Your Wedding Officiant Across South Florida
I’m Notary Alan, and I perform wedding ceremonies across 12 communities in Broward and southern Palm Beach counties. Whether you’re dreaming of a barefoot beach elopement in Fort Lauderdale, a sunset ceremony by the Pompano Beach Pier, or an intimate gathering at Red Reef Park in Boca Raton, I’ll come to you and make it official.
Every location below has its own character, its own charm, and its own set of practical details (permits, parking, best ceremony spots). Click through to your city for a complete guide to getting married there.
Beachfront Communities
Fort Lauderdale
The most popular beach wedding destination in Broward County, and for good reason. Fort Lauderdale beach requires no permit for ceremonies, making it the easiest place in South Florida to say “I do.” Wide sandy beaches, the Las Olas lifestyle, and golden-hour sunsets make every ceremony memorable.
Pompano Beach
My hometown and home base. I know every stretch of shoreline here, especially the stunning area around Pompano Beach Pier. A $25 city permit is all you need, and I can walk you through the simple process. More relaxed and less crowded than Fort Lauderdale, with an authentically Florida feel.
Boca Raton
Where elegance meets the ocean. Red Reef Park’s designated wedding site is one of the most beautiful ceremony locations in all of South Florida, with turquoise waters and manicured grounds. Permits and liability insurance required, but the setting is worth every step of the process.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
A charming seaside village with old Florida character. The view of Anglin’s Pier creates a perfect ceremony backdrop, and the town’s walkable restaurants and shops make it easy to celebrate afterward. Ideal for couples who want a small-town beach wedding vibe.
Deerfield Beach
Home to the iconic International Fishing Pier and a beautifully renovated boardwalk area. Deerfield Beach offers a quieter, more laid-back alternative to Fort Lauderdale with equally stunning ocean views. A hidden gem for couples who want beauty without the crowds.
Hillsboro Beach
An exclusive barrier island community with views of the historic Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse. The most private and secluded beach wedding setting in our service area — perfect for couples who want their ceremony to feel truly intimate and away from it all.
Hillsboro Mile
A narrow strip of luxury beachfront between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic. Private, exclusive, and breathtakingly beautiful. Ideal for couples with access to private beachfront property who want an ultra-intimate ceremony setting.
Inland & Intracoastal Communities
Wilton Manors
One of South Florida’s most vibrant and welcoming communities. I’m proud to serve Wilton Manors as an LGBTQ+-friendly wedding officiant. Whether you’re celebrating in a park, a private home, or a local venue along Wilton Drive, your ceremony will be performed with joy and respect for who you are.
Lighthouse Point
A beautiful waterfront community along the Intracoastal Waterway. Known for its yacht club, marina views, and quiet residential charm. Ideal for couples who want a waterfront ceremony without the sand — think dock-side vows with boats gently rocking in the background.
Oakland Park
An affordable and accessible neighborhood just west of Fort Lauderdale. Oakland Park offers beautiful park settings for couples who prefer a garden or gazebo ceremony over a beach setting. Convenient location with easy access from anywhere in Broward County.
Coconut Creek
Known as the “Butterfly Capital of the World,” Coconut Creek offers lush garden settings and community spaces perfect for intimate ceremonies. A suburban gem for couples who want a green, natural backdrop away from the beach.
Sea Ranch Lakes
A small, exclusive community nestled along the Intracoastal Waterway near Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. As a mobile officiant, I come directly to your private residence or chosen location in Sea Ranch Lakes for a ceremony that’s as intimate as it gets.
