| FLORIDA BEACH WEDDING INFORMATION Many of your important questions answered! The following are frequently asked questions regarding your beach wedding ceremony. We STRONGLY recommend reading the following information before reserving your beach wedding. |
The following Florida Beach Wedding Information should answer most of your
questions. We recommend you read this page, before reserving your package.
Do I need a Florida Marriage License to get married in Florida? Yes! You must obtain your own
FLORIDA 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 of our packages.
You must obtain AND bring your Florida marriage license to your wedding ceremony.
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 or substitutions.
Beach wedding attire (including hair and veil): Any type of wedding attire is great for a beach wedding. A
bride's dress can never be too formal, even if the groom is opting to wear khakis and a dress shirt. Brides keep in mind
for your hair and veil: Even on the best of beach days, there usually is a breeze. So, remember to have extra pins to
pin up unruly bangs or fly-away curls. A veil is beautiful at a beach wedding, but a long veil can easily be twisted in the
wind.
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 for their service (based
on availability)
Can we bring our own officiant or minister? Yes, you are welcome to have your own minister or officiant (no
deductions or substitutions will be issued for bringing your own officiant or minister. 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 (ceremony only).
Do I have to find my own beach wedding location? We have locations available for your beach wedding. Or,
we can use your beach wedding location as long as you have received permission and their is reasonable beach access
for us, and your guests. We will determine which area of the beach will be best for your ceremony set-up.
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. You will also be responsible for any fees they may charge to use the beach in front of their facilities.
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.
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 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, chairs, etc... 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.
Can I have petals or bird seed to throw at our wedding? You can only use real petals. We do not
recommend bird seed as it attracts too many birds. Bubbles and tiny seashells may be used.
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 or hotel(decorations may not be able to be used at the alternate ceremony
site -- we will set up our decorations only once). 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).
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.... If you are
late, this also will shorten your available photography time.
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. 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.
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 48 guests, a permit may have to be obtained. Note: Some
of our smaller packages, have guest limitations and these limitations are enforced.
For the packages that have a guest limit number: If you purchase one of our packages that have a guest limit
number, and you will have more guests than expected, you will have to upgrade to a package that can accommodate
your guest number. Some of our packages are set-up specifically for smaller weddings. They are not meant for larger
weddings. So, please don't choose one of the smaller packages with a guest limit number, if will go over the guest
limit -- additional charges will apply and will need to be paid in cash BEFORE the start of your ceremony.
What kind of music will I have at my ceremony? 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 your songs from our play list. 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 use your own photographer, our photographer will not be present and no credit or
substitutions will be issued (THE ONLY EXCEPTION: If you hire our exclusive photographer, Kayla Michelle
Photography). Also, any of our "props" that our own photographers use, will not be available. We take photographs
right before, during and, a couple of poses after the ceremony. You will have the option of purchasing additional
photography time. This will include many more photos, poses, and use of our props. With the additional photography
time, you will receive all the of the photos we have taken on a free photo CD (along with a copyright release letter).
We are not responsible for any equipment malfunctions. We are not responsible for full editing of photographs. Our
main goal is to take the best photos possible, but some things, including weather, natural lighting, timing, equipment
malfunctions, disruptive guests, other people on beach, tardiness of the bride and groom, may have an effect on your
photography.
When does the photography start, and how long does it take? We start the photography when the ceremony
is about to begin. We take photos during the ceremony and some poses immediately after the ceremony. If you
have purchased the additional photography time, the after ceremony photos will take approximately 30 - 45 minutes,
depending on the number of guests, guest and family cooperation, etc... If you are late for your ceremony, you will
also forfeit some after ceremony photography time and no refunds will be issued.
Can the photographer also take our reception photos? No. Our photographers are our own staff
photographers. They are available for our beach wedding ceremonies only. (One exception: If you hire Kayla Michelle
Photography).
Do you take care of the reception?: Once your wedding package is reserved, we can recommend reception
venues and/or restaurants in the area.
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 and 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, no refunds will be issued, all monies forfeited, and no reschedule of wedding
date will be offered.
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 30 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.

Year's Eve, New Year's Day

every wedding is as unique as the bride and groom. With Premiere Beach Weddings, you will be able to purchase a
package, but have the freedom to choose: Choose the colors, ceremony, and music to make your beach wedding
