Florida wedding under 500$

Michaela, on October 25, 2022 at 1:41 PM Posted in Florida Planning 0 3

Hi!


I would love to get some advice. In January we are planning a wedding during our vacation in USA. We come from Czech Republic, and our idea is to run away from big ceremony in Czech Republic. One thing is that we are not willing to have a big and expensive wedding. And on second side, there are some problems from my family side and it's not possible to have my whole family at one place. So we decided, that having a wedding on "other side of the world" will be the best option. BUT now I'm looking for some packages at Florida, honestly I would prefer a beach wedding, but its not a necessary. And we are having a little bit short budget. To what I have seen there are some possibilities to get under 400$, but there are really limited. So thinking about moving the budget to somewhere around 500$. We will have only two guests who will be our witnesses. Everything else I already have (dress, boots, accessories act.) Marriage licence fees are not counted into the budget.


So my questions are:


1) Is it even possible to find something under 500$ (+100$ for marriage licence)?


2) Any advices for foreign couple? (I've read already that I need Marriage licence, and for Czech authorities I need to get a wedding certificate with apostille, I will arrange that from home with post)




Thank you very much!


Sorry about a long post.

    I'm not 100% sure, but it *looks* like you might be able to get married at a courthouse in Florida, then you could take your witnesses for a nice dinner, all of which should keep you under budget. Please double check that information about the courthouse though.

    Thank you for your reply. I have already found some wedding packages which fits in my budget. If we would like to have a courthouse wedding we can have it done here at Czech Republic. But we want something little bit different. But thank you for advice.
