About

CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement! Let the wedding planning begin.

My name is Caron Watkins and I have been providing civil, non-denominational, and religious ceremonies for over 30 years. I would love the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your special day. Together we can incorporate both of your personalities, style, and taste to create your memorable wedding ceremony.

I can perform your ceremony at the location of your choice. With 30+ years of experience, if needed, I can also assist you in finding the perfect location for your ceremony as well as DJ's, photographers, and wedding cake designers.

Marriage License:

Following is the link to the local Clerk of the Circuit Courts where you will need to obtain your marriage license up to 60 days before the ceremony and no later than three days before the ceremony. THERE IS A THREE-DAY WAITING PERIOD between the time the license is issued and the time the license is valid. The license becomes valid on the fourth day after issuance. Applicants who are BOTH out-of-state residents, and who BOTH have out-of-state identification, are exempt from the three-day waiting period.

**LICENSES ARE VALID FOR 60 DAYS AND ARE FOR USE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA ONLY.

My husband and I truly adore Caron! She is such a sweet, caring, kind-hearted woman that really goes above and beyond to make your wedding day special! She gets emotionally involved with each part of your wedding and she truly cares about the ceremony and what it means to become husband and wife. She is great! You will not be disappointed! :)

Caron did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant. She will quickly reply to emails and works with you to ensure that you have the ceremony you envisioned. I married a Hindu and although we did not include many Hindu rituals in our ceremony it was a bit different than normal. Caron did a fantastic job pulling it all together. You will not go wrong with her as your officiant.
