beach vow renewal

Renewal of Marriage Vows Available.

Surprise Renewals are always a blast!  We have created some fun (& very memorable) means to meet up & surprise either spouse with a touching & meaningful acknowledgement of their milestone celebration.

The children & grandchildren of a couple, who were first married before the husband was deployed to Vietnam in the 60’s, organized a wonderful surprise for their mom.  Their Dad got on his knee and proposed to her again. Needless to say, there wasn’t a dry eye on the beach during their sweet ceremony.

Thank you! 

In closing, we want to say thank you. Our Wedding Officiant team has  the privilege of witnessing and sharing the special joy and grace of each wedding. Gifts of love exchanged amongst family and friends is a treasured blessing to us all. We are fortunate and grateful to have been given the honor of conducting countless wedding ceremonies.
