Question: |
We've decided we want to get married on the beach. What do we have to do first. |
| Answer: |
The most important thing is to pick the date
and time. We do several hundred weddings on our beautiful beaches
each year so the earlier you reserve your date the better.
|
| Question: | Do you pick the location or do we get to do that? |
| Answer: |
Normally we come to you. If you make reservations at a beachfront property we usually can perform the ceremony on the beachfront. If you are not staying on the beach we usually arrange to meet you at one of our beachfront parks to perform the wedding.
|
| Question: | If we want to get married in front of our hotel or condo do we have to get permission? |
| Answer: |
Most property managers allow weddings, especially if you are renting several units from them. Lately some properties have been trying to charge fees to get married on the public beach. Please check with us and we can guide you in choosing a "wedding friendly location".
|
| Question: | We have a friend that takes photographs. Can we use him rather than your photographer? |
| Answer: |
Of course your can. You might end up with snapshots rather than professionally posed wedding pictures. Our photographers are skilled in taking photos on our bright white beaches framing their pictures to eliminate as much undesirable background as possible so that you will get real professional results.
|
| Question: | Will there be other people on the beach? |
| Answer: |
All beaches in the State of Florida are public so there are usually people on the beach. There are a lot fewer in the off season. Most people enjoy seeing a beach wedding and in most cases they will not bother the wedding party.
|
| Question: | What happens if it rains? |
| Answer: |
You will get wet. But seriously we usually have a "Plan B". In bad weather we stay in contact with you so that we can move to a sheltered location someplace on the property. We sometimes move to one of the beachfront parks that have covered pavilions.
|
| Question: | This is a second marriage for us and we have children. Can we include them in the ceremony? |
| Answer: |
Many couples do this by presenting the children with a necklace or other small piece of jewelry to signify that they are all joining together as one family. Our officiates have special verses that they can include in the wedding for this purpose.
|
| Question: | We want to write some of our own vows. Is that OK? |
| Answer: |
Certainly. It make the ceremony more
meaningful and we are delighted to include any personal touches you want
to include.
|
| Question: | What do we do with the license. |
| Answer: |
The Notary will need to see the license
before the ceremony. In most cases they will sign and seal it
after the wedding and send it back to the Courthouse from which you
bought it. It will then be recorded and mailed to the address of
your choice. In some cases couples want to take the license with
them when they return home. In that case the Notary will sign and
seal the license and give it to the Bride and Groom to file. |
| Question: | Why do you recommend that we let you handle the entire wedding? |
| Answer: |
Is has been our experience that your wedding will go smoother with less chance for glitches if you let Beach Weddings provide all the services. When we book your wedding we assemble the team that will be performing the various services. We have all worked together hundreds of times before and everybody knows exactly what to do and when. Our officiates help our photographers and video people so that you get all the right pictures. The right music is played at the right time and the decorations are all placed so that you have the best possible light and background for your wedding photos. |
