Gazebo wedding ceremony at The Estate at Florentine Gardens

A ceremony will feel so much warmer if you feel a connection to the person performing it. Meet with several officiants to find the right one for your ceremony. You want to discuss your history as a couple to include personal touches in your one-of-a–kind ceremony. The officiant will give you the freedom to express your own spirituality and unique personalities in a ceremony made just for the two of you.
