Wedding Ceremony Chair Options and Ideas

News

Recently, a bride asked me about providing chairs for her with her wedding ceremony setup. I asked her what type of chair she wanted and she didn’t really know what I meant. I told her about all the different wedding ceremony chair options and ideas. She was surprised and didn’t realize that there were so many different types of chairs to select from. She thought a chair was just a chair!

There are a lot of different types of ceremony chairs. When doing a beach wedding ceremony simple white fan back chairs look very pretty…and are very affordable. This is a pretty Tarpon Springs vow renewal ceremony setup with our bamboo arbor and white fan back chairs. Charmaine and George Sr. setup the ceremony and officiated the ceremony and took pictures.

For a wedding a chair isn’t just a chair it’s part of your décor. There are ceremony chairs and reception chairs. Some couples will use the ceremony chairs for the reception and others will have 2 different types of chairs. Depending on your wedding and your budget you’ll need decide what works best for your wedding.

4th of July Clearwater Beach Wedding Ceremony

4th of July Clearwater Beach Wedding Ceremony

News

Jocelyn & Waldemar have been together for over 19 years. They were going to be traveling to Florida from Pennsylvania and staying in Kissimmee for the last week of June and over the 4th. They were going to come over to Clearwater Beach for the 4th of July and wanted a morning Clearwater beach wedding ceremony. Jocelyn called me and sent me photos of what she wanted for her Clearwater beach wedding ceremony.  She wanted bamboo arbor with starfish tie backs and decorated with turquoise fabric and white fabric. She also asked to have an aisle runner with sea shells and flower petals in the center.  She said this was her first time being married and she wanted something simple but beautiful. She hired me to put together her dream wedding ceremony including Officiant (me) and photographer. I was glad to help her put everything together!

4th of July morning arrived and it was a beautiful hot summer day. Very hot! Fortunately, we found a spot on Clearwater Beach to set up where a lot of beach goers hadn’t arrived at. A number of family members from the area arrived and guests. Jocelyn had a special song that she asked to be played as she walked down the aisle. It was a Spanish song called Solo Para Ti. When Jocelyn walked down the beach she looked so pretty. As Waldemar (also called Tito) looked at his bride I could see how much love he had for her and how happy they were for this day to finally be here. Jocelyn had been making plans for the wedding with me since early February.

Jocelyn & Tito were so happy to have so many of their family members present. They wanted all kinds of combinations taken. It was a fun wedding. Everyone was enjoying themselves and having fun with the pictures. We even had a very patriotic Santa Claus (Christmas in July on the beach join us for photo and congratulations.

New Year’s Eve Clearwater Beach Wedding Ceremony

New Year’s Eve Clearwater Beach Wedding Ceremony

News

Steve contacted me about performing his wedding on Dec 31, 2014. He was traveling to Florida with his fiancé and their daughters from Illinois to visit family members in Ocala. While on vacation they wanted to get married. Steve wanted everything to be just right for their wedding. He had never been married and wanted to plan a nice wedding with family and a few friends. He inquired about our wedding packages and asked me if we had, “one of those things you stand under.” Hehe! Too funny! I asked him if he meant an arbor or an arch and he said “yeah, yeah that’s what I mean.” I directed him to our website and showed him the Clearwater Beach Specials that we offer. It sounded just like what he wanted. The arbor, photographer, and table and clothe for a sand ceremony. He had us add 10 folding chairs, a video, and music. He was very excited about having put together the package and that I was able to accommodate him for his New Year’s Eve Day Clearwater Beach Wedding Ceremony.

George Sr. took photos and video for Steve & Amber. After the ceremony while George was taking photos I spoke to Steve’s Grandmother who was so happy for them. She told me that Steve & Amber had been together since they were 15 years old. They own a house, he is a hard worker, has a good job, and they have their three daughters. Steve had told his Grandmother that the only thing they were missing was marriage. She was so proud of him in putting together a beautiful Clearwater Beach Wedding Ceremony. It was something he really wanted to do. Amber held back tears as the vows were recited. They are a great couple and I had a wonderful family with them.

Redington Beach Florida Wedding

Redington Beach Florida Wedding

News

Jackie and Jerry were travelling to Florida from Indiana to spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with her parents. Her parents had a timeshare unit at Redington Ambassador Resorts on the beach. Jackie and Jerry thought it would be great to have a Redington Beach Florida Wedding, be with her parents, and spend Thanksgiving together. When Jackie called I suggested a package with photographer and officiant. She happily said, How easy! Do I need to do anything else?” I let her know she would just need to get their Florida Marriage License when she arrived, and be safe driving to Florida!

The wedding was on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It was rather chilly day so they decided to have the wedding on the balcony at the condo where they were staying. She was concerned about her parents being out in the cold on the beach. The balcony had a gorgeous ocean view.
Jackie’s parents were very pleased that they decided to have the wedding while visiting with them over the holiday.

Geralyn corresponded with me about the wedding setup, photos, where to get flowers, hair done, where to go to dinner etc…She was paying great attention to details and I could tell by her messages just how excited and how much this meant to her.  In some of her messages, I could pick up tearful sentiment as she was corresponding about her daughter’s wedding. I let her know that I had a daughter recently get married and sent her my picture of me balling my eyes out at my daughter’s wedding. She laughed, and we continued with Mother-to-Mother correspondence in planning her daughter’s wedding. We enjoyed corresponding and planning her daughter’s wedding.

Palm Harbor Officiant attends Weddings on Water Bridal Showcase

News

On Sunday I participated as a Palm Harbor Officiant vendor at The Weddings on Water Bridal Showcase event at Bon Appetit in Dunedin. What a great event!! I had never participated in one of these events and I was glad I did.

20140928_115117

Me and my table representing A Beautiful Wedding in Florida Palm Harbor Officiant Services and More!

I met a number of brides, family members, and got to meet a number of local vendors. Over 30 vendors had their tables setup displaying their products or wedding services. Prizes were given away throughout the event. Most vendors had a prize to be drawn and the winner had to be present to win. Many attendees wanted to stick around for the drawings so a constant flow of attendees continued to inquire at vendor tables about products and services they offered. A number of great wedding prizes were being given away. The grand prize was a $2500 towards a Bon Appetit wedding.  Bon Appetit provided D’Oeuvrs  and champagne for guest to enjoy as they visited the vendor tables.

I finally got to meet Desiree Chambelin who is the owner of Chantilly Cakes. Her cakes are at so many of the weddings I’ve officiated at. I never get to taste them. She had samples so of course I had to try them out. They are as good tasting as they are good looking. They are now open in Palm Harbor.

Harp by Victoria was playing soft comforting music on her harp as guest were arriving.

Photo Bots was on one side of my table and Party Doctor Productions DJ Service on the other side. Party Doctor played music, and did all the prize drawings. Attendees could request songs by texting or by just letting them know what they wanted to hear. They were so entertaining at the bridal show I could only imagine that they would have guest dancing and well entertained at a wedding.

As a Palm Harbor officiant service, we often get asked about other products services, and ideas for different wedding things. The show was a great way for me to get to know other vendors and the services they offer. The show was not only great for attendees to get wedding ideas, but it was a great way for me to see wedding ideas that I can offer and suggest to brides, couples or anyone needing so many of these services and products. A Beautiful Wedding In Florida Palm Harbor, Dunedin & Tallahassee offer wedding packages and we can also share a number of ideas and services that you may be considering for your wedding.
