How do I elope in Florida?
Eloping in Florida is a straightforward process with our guidance. To begin, you'll need to obtain a Florida marriage license from any county clerk's office in the state.

Florida offers year-round elopement opportunities due to its warm climate. For beach ceremonies, the best time is during the dry season from November to April to avoid rain.

The spring and fall seasons offer comfortable weather for outdoor celebrations. We will help you choose the perfect time based on your location and weather preferences.
