Babette did an excellent job with planning and executing the layout for the proposal. She provided quick, responsive communication. We could not be happier with the pictures.
Andrew Romeo from Tampa
Thank you for all of you help with my engagement. Babette was very nice and extremely accommodating being that my original proposal date was pushed out due to the most recent hurricanes that came through Florida. We did the package that included the boat proposal and she was great at making the whole process seamless. Would recommend anyone to work with her for a proposal. We also love our photos and are so thankful to have our special moment captured so beautifully.
Gaby P from St Pete
We wanted a stress-free simple getaway wedding, just the two of us on a sailboat. It was very last minute (15 days) and Babette made it happen. With a few emails and call exchanges it was all taken care of. Also flexible to accommodate last minute requests and very understanding of what we wanted. Thank you so much Babette!
Jade and Scott Brindle from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Ceremony; February 26th, 2024. Kelly Springs Park, Apopka, Florida.Babette was a dream to communicate and work with. From her flexibility and openness to keep our wording short & sweet, due to my husband’s ADHD, to keeping us company during our photoshoot so that she could get to know our personalities before the ceremony, to the artistic and spiritual connection that the three of us shared throughout the process.She really touched our hearts and we will think of her, every time we celebrate our special day, forever.Thank you Babette, you a very special person.Jade & Scott
Rikki Wilkin from Salt Lake City
Babette is amazing! She was so professional, organized and kind! My husband and I chose Babette because we wanted to elope on the beach in Florida! We had the perfect intimate wedding! Babette handled all of our paperwork, provided the officiant, let us choose our ceremony wording, provided beautiful flowers and an arch of our choosing and so much more! Our favorite was her photography! We have the most gorgeous photos of our special day!! And we got them back so quickly!
Matthew & Erin Gionfriddo from Connecticut
We cannot say enough about the amazing experience we had for our wedding. Being from Connecticut, planning a wedding was a daunting task, until we discovered Babette and Mickey Hill at Lifestyle weddings. They took care of every detail and made our special day stress-free and perfect!! It was everything that we wanted. We are so blessed to have found them and our pictures and memories will be cherished for years to come!!
Darien Hernandez from Orlando
Babette is truly and amazing person, she doesn’t make you feel like just another client. She made the impossible possible for me starting with the call when I asked her to help me plan the perfect engagement for me and my fiancé. As busy as she was found an opening for me and the exact date I need and delivered a unimaginable personable service the set up was amazing the photos are incredible and she does everything to make you feel comfortable all while never rushing your special moment she stayed with us longer than she should have just to let us enjoy the special moment and capture and unforgettable sunset picture. Babette is truly amazing and i cant thank her enough for everything she did in such a short notice and time.
Jenny und Sascha from Koblenz (Germany)
Mein Mann und ich kommen aus Deutschland und wollten unbedingt dem typischen Planungsstress und all den Entscheidungsfindungen rund um die eigene Hochzeit entfliehen und eine ganz intime Hochzeit im Paradies erleben. Ich habe lange gebraucht, bis ich auf eine Internetseite gestoßen bin, die mich angesprochen hat. Als ich auf die Homepage von Lifestyle Wedding aufmerksam wurde, wusste ich sofort, dass ich meinen Traum von einer Boho-Hochzeit mit Babette und ihrem Team realisieren möchte. Generell war es für mich nicht einfach, all die Organisation aus der Hand zu geben, da ich ein perfektionistischer Mensch bin und genaue Vorstellungen von meiner Hochzeit hatte (mein Mann hatte es da schon einfacher 😉). Aber aus der Ferne war das einfach nicht möglich, sodass ich dem Team vertrauen musste. Ich war sehr glücklich, als Bettina uns signalisierte, dass der Termin noch frei wäre und sie gerne die Planung für uns übernehmen würde. Dass Bettina und auch Babette deutsch sprechen, hat so vieles einfacher gemacht. Nach regelmäßigem Kontakt und monatelanger Planung war es am 12.12.2022 so weit. Wir standen um 16 Uhr am Strand von Key Biscayne und wurden in der Abendsonne getraut. Es war genau die intime, perfekte, emotionale und atemberaubend schöne Zeremonie, die wir uns gewünscht haben. Lediglich ein befreundetes Pärchen aus Deutschland, Babette, Mickey und unser Fotografenpaar waren anwesend. Schöner hätte es nicht sein können. Das ganze Team ist unfassbar herzlich, zuverlässig und darauf bedacht alles so umzusetzen, wie man es sich vorstellt. Mickey ist mit so viel Herz bei der Sache und hat unsere Aufregung mit seinem Charm und seinem Humor einfach in pure Freude umgewandelt. Der Tag war unbeschreiblich und das haben wir vor allem dem Team von Lifestyle Weddings zu verdanken! In den nächsten Tagen müsste die Apostille bei uns ankommen. Dann können wir die Hochzeit auch hier in Deutschland anerkennen lassen. Wir sind Bettina, Babette und Mickey sehr dankbar und würden jederzeit wieder "mit ihnen" heiraten. Wer weiß, vielleicht erneuern wir in 10 Jahren unser Ehegelübde und sehen uns dann unter den außergewöhnlichen und wunderschönen Bäumen im Washington Oaks Garden wieder... Tausend Dank an das gesamte Team! Ihr macht einen ganz tollen Job.
Somer Witter from Vandalia, OH
Babbette made my dream wedding come true. My now husband and I decided an elopement on the beach was the best option for us. After reading reviews I reached out to Babette and she quickly answered all of my questions and we locked a plan in place. I was terrified booking my entire wedding over email and over the phone but Babette was very comforting and quick to respond to each and every email. When it came to the big day every single detail turned out exactly like the inspiration photos if not better. She exceeded my wildest dreams. Everything was perfect. Mickey had us smiling through the ceremony and I couldn't have asked for a better day. Weather was unpredictable that day but Babette was on it and kept in close contact all day incase things had to change. We greatly appreciate that she puts her entire self into the process and makes everything so special. Thank you Babette and Mickey!
Sarah & Jamal from Leipzig
Hi together, we had such an amazing wedding day with Babette and Mickey. It was simple but beautiful. Exactly as we wanted. The tiny historical church in Englewood (Florida) was gorgeous and Babette took way more time for photos as typically included in our package - and all of them are absolutely stunning. So thank you both once again for making our perfect day unforgettable. See you soon back there.

