Sarasota Elopements
A Wedding Officiant Service
Congratulations on your engagement!
Celebrate your love with an intimate wedding ceremony
in beautiful Sarasota, Florida.
We officiate Christian faith-based elopements, intimate weddings
(of 25 guests or less), commitment ceremonies, and vow renewals.
Popular locations include: Siesta Key Beach, Lido Key Beach,
Longboat Key Beach, and Bay Preserve at Osprey.
How it works
The First Step
Writing a ceremony according to the couple's preferences. We believe in creating unforgettable experiences for couples - so to ensure everything is perfect, we will email you a questionnaire to fill out, helping us tailor the ceremony to your unique love story. After finalizing the details, a copy of the ceremony will be sent to you for your review, ensuring everything is just as you envision. After all, this day is all about the bride and groom!
The Next Step: The Big Day!
Our officiant will meet the couple at their chosen location (such as a serene beach, a picturesque park, or in their very own backyard) on their preferred date and time to perform the ceremony. Our ceremonies are perfectly paced, allowing you to exchange vows during the beautiful moments of a sunrise or sunset. Be sure to bring your valid marriage license and your wedding rings with you to the ceremony.
The Final Step
After the ceremony is performed, our officiant will sign and file the marriage license with the county. This will be done on the same day of the ceremony or the next business day if the ceremony takes place after hours. Rest assured, your marriage license will be handled promptly and efficiently.

Optional Service
Standalone Ceremony Script Writing — $100
A fully personalized wedding ceremony script, delivered to you within 48 hours.
Many couples already have an officiant — often a friend or family member who is ordained or a notary — but need help crafting the ceremony itself. If your officiant isn’t sure where to begin, that’s where we come in.
We create custom, meaningful ceremony scripts tailored to the couple's love story, values, and vision. This service is perfect for couples who want a professional, heartfelt ceremony without changing their chosen officiant.
To request this service, please inquire within.
