To get a marriage license in Florida, both parties must:

• Be present to apply and sign the form
   
• Provide a valid photo ID and proof of age
   
• Provide Social Security or alien registration number
   
• Submit a premarital counseling certificate (if applicable)
   
• Disclose details of any prior marriages
   
• Pay a $86 fee ($61 with counseling certificate)
   
• Confirm they’ve read Florida’s Family Law Handbook
   
• Be at least 18 (or have parental consent if under)
   
• Wait three days (waived with counseling or for non-residents)
   
• Hold the ceremony within 60 days of license issuance
   

It is not a requirement. The benefits of premarital counseling include a waiver of the three-day waiting period for the license to become effective, and also lowers the license application fee. The course must be completed within the last year and include a certificate of completion to qualify.

Refund & Cancellation Policy

At Sunshine Signature Events, we are honored to reserve your wedding date and commit that time exclusively to you. Because wedding dates are limited and once reserved cannot be offered to other couples, the following refund policy applies.

Booking & Deposits

• A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of online booking in order to secure your wedding date.
• Your date is not considered reserved until the deposit has been received.
• Once your date is secured, that time is held exclusively for you and removed from availability for other clients.

Why Deposits Are Non-Refundable

When you book with us, we immediately reserve your specific date and time. This means we decline other inquiries for that same time slot. Due to the limited nature of wedding dates and the advance scheduling required, deposits compensate for the lost opportunity to book another event.

Cancellation Policy

• No refunds will be issued within 90 days of the scheduled event date.
• Cancellations made more than 90 days before the event may be eligible for a partial refund at our discretion.
• All approved refunds will have a 10% processing and administrative fee deducted, unless otherwise stated in writing.

Processing Fees

All refunds, when applicable, are subject to a 10% deduction to cover payment processing fees and administrative costs.

Rescheduling

If you need to reschedule your ceremony, we will make every effort to accommodate your new date, subject to availability. Rescheduling requests within 90 days of the event date may be treated as a cancellation if we are unavailable for the new date.