Wedding chapel packages Florida- Weddings in chapels and at historic sites

Chapel Wedding Packages

If you wish to plan your wedding in a wedding chapel or historic site in Florida we are here to assist you. We have put together a few beautiful locations but we can create a custom package at any of your preferred locations. Our wedding chapel packages are non-denominational and may be also used for civil ceremonies. They are not affiliated with any specific belief or religion and no religious restrictions will apply. If you are planning a wedding in a religious belief regulations of that specific church will apply. Catholic weddings are only possible in a Catholic church by a Catholic priest with all regulations that are set forth by the Vatican. Take a look at our featured chapel wedding packages and locations.

Historic Sites

Florida offers some beautiful historic sites for your wedding. St. Augustine is the oldest continuously-inhabited European-established settlement within the borders of the continental United States. From quaint bed and breakfasts to luxury hotels St. Augustine is welcoming you with Southern hospitality.  Other historic sites may include Mansions, Villas, and other places of significance, like the Edison Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers that are available for wedding ceremonies and receptions.

Some Guidelines

Depending on the wedding location-specific restrictions or regulations will apply.  In many cases, a damage deposit will be required to book those locations. The damage deposit has to be paid by our clients and usually will be returned to you after the wedding. At specific locations, rental fees are not included in the wedding package. We will be happy to do all the pre-contracting with the venue but actual rental payments have to be made by the couple to the venue.

If you have any specific location you like to celebrate your wedding we can customize a package.

Custom designed Weddings

To be able to give you an idea of pricing you have to narrow down a few things first.

The most important start is a wedding date with maybe 1 or 2 optional dates. We only book one event per day and have to check on our availability before starting to work with you. We will also need a date to check with any facility, garden, or wedding location.

Secondly, you want to narrow down the type of wedding you want. For example beach wedding, chapel, park, etc.

Thirdly you need to give us a maximum guest count and maximum budget so we can suggest a location that fits your guest count and your wallet.

And last not least some basic information on your wishes and services that you like to include.

The first consultation is always free and with some basic information, we can create an offer for a ceremony package at any location for you. For more in detail planning including receptions if desired,  you would have to commit to booking our services.

Other Wedding locations

Beautiful venues and locations for your wedding.

There are so many other beautiful locations in Florida to hold your wedding. It would be impossible to make packages for each location. We listed some other spots including resorts, gardens, wedding chapels, and churches, or other places where weddings are possible. Please feel free to browse through those locations.  We can offer custom-designed wedding packages at any location of your choice.

Florida Wedding on the water – Yacht and sailboat weddings

Florida wedding on the water on Sailboats and Yachts

If you wish for a private location for your ceremony a Florida wedding on the water might be just the right thing for you. We have created a few wedding packages on chartered boats for just the bride and groom and celebrations with guests. Florida is all about living the salt life, so why not embark on a sunset sail or cruise in style on one of the private motor yachts.

What to expect?

Sailboat weddings are great for small weddings with less than 10 guests. As with beach weddings, a wedding on a sailboat or yacht is somewhat weather dependant. There are some weather conditions that would make a wedding on the water not possible. However, a little rain with otherwise calmer sees is not an issue. All our chartered sailboats are equipped with indoor living quarters, a kitchen, and cabins. The same of course for our yacht charters.  So unless there are storms out, high seas, or otherwise coast guard warnings all weddings will take place.

