Step 1: Marriage License

Let’s make it official, lovebirds! Your first stop is any courthouse in the state of Florida. If you’re local, the Orange County Courthouse is conveniently located at 425 N. Orange Avenue, Orlando, FL 32801 on the 3rd floor, Room 350.

 

Once you arrive, check in at the kiosk and select “Marriage License.” You’ll complete a short application (usually under 10 minutes). When your number is called, simply hand the form to the clerk, and they’ll prepare your marriage license on the spot.  The total cost is $86.  The license becomes valid on the third day after it’s issued (Florida’s waiting period for residents). It expires in 60 days, so plan your ceremony within that time frame.

​

Step 2: Marriage Ceremony

After securing your marriage license, it’s time to schedule your ceremony with your Wedding Officiant. Visit the Packages page to explore pricing and options that best fit your vision.

Choose a date, choose a time, and your special moment is officially on the calendar!

​

Step 3: Certified Copy of Your Marriage License

Once your ceremony is complete, your officiant will sign and date the marriage license and you will need to return it to the courthouse for filing.

 

You have two options:

• Return it in person: You’ll receive your certified copy immediately.

• Mail it in: Expect your certified copy in approximately 10 days.

 

This certified copy is essential for name changes, insurance, benefits, and other important updates—so keep it somewhere safe and accessible.
