possible. Some beaches have limitations on how many weddings can take place per day – get that permit now so you don’t lose your desired location. Also, the permit process can sometimes take up to 45 days to complete. If you haven’t decided on your exact location as of yet, please notify us as soon as you decide so we can get the permit process started! Don’t wait too long!
Obtain Your Marriage License
You must obtain a marriage license before the wedding! Please visit our marriage license page for all the details on obtaining a marriage license in the state of Florida.