Sailboats or smaller yachts may not be suitable for young children, handicapped, or people who have motion sickness. In those cases, larger motor yachts are usually the better choice.

Wedding on the water regulations.

Sailboat and yacht charters are available in all of Florida and plentiful. But not all charters are properly licensed and insured. We only work with charters that have coast guard clearance and captains with proper licensing. Charters with more than 4 guests require special licensing and insurance.

Charters are usually a minimum of 2 hours with some charters starting at 4 hours or half days. Depending on the size of the boat, capacity and other factors pricing can go over $2500 just for the charter of a motor yacht.

Florida wedding on the water ” embark on a new journey together”

Yacht weddings with 20 + guests

If you are looking for a luxury yacht charter for more than 20 people including full receptions and entertainment please contact companies directly. As they usually provide their own all-inclusive wedding packages.  We are happy to coordinate your event and assist you with paperwork and photography.

Looking for a different Florida wedding on the water?

No problem, there are so many other locations for a Florida wedding on the water. If you don’t have sea legs head over to our beautiful beach wedding packages.

Florida wedding officiant and minister service

Florida Wedding Officiant Service

(Rev.) Mickey Hill

Hello,

Hi, I am Mickey and will be your wedding officiant and Minister.  I have been officiating weddings, vow renewals, blessings, and symbolic weddings since 2002. I am thankful to have met so many beautiful couples over the years and to be part of their special day. Most of our wedding packages will already include my wedding officiant service. You may also just book me to officiate your wedding as an individual service. Please visit my personal website if you wish to only book my service.  FloridaWeddingMinister.com

Wedding Ceremonies

Because I only speak English, my ceremonies are held in the English language. I provide all couples with a large selection of ceremony examples and vows and I welcome couples to customize their ceremony wording to reflect their own personalities. You may write your own vows, readings, or text. I am very flexible and if you have anything special you like to include in your ceremony wording just ask me.

My Credentials

I am a Florida Notary Public and Nondenominational Florida wedding officiant. Therefore I can legally marry you civilly, nondenominational Christian, Interfaith, Buddhist, spiritual and you can add traditions from Jewish, African American, Native American, or other faiths and beliefs.

I have been marrying couples from all walks of life, and welcome couples from the  LGBT community that wishes to exchange their vows and marry in the State of Florida.

Celebration of Love

It is important to me that your wedding ceremony reflects your beliefs and wishes. Often we forget that the most important part of a wedding is the promise two people give to each other and the celebration of their love.

Florida Wedding Officiant and Minister
Limitations

How about denominational ceremonies?

There are some limitations when it comes to religious or denominational weddings. I will not be able to marry you in a specific denomination as only pastors or clergy of that denomination can do so.

A few examples are Catholic, Jewish, Lutheran, Baptist, and other denominations.  If you wish to marry in a specific belief or religion you will have to hire a pastor, rabbi, or clergy ordained by that church to do so.

Restrictions with denominational ceremonies

There are restrictions that apply to denominational wedding ceremonies and will depend on the church and its regulations. For example, if you are planning a Catholic wedding they may only be held in a Catholic church by a Catholic priest. Catholic priests are not allowed to marry couples outside of the church. Couples will have to get a permit from the Diocese and all other regulations set forth by the church will apply.

Language Barriers

Couples from other Countries

The English language is not your strength! No worries, I take my time when officiating a ceremony and speak slowly and clear. You actually don’t have to say anything but Yes,  I do, to make it official. I can rewrite ceremonies so couples don’t have to repeat or say anything else in English.  Because I will email you examples you may choose any wording to your liking. You can translate it in any translation tool into your language. This way you exactly know what I am going to say at your wedding.

Personal wedding vows

I also allow couples to write their own vows in their mother language. They just have to read them to each other or speak them freely. You may also have readings or speeches included by family members or friends in the language of your choice.

Why booking my service?

I Love what I Do

I truly love what I do and put my heart and soul into each wedding ceremony. I have a very open and warm personality and love to laugh. It contributes to making your ceremony a personal and happy occasion.  In my opinion, a meaningful ceremony includes emphasis and feelings. It is not just read from a piece of paper.  Even after years of officiating weddings, I still get from time to time frogs in my throat. After all, I am a human being and there are definitely moments like that when love is in the air.

Choosing your officiant

Other Officiants

I completely understand if you desire to book another wedding officiant for your ceremony. After all, this is one of the most important days of your life. In this case, usually, couples will find their own preferred providers for this service. For packages that already include my service, will deduct $100 from the package price.

Help in finding another officiant

If you need us to find another wedding officiant, we will be happy to do so. An extra research fee will apply.

Legal Marriages

Marriage License

To get legally married in Florida you will need a marriage license issued by any Clerk of Court in the State of Florida. If you applied for your license yourself, you will have to provide it to me on the day of the wedding.  You can also make use of our convenient marriage license by mail service.

"Love is the answer everyone seeks; Love is the language that every heart speaks."
