    Perfection!

    Emerald Coast Marriage was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was quick and efficient. The quality of their work was simply stunning - the photos captured all the special moments and emotions of our big day. The Emerald Coast team was professional, friendly, and so helpful throughout the entire process, going above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories they helped create for us to cherish forever!!

    Lindsey at Emerald Coast Marriage was amazing for our 25th anniversary vow renewal! Tropical Storm Bertha threw several wrenches in our well laid plans, but Lindsey was able to pull it all together for a beautiful ceremony on the balcony of our rental with ease & grace. While the day didn’t cooperate for family photos on the beach, she was kind enough to come back the next day to capture so many special moments. Rest assured, you’re in great hands with Emerald Coast Marriage! Thanks Lindsey!

    Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so happy we were able to help make your 25th anniversary vow renewal so special, even with Tropical Storm Bertha trying to change the plans! Congratulations on 25 years, and thank you for trusting Emerald Coast Marriage to be part of such a meaningful celebration! ❤️

    We had the most incredible experience with Lindsey. From start to finish, it was stress free and exactly what we wanted. She was so helpful with the entire process. Lindsey and Regan (and his aunt) put together the perfect ceremony for us and we had so much fun with them. We wouldn’t change a thing, it was a dream come true. We’re so grateful we found Emerald Coast Marriage and we would absolutely recommend working with them.

    This message made us smile so much! We loved every second of working with you both, and it was such a joy having Regan (and his aunt!) along for the celebration too. Congratulations again to you two, and thank you for trusting us with your dream day!

    Thank you so much for these sweet words! We loved being part of your ceremony and getting to celebrate with you both. Hearing that your guests were still talking about it afterward truly made our day. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness together!


Yes - each county has requirements for obtaining a marriage license. We typically perform ceremonies in the following FL counties: Bay County, Walton County & Okaloosa County. We have linked the marriage license requirements for each county. Some counties offer the option to start the application online, others require couples to appear in person. We can work through all logistical details with you as needed.
Possibly - Bay, Walton and Okaloosa counties do require a permit for certain events or decor. Permit prices fluctuate by county. Permit location fees are not included in the ceremony packages and are the responsibility of the customer. We can work with you to determine if additional fee's will be required. Permit fees are nonrefundable and non-transferable.
The Emerald Coast has lots of beach and just off the coast location options. There are also several state parks that provide ideal locations. We will work with you to review all the options and determine which is best for you.
The good and bad news about coastal weather is it changes hourly! If the weather prevents the event from occurring, we will work with you to reschedule at no additional cost. For those coming from out of town, we understand the costs incurred during travel and will do our best to attempt a quick reschedule during the days you are in town.
If you cancel your event 21 or more days before your scheduled event date, you will receive a $200 refund for the Intimate elopement package or a $400 refund for the other ceremony packages. If you cancel less than 21 days before the original scheduled date, there will be no refund applied. Deposits to hold your event date are non-refundable.
We understand that life happens. Our simple Peace of Mind policy allows for your existing payment to transfer to another available date/time. This applies to a one-time date reschedule request.
We take really good pictures but are not licensed professional photographers. Our edited pictures will be available to you electronically. At minimum - 25 edited pictures will be provided for the Intimate elopement package and 50 for other packages. We almost always provide more than the minimum. Check out social media for examples of our photography.
Yes! We have a list of local vendors on our Vendor page. If you do not see what you are looking for, we are happy to provide additional recommendations!
