Snippet Answer

A Florida notary may solemnize marriages under §117.045, F.S. The notary performs the ceremony, takes the parties' declarations of intent, and executes the marriage license — making the marriage legally effective. The Florida statutory ceremony fee is $30. The marriage cannot be performed remotely under Florida law; both parties must physically appear before the officiant per §741.07, F.S.

What's Required for a Florida Wedding

  1. A Florida marriage license — issued by any Florida county clerk to either Florida residents (no waiting period after a state-mandated premarital course or 3-day wait) or non-residents (effective immediately). License is valid for 60 days.
  2. Both parties physically present — required by §741.07, F.S. RON cannot be used for marriage solemnization.
  3. An authorized officiant — Florida notaries, judges, and ordained clergy may solemnize marriages.
  4. Two witnesses (optional) — Florida does not require witnesses for the ceremony, but the marriage license has spaces for them and most couples choose to include witnesses.

Ceremony Options

  • Civil quick ceremony — 5–10 minutes, traditional declarations, signing, done. Ideal for elopements, courthouse-alternative ceremonies, and weddings of convenience.
  • Personalized ceremony — custom script with vows, readings, and the elements you want. Typically 15–25 minutes.
  • Vow renewal — non-legal ceremony for couples renewing existing vows; available without a marriage license.
