Where do Winter Park Elopements take place?

Winter Park Elopements take place in an outdoor setting in Winter Park, Florida. These ceremonies are intentionally designed for a simple, natural environment rather than a traditional wedding venue.

Why should we choose you to officiate our wedding?

I focus on creating ceremonies that feel intentional, personal, and engaging rather than generic or scripted. My goal is to help tell your story in a way that feels authentic and memorable for both you and your guests.

What about the marriage license?

To get married in Florida, you will need to obtain a marriage license from any county clerk’s office. Florida residents have a three-day waiting period unless they complete a premarital course, while out-of-state couples can use it immediately. After your ceremony, I handle signing and filing the license so everything is completed properly.

Yes, I carry both Notary Public insurance and professional wedding vendor liability insurance. Many premier wedding venues in Orlando and across Central Florida require vendors to be fully insured, and I am happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance upon request.

How do we book you and what are the payment details?

Booking begins with a consultation to confirm the best fit for your ceremony. A signed agreement and a 50 percent retainer secure your date, with the remaining balance due two weeks before the wedding.

Can you incorporate religious elements into the ceremony?

Yes, I can include prayers, readings, or spiritual elements that are meaningful to you. While I am a non-religious officiant, I design ceremonies that reflect your preferences. For ceremonies deeply rooted in a specific faith tradition, a member of the clergy may be a better fit.

What do you wear when officiating a wedding?

I wear professional, formal attire that aligns with the tone and style of your ceremony. For Signature Experience weddings, my presentation matches the formality of your event.

Do you attend the rehearsal?

Rehearsal attendance is available as an add-on for couples who want additional coordination and peace of mind.

How far in advance should we book a wedding officiant?

Most couples book their wedding officiant six to twelve months in advance, especially for popular wedding dates. Booking early ensures availability and allows time for a fully customized ceremony.

Can a friend or family member officiate our wedding?

Yes, a friend or family member can officiate your wedding if they are legally authorized. Many couples choose a professional officiant to ensure the ceremony flows smoothly, stays engaging, and meets all legal requirements.

Why Your Ceremony Choice Matters

Orlando Wedding Officiant
Guy Thee Wed

Your wedding ceremony is the moment your marriage begins, not just the part before the celebration. It sets the tone for everything that follows, which is why it deserves more than a template or a rushed delivery.

I create ceremonies that are personal, intentional, and handled with calm professionalism from start to finish. From managing the Florida marriage license details to crafting a narrative that reflects your story, every part of the process is designed to feel effortless for you and meaningful for your guests.

This isn’t just about signing paperwork. It’s about having a seasoned officiant guide one of the most important moments of your life with humor, heart, and confidence, so you can actually be present for it.
