Essential Legal Requirements for Getting Married in Miami

If you are planning a destination wedding in Miami. needs some papers and rules first. It is not hard, but you gotta do it right or no wedding will happen!

First, you need to get a marriage license from the courthouse. Bring your ID and $100. If you have been married before, you need to show papers that say you are not married anymore.

Then you gotta wait 3 whole days after getting a license before you can do the wedding. Unless you pay extra for no wait! The license is only good for 60 days, so don’t get it too early.

Need two people to see you get married and sign papers after. They called witnesses. And the person who marries you gotta be allowed by Florida to do it – check they have papers that say okay!

Don’t forget this boring stuff because without it, you are not married, even if you have a pretty dress and cake!

How to Create the Perfect Miami Wedding Budget

Making a wedding budget in Miami needs smart thinking! First, you write down all things that cost money, like a pretty place to marry, yummy foods, and a nice dress.

Some stuff costs lots of money, like a beach hotel or fancy flowers. Other things not so much – maybe a simple cake or homemade decorations save you money. Golden hour photos are pretty, but photographers cost more at sunset!  A good idea is to pick the 3 most important things to spend on. Maybe you want the best food and music, but are you okay with simple chairs? This way, you don’t run out of money too fast.

Don’t forget hidden costs like a taxi for guests or extra fees at venues! Always ask “what else do I need to pay?” so no bad surprises later.

Remember – a perfect destination wedding in Miami is not about spending all the dollars, but about happy hearts and sunny smiles in photos!”

Finding the Right Wedding Planner in Miami

A good wedding planner in Miami makes everything easy, like a beach breeze! But not all planners are the same – some are better with big fancy weddings, some are good at small cozy ones.

First thing is to ask what they did before. You want to see pictures of other destination wedding in Miami they planned. Make sure they know the best places for photos when the sun goes down – golden hour makes everything look magic!

Some planners cost lots of money, but they do everything for you. Others are cheaper, but you gotta help more. Pick what feels right for your budget and how much work you wanna do.

Big tip – meet the planner face to face before choosing! If they do not listen well to your ideas, maybe they are not the right person. A good planner makes you feel calm.

Remember – the best wedding planner not just books things, but makes your day special like a dream!

Why Prestige Estate is the Perfect Destination Wedding Planner in Miami

A destination wedding is the dreamy start of every couple’s life together. This marks a big day you have waited for to celebrate love in a special place. The moments of this once-in-a-lifetime event are worth capturing through professional photos. Although couples these days are good at taking phone pictures for Instagram or social media, a real wedding photographer is the best, whether you use them for albums or family memories.

Moreover, the wedding pictures show the hard work, the love story, and the unique style that comes after planning the big day. Families love to share these photos with friends and relatives, hang them in homes, and keep them forever. Phone pics or blurry, bad-quality photos don’t show the magic of these moments or save them the right way.

I got married last week. And I have spent every day wishing I could relive this entire weekend. And a huge part of that was because of this place. The stay the night before at the mansion and the day of the wedding was everything I could have dreamed of and more. The venue, their vendors (flowers, decor, the dj, the mc, the food, bartenders, cake, photo booth, cafe cart, la hora loca, etc.), Sam (my wedding coordinator) …. they went ABOVE AND BEYOND every expectation. Every detail, from the ceremony, the timing, to the music, the entertainment…. it was all perfect. The dance floor was never empty. The dj was AMAZING. The food was delicious. The cake was beautiful. I got to enjoy the piece we took home (still am). The ceremony was straight out of a movie. Everyone enjoyed the photo booth. La hora loca was the most fun time we could’ve imagined (everyone raved about this after). And the guests loved the late night coffee. Sam was a dream come true. She was kind, sincere, generous, on top of everything. And just so beautiful to be around with. She took care of everything. They all made sure we were fed and drinking. And we got to enjoy the cocktail appetizers. My guests left there feeling happy and wanting more. My heart was full. Rene and I were just so present and happy the entire time. We are still talking about this night. I’m so grateful and blessed for all they did. Thank you. xoxo Jackie & Rene 2.24.24

This is the place you’ve been looking for! Samantha and the team were so helpful throughout our planning process and our wedding. From the stunning decor to the service, our wedding at Prestige Estate was a dream come true. Samantha went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Her professionalism and attention to detail truly made our special day unforgettable. Shout out to the fireworks vendor also because they put on a beautiful show that we’ll never forget! Even during the wedding when we started running behind on time, Samantha was always ready! We can't thank her and the entire team at Prestige Estate enough for making our wedding day absolutely magical! #TheBasants #04/04/2024

I recently went to a friend’s wedding at Prestige Estate on February 4,2022. I was completely blown away by the venue and it’s service. When I went inside the venue I was amazed by the beautiful chandeliers, floor and overall look. The outside area where the ceremony took place was breathtaking. It had beautiful flowers and decoration. The servers and staff were very attentive and provided great service throughout the night. My dinner included chicken and vegetables which was all very delicious. We had a great time, with great music and ambiance perfect for the occasion. I am thankful to Prestige Estate for truly making my friend’s wedding day special and memorable.

Prestige Estate is one of the best venues you could ever book! Each and every single staff care about your vision and the outcome of your wedding. My coordinator was Samantha and she worked extremely hard to make our dreams come true. It rained all day on our wedding day! That was my worst fear since having an outdoor ceremony. Somehow Samantha came and gave us options a day before, she looked at the weather started planning ahead and to the last few hours she had a plan and i trusted that. My wedding was truly beautiful. Despite having an indoor ceremony the prestige estate staff worked very hard at making it smooth and comfortable. The DJ Orlando was great, the food was amazing! My family are still talking about about how much fun they had so many days later. Honestly 5 star venue from the mansion to the garden and reception area! We laughed, we cried and we danced! Such a great time. Thank you Samantha ! And prestige estate ❤️

Our wedding experience was nothing short of amazing. The entire team was exceptional from the planning to the actual event day. The food, the cake and the service staf were great. The decoration and flower ladies made sure everything looked exactly as I was expecting. The music was great (thank you DJ Legendz). The venue itself is really pretty. Will definitelly recommend renting the mansion as well as you will get very beautiful pictures there. A very special thanks to Samantha and Elizabeth (Liz) for making this day a really remarkable one.
