Getting married in Florida and Walt Disney World

White sand beaches, fantastic theme parks and year-round sunshine make Florida an ideal wedding venue.

Why get married in Florida and Walt Disney World?

Approximately 100 miles long and 400 miles wide, Florida boasts a wonderful semi-tropical climate and hundreds of miles of white sand beaches. The Sunshine State is located on a large peninsula at the most southern point of the eastern coast of the United States, just over 1000 miles south of New York City.

Probably best known for its theme parks such as Disney World and Universal studios, Florida can combine a fairytale wedding with a relaxing honeymoon.

What kind of wedding ceremony can I have in Florida and Walt Disney World?

Florida has so much to offer when it comes to wedding ceremonies -- from Disney World to a lakeside gazebo, or a religious service in a chapel. Legally recognised marriage ceremonies can be performed by all regularly ordained ministers of a church, and all judicial officers, clerks of the circuit courts and notaries of the state.
