Each "Sun and Sea Beach Wedding" ceremony is customized to fit the needs of the couple.
Each wedding ceremony is different, from the vows, music, decor, ...down to the guests attire!!!!!
The beautiful beaches of the First Coast ( St. Augustine and Jacksonville ) and Jekyll Island, GA. offer the perfect setting for a romantic and unique Sun and Sea Beach Wedding ceremony.

We offer several wedding vows including Traditional, Oceanside/Beachside as well as ring vows to choose from.......or create/write your own!!!!!

Children from previous relationships are included through out the ceremony as well as your guests......whether you have 2 or 200!!!!!

            It will be a memorable day for EVERYONE!!!!!!
Each of the couples are given a packet of several vows/ring vows to choose from.
The bride and groom are welcome to add/delete any words to customize for their needs.  They do not have to use the same vow/ring vow- it's very common for us to get separate envelopes/e-mails so the other will be surprised on their wedding day!!!!

The vows are either repeated after the Officiate or they are given in the form of a scroll to be read by the Bride and/or Groom.......with "message-in-a-bottle" vows.
           (additional fee for bottles and vows on parchment or tropical paper)

                                     

Some couples have the traditional wedding party. Instead of flower girls on the beach we have "seashell girls" tossing seashells from a basket along the beach..... the ring bearer carries a treasure chest to hold the rings
     ( additional fee for shell basket and/or treasure chest )
Brides have been escorted by both parents, their child(ren), close friends and of course ......dear ole' Dad!!!!!!
The music is traditional, Hawaiian wedding music, new age, instrumental or seaside wedding music or..."your favorite".
After the ring vows is when the Unity Heart of Glass sand ceremony is done.
          Some couples ask the Mothers to get the sand;
                it's then given to the bride and groom.

The Hand Ceremony is beautiful and touching.

Children from previous relationships can be  included in the ceremony-
This part of the ceremony is call "Family Promises".
Some couples opt to bring a gift to present to the child/children during the ceremony (ring, bracelet, necklace, etc.)
Children are also involved in other parts of the ceremony as well......after all it is an important day for them too!!!!!!
The "Blessing Stones" are a big hit with the guests- The couple are given each a Blessing Stone and are asked to repeat a verse together after the Officiate.  Then baskets of stones are passed around to all the guests.  After the couple is pronounced, the guests follow them to the edge of the water and on the count of 3, everyone casts their stones in the water, making a wish or a blessing for the "Happy Couple".
            It involves everyone that attends the wedding!!!
     The children are also included in this part of the ceremony


The Best Man (or your most long winded guest) can be given a conch shell horn prior to the ceremony ( additional fee for conch horn )

When the couple are pronounced Husband and Wife....he/she blows the horn and gets a keepsake as well!!!!! ( The couple can only kiss as long as the horn is blown!!!  HA!!! )

You can also include other Family members or Friends in the ceremony..they can lead in a prayer, read a poem, sing.......whatever you want!!!
