    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!!

    I honestly don’t even know where to begin to express how grateful I am to Lindsey and her amazing team at Emerald Coast Marriages. Our wedding day was everything I dreamed it would be and more. Being able to stand beside the ocean, surrounded by the people we love, and begin this new chapter of our lives was incredibly special—and Lindsey and her team helped make every moment feel absolutely perfect. From the very beginning, Lindsey was there for us every step of the way. She helped us with ideas for our reception, listened to what was important to us, added beautiful personal touches to my bouquet, and captured the most beautiful photographs that will allow us to relive this day for years to come. What meant the most to me was how genuinely cared for we felt. Lindsey didn’t just help us plan a wedding—she helped create memories that our family will treasure forever. She took so much of the stress and worry away, allowing us to simply relax, be present, enjoy our family and friends, and soak in every precious moment of the day. Emerald Coast Marriages truly makes getting married easy. You can put your trust in them, take a deep breath, and just enjoy the moment—because they take care of the rest. Lindsey, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our wedding day more beautiful and meaningful than I ever could have imagined. We will always look back on that day with so much love and gratitude, and you will always be a special part of our story. The Avilas

    It's been a little over a year since our wedding, and it’s still hard to put into words just how amazing everything was!! I truly couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful wedding. The whole day felt like a dream, and they made everything so effortless from start to finish! My husband and I are both pretty awkward when it comes to taking pictures 😂, but she was so easygoing and made us feel completely comfortable just being ourselves. I added just a few, but she took so many pictures that I absolutely love! I also love that we were able to have our kids be such a big part our wedding, my daughter even got to be our seashell girl! 🥹 I’m so thankful for how special and personal they made our day. It’s something we’ll always look back on and be so grateful for! ❤️

    This brought happy tears to our eyes! Thank you for coming back a year later to share this. We're so glad you felt comfortable in front of the camera and that you love your photos. And your daughter as the seashell girl was just the sweetest! Happy (belated) anniversary to you and your family! ❤️

    Lindsay was absolutely amazing. She helped coordinate our beach ceremony on a very busy Saturday. She was prompt, professional, and the set up was gorgeous. The best part was the florals. The bouquets were absolutely stunning and better than I could have imagined. Would highly recommend!!

    Natalie, thank you so much for these kind words! We're thrilled to have taken care of you on your big day. Your florals turned out fantastic! Congratulations again to you both, and thank you for trusting us with your beach ceremony!


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!
