Can You Officiate a Beach Wedding, Elopement or Small Intimate Ceremony?

Yes. Rings, Bells and Bliss provides wedding officiating for beach weddings, elopements and intimate ceremonies throughout my listed service area.

A meaningful wedding doesn't have to mean a large guest list or a ballroom full of people.

For some couples, their perfect wedding might be standing on the beach with a few people they love. For others, it might be a backyard, home, park or another intimate setting.

Whatever size wedding you're planning, the ceremony still deserves care and attention.

Do you officiate beach weddings?

Yes.

Beach weddings are available throughout my service area, including communities such as St. Petersburg, Pass-a-Grille, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores and the Redington beaches.

If you already have a particular beach in mind, tell me when you inquire.

Couples are responsible for checking with the appropriate municipality, park or property manager regarding any permits, reservations or site requirements that may apply to their chosen location.

What about an elopement?

Elopements can be a wonderful choice for couples who want a smaller, more intimate experience.

And choosing an elopement doesn't mean your ceremony can't be personal.

I can work with you to create the ceremony you're envisioning and provide assistance with ceremony and vow writing.

Can you come to our home or backyard?

Yes.

Rings, Bells and Bliss performs ceremonies at homes, backyards, beaches, churches and parks within the listed service area.

A wedding doesn't have to happen at a traditional wedding venue to be meaningful.

What do we need before the ceremony?

You'll need a valid Florida marriage license.

Because marriage-license requirements are handled by the appropriate Clerk of Court, couples should check directly with the issuing Clerk regarding current requirements and the effective and expiration dates of their license.

Bring your valid marriage license to the ceremony.

Afterward, I complete the appropriate officiant portion and return the completed marriage license to the Clerk of Court for recording, usually within two business days.

Can we have a simple ceremony?

Absolutely.

“Personalized” doesn't have to mean long or complicated.

We'll talk about the ceremony you're envisioning and what you'd like included.

What if we're planning at the last minute?

Contact me.

I can accommodate same-day ceremonies when availability allows.

If you need an officiant quickly, calling or texting is the easiest way to check my availability.

How do we get started?

Submit an inquiry or call/text me.

After an online inquiry, I'll reach out to schedule a brief 5–10 minute phone call to learn about your wedding and make sure we're a good fit.

Your date is secured once your signed contract and full payment have been received.
