Clearwater Notary and Weddings also offers Flowers, Photography, Music and Wedding Planning!! Serving Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco and Manatee Counties

Thanks for considering Clearwater Notary and Weddings! We’re a small informal company and intimate beach weddings are our game! I am probably available for your date!!

Well let’s get to it! Here’s my fancy sales e-mail **smile**

Officiating:

If you are ONLY looking for an Officiant, We can come to your location , perform your ceremony and legalize your paperwork for as low as $150.00, depending on your officiate choice! We have men and women, young and old, spiritual and religious, Minister or just simple legal. Let me know what you’re looking for!

Let's choose a ceremony to read!! There are additional ceremonies on my web-site www.clearwaternotaryandweddings.com. The ceremonies are very fluid, if you like sections of several, and want to combine them, we can always personalize them in any way you like. If you have wording you'd like to insert into any ceremony, just ask! I'll perform any ceremony you choose.

Rehearsal:

Most couples want to have a rehearsal; A rehearsal prepares everyone for what they need to do and where they need to go. If you want a more "formal" ceremony with the bride walking down the aisle and the father giving her away etc., I would seriously consider a rehearsal. We could do it the same day, a few hours before the event for $25.00 or the evening before (or other time of your choice) for $50.

Locations:

I marry most of my couples on the beach. Clearwater is known for their beautiful beaches and stunning sunsets. The favorite spot by far is Sand Key Park http://www.pinellascounty.org/park/15_Sand_Key.htm They have the BEST views, it’s relatively private and free to get in!

If you're wanting pristine beach views, without all the tourists and sand, try War Veterans Memorial Park http://www.pinellascounty.org/park/23_War_Vets.htm . Check out Shelter #5. Every time I'm out on a boat in the Gulf, I look at this GORGEOUS point and remember the ceremonies I've performed there. It's very private, has stunning views, plenty of room, and a small beach if you want sand afterall =).

Some people really love the Botanical Gardens! http://www.flbg.org There is a cost to use the gardens for your wedding if you’re going to have a large party. Altho I love the gardens, they’re a little pricey. I suggest Heritage Village in the same complex. They have a great gazebo for outdoor weddings, a cute church for small to medium indoor affairs, and they’re ¼ of the price that the Garden’s asks. http://www.pinellascounty.org/Heritage/facility_rentals.htm The BIG bonus is, your guests have access to the gardens with just a short walk over a bridge!!!

If you'd like more location suggestions, let me know. I know some great restaurants on the beach where we could do it and there's be a place for the reception right there, or there's the Zoo or Bush Gardens...so many choices! Let me know what you're looking for.

Music & Sound:

If you would like me to bring my mini-PA System for music or amplification (microphones for you and the bride) of your ceremony, My equipment doesn't require electricity, so I can bring music to the beach or other outdoor events. I have a small collection of wedding music if you'd like, or you can bring your own music and I'll play it on my system. I can use cassettes, cd's and mp3's.

I charge between $35 and $75 dollars depending on what portion(s) of the system you'd require.

I also know some very good musicians and DJ’s if you'd like live music. Let me know if you're interested and I'll introduce you.

Pictures:

Most folks doing beach weddings like to keep it casual, so I created a wonderful program called Photo Buddy! I ask local Photography students to come and work for me as Interns, and they get real world experience for their studies. I preview each Photo Buddy’s work before they start with me, and I personally direct photo shoots that I officiate so you know you’re getting quality pictures!

Photo Buddy’s can be available to take photos of your entire ceremony for just $100.00!! This price includes a quality photo student to take casual shots during your ceremony and posed shots after. We generally take photos until we run out of light, batteries or you get bored with us!! Finally, we burn the pics to a CD RIGHT THERE and the photos are yours to keep! No proofs or prints to buy! It’s a very nice deal.

We also have Video Buddy for just $100.00! Call us to book you Photo/video Buddy today!

Your Photo/Video Buddy is skilled in Photoshop and album making. Talk to them about making your Wedding Photos even MORE spectacular!!

I have some folks I've worked with before who are professional wedding photographers. VERY nice work, some of the pics on my website were taken by them. If you're interested in a professional photographer, let me know and I'll send along some recommendations. http://www.clearwaternotaryandweddings.com/photographers.aspx

Flowers:

I can do flower for your wedding! Bridal Bouquets from $65.00, boutonnières from $7.50!! I just need to know what kind of flowers, the color and when you need them!! Call me for prices!

Services:

I can provide other services if needed; I can arrange for caterers or restaurants for the reception or rehearsal dinners, work with your vendors, help with decorations, any little detail you'd like me to help with! I charge tiny fees for these services, generally $25 each. Let me know if you'd like to work with me!
