| A wedding ceremony held in a Florida Wedding Chapel offers simplicity and romance. Most smaller weddings held in a Chapel offer a candlelight setting at any hour of the day. Often the Florida Wedding Chapel can also provide the marriage license saving you the hassle of visiting the court clerk. In the state of Florida, you will not be allowed to get married if your marriage license is from another state.
To obtain a marriage license it will be required that both parties are present when filing. Each party must have a driver's license or a birth certificate. Military identification or a passport will be accepted in place of a driver's license or birth certificate. Each party must also have their social security cards and if one or both parties have been divorced, they must show proof of divorce. In the state of Florida, it is required by law that both parties read a handbook provided by the court clerk.
The Florida Wedding Chapel that you select will provide you with all necessary paperwork and instructions. All Florida state residents must provide proof of completing a premarital preparation course. Once completing this course, you can arrange for your marriage and marriage license. Often this can all take place in one day since there is no waiting period to receive your marriage license. Physical exams and blood tests are not required to receive a marriage license in Florida.
Wedding packages offered by your chosen Florida Wedding Chapel may include limousine service, photography, video, flowers, music, and for an additional cost, a reception area. Many packages include a wedding consultant to help make your wedding the ideal wedding for you. Though most wedding packages offered by your Florida Wedding Chapel are less expensive, there are larger packages available for the couple with a larger budget. Elegant tables for your reception and select locations are just two of the items offered in the higher priced packages.
In Florida a marriage is not officially recorded until the marriage license is returned to the court clerk. This will be done by the officiating party within 10 days of the wedding.
