    Avis was amazing in every category with our wedding❤️

    Avis got back with us quickly every time we had a question. She helped make our wedding on the beach perfect! Everything went very smoothly! She brought me a beautiful bouquet and both of us a flower to wear that matched along with a just married sign and other items to make our day perfect. Our pictures turned out great with the sunset and it was a wonderful experience! She takes care of so much we didn’t have to worry about anything! Thank you so much Avis with Simple Seaside Ceremonies❤️🤗🏝️
    Love,
    Tanya and Kary Peterson

    Excellent service, prompt response and full details explained

    I wanted something simple and stress free with only one week to plan and I came across Avis. She was absolutely the best and gave me more than I could imagine. She had everything planned out in full detail even including my little boys, all we had to do was show up. The ceremony, the words, the vows exactly what I wanted. I am forever thankful and my wedding fell on a beautiful sunset evening on the beach.

    Worry free special day

    Avis is very organized, personable, and flexible. She is knowledgeable about the marriage laws and businesses that operate for weddings in the community. She works well with today's technology allowing you to book her from anywhere. We were pleased by the couple of day of surprises she had to make our day special.

    Avis is Amazing!

    Avis was really wonderful! She was very sweet and provided a verbal and written transcript for us. My husband and I do not practice religion and she had a very beautiful ceremony based on friendship and love that made us so happy.

    Avis was Amazing!

    I would highly recommend Avis! She was absolutely amazing. Very helpful throughout the entire process and had everything organized and ready to go that morning. Also very flexible and gave us a lot of info regarding the different beach locations that we could have the ceremony and how/where to process all of the paperwork.

    International Wedding

    Since we are an international couple living in Germany, we had very many questions and needed more help to organize our wedding as you can imagine. Avis was extremely helpful and very professional. She provided many little details that we didn't expect which made our wedding a very special and unforgetable experience. We would highly recommend Avis to any couple who wants to get marry. Thank very much Avis.

    From out of state but in good hands!

    We had the pleasure of working with Avis for our January 1st ceremony and I can't say enough about how wonderful she was! She smoothed last-minute issues and was so accommodating to our needs! Searching for someone out of state to marry us was nerve-racking, but from my first conversation with her I felt totally at ease and knew that we would be in good hands. The day of the ceremony she was so kind and patient with us, and we enjoyed her readings so much. I can't recommend her enough to do justice to the awesome service that she provides. We will forever be grateful to her and her sweet husband who accompanies her to her ceremonies. Thank you, Avis!

    A Wonderful Simple Beach Wedding

    Simple Seaside Weddings created a relaxed yet professional atmosphere for our "simple" beach wedding. We were more casually dressed, and it was my husband, our 4 adult children, and I, which is why we called it simple. Avis, our wedding officiant, was a pleasant, genuine, and kind lady who made our special day absolutely perfect. We highly recommend her services to anyone wishing to marry in or near Venice, Florida!

    Incredible!

    I called Rev. Avis Brangan 5 days before our wedding due to our officiat cancelling last minute. We were worried that everyone would be booked and that there would be a huge fee for booking last minute. That was not the case. Rev. Avis Brangan was there to help us through the entire process and was true to her word from the very start. She was professional, courteous, and very experienced. We couldn't have made a better choice when we called her. She stated in touch with us for the following 5 days and was willing to do whatever we needed to make sure our day was more than special.

    GREAT service, great officiant

    Avis was great! She was flexible being that the groom and his family was a little bit late. I was really worried about that, but she was kind and put me at ease. You can tell she really enjoys doing this.

    Avis came through for us and made it such an easy experience

    We contacted her just a couple of weeks before our wedding because we couldn’t decide who we wanted to do our ceremony. We thought we wanted a friend or someone close to us. As it got closer I became apprehensive about that so we checked around and Avis was local and surprisingly available on our day. She was really responsive to our requests and has sooo many ceremonies to choose from. We found the right one for us and even added on a couple of others too. We were able to integrate our children from our previous marriages and it was great. I would highly recommend Avis for your wedding!

    Simple beach wedding

    Avis was absolutely wonderful. From the first time I contacted her she kept me up to date every single step of the way. I am from Indiana and got married in Florida and she took care of everything. I would recommend her to everyone looking to get married in Florida:)

    The perfect choice!

    Avis was incredibly professional and timely in her responses. She came to the small ceremony at our home for my mother prepared with beautiful words and vows for the bride and groom to share. The value of her services is incomparable --- Avis is a gem and a true blessing to have in this process!

    Avis was wonderful! She was very professional and everyone thought the ceremony was beautiful. She was very patient with us as we had to delay the ceremony due to rain. I am so glad she was recommended to us! She made our special day a little extra special!
