The Setting: An Intimate Beachfront Ceremony
When we think about a Miami beach wedding, it’s all about stunning scenery and a relaxed atmosphere. You’ll meet your officiant, who will be waiting on a very quiet stretch of white sandy beach—a small slice of paradise away from the tourist buzz. This quieter spot ensures your vows are private, and the setting’s natural beauty makes for an unforgettable backdrop.
The beaches used for the ceremony are described as white, soft sands with turquoise waters lapping against the shore. Plenty of past reviews emphasize how the setting itself is part of the appeal—imagine exchanging vows with the sound of gentle waves behind you, the sun warming your skin, and a picturesque ocean view.
The Ceremony: Personal, Simple, and Legally Recognized
You have two options: a legal, civil wedding (which requires an additional $100 fee for the marriage license) or a renewal of vows that’s symbolic but equally heartfelt. The ceremony itself is described as casual yet meaningful, with an officiant who personalizes the experience and speaks both English and German—a real boon for international couples or those more comfortable in German.
What makes this stand out? The officiants are praised for their professionalism and warmth. As one reviewer noted, Bettina, the officiant, delivered a “beautiful, personal ceremony” that included heartfelt words and a warm, welcoming tone. It’s clear she doesn’t just perform a script—she makes it a genuine moment.
The Little Extras: Flowers, Champagne, and Photos
After vows are exchanged, you receive a bouquet of roses—a lovely, fragrant keepsake—and a champagne toast to celebrate your union or special day. The champagne is a simple but elegant addition that turns a beach ceremony into a celebration.
Plus, you’ll get a professional photoshoot with about 50 photos included in the package. During reviews, couples lauded the quality of the photos despite challenging conditions like sun and heat. One couple from Germany said, “the photos are first-class,” which is reassuring if you want beautiful memories to take home.
