FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR WEDDINGS & VOW RENEWALS
What is the best way to get in touch with you?
Email! No email goes unanswered. If you don't hear back from us (usually within a few hours or less!), send out the search team. Or check your junk/spam folder :). Fill in our contact form, or email Heidi directly at: Heidi@CentralFloridaWeddingGroup.com
How easy is it to get a Florida marriage license?
Very easy! We will give you all the info you need, or you can skip the Courthouse and add our marriage license service. The only legal documents you will need are your passports (for international couples) or driver's licenses (for US couples). You will NOT need to bring your birth certificates in order to get a Florida marriage license.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards. Additionally for US residents we accept personal checks, Venmo, & Zelle, and for UK residents we accept bank transfers (NOTE: If you are a UK resident, paying by bank transfer will save you money vs. using your credit card in most cases!)
I’m planning a vow renewal rather than a wedding. Can I still book a one of your packages?
You sure can! You would follow the same procedures as booking a wedding, except that you won’t need a marriage license or legal paperwork of any kind.
What days/times do you perform ceremonies?
PARADISE COVE: Monday through Friday, from morning until early afternoon. Weekend dates are available when booking the "Platinum" package, with weekend fee of $495.

PADDLEFISH: Monday through Thursday, in the mornings. (Afternoons can be booked during the months of November, December, January, and February...otherwise you will melt in the afternoon heat as the sun directly hits the deck!). Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are available when also booking your reception with Paddlefish. A weekend fee of $200 applies for Saturday/Sunday ceremonies.
CHAPEL: Monday through Friday, or on Saturdays with an additional $200 fee (when available), between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm.
