Beach Weddings of Fort Lauderdale has been coordinating beach weddings along the Fort Lauderdale shoreline since 2010. Every ceremony is personally handled by a Florida-licensed wedding officiant from first call through marriage certificate filing.

Meet Michelle

Michelle is Beach Weddings of Fort Lauderdale’s Lead Wedding Coordinator and the officiant who performs the majority of our ceremonies. She has been marrying couples on South Florida beaches since 2010 and holds a Florida state license as a Licensed Wedding Officiant.

When you call 954-361-2053, you’re likely speaking with Michelle directly. She coordinates every detail herself — from your permit application to the ceremony timeline to filing your marriage certificate — so there is no hand-off to a stranger on your wedding day.

Michelle’s preferred ceremony spot is Hollywood Beach, just south of the Broadwalk’s busiest section, where she’s officiated hundreds of ceremonies over the years. She works all of Broward’s permit-accessible beaches and knows the quirks of each one.

Why Couples Choose Beach Weddings of Fort Lauderdale

Most couples planning a Fort Lauderdale beach wedding quickly discover that the logistics are harder than they expected: each municipality has its own permit process, ideal tide and light windows change by season, and the Florida marriage license process has its own courthouse requirements. We handle all of it.

The officiant who performs your ceremony is the same person who pulled your permit, coordinated your timeline, and will file your marriage certificate within 10 days of the ceremony. One point of contact, start to finish.

Our Credential

Every officiant performing ceremonies through Beach Weddings of Fort Lauderdale holds a Florida state license as a Licensed Wedding Officiant. Your marriage certificate is legally valid in all 50 states and can be used for name-change applications immediately.
