Barefoot Vows on Miami Beach, Then Champagne on the Sand
A licensed officiant meets you on the sand at 33rd Street for vows, a champagne toast and a 50-photo beach shoot.
A Florida-licensed officiant meets the two of you on the sand at 33rd Street in Miami Beach for a casual, barefoot ceremony. It can be a legal wedding or a renewal of vows, and either version runs in English or German. After the vows come a champagne toast and a beach photo shoot that includes 50 photos. The booking is private and lasts about an hour.
One booking covers the couple as two travelers, and guests come along at no extra charge. As of October 17, 2026, the wedding and the vow renewal sit on the same listing at the same package price, from USD 499.
MIAMI Beach Wedding or Vow Renewal CeremonyPrivate sixty-minute beach wedding or vow renewal with a licensed officiant, rose bouquet, champagne toast and 50 photos, in English or German.www.viator.comWhat the Package Puts on the Sand
The listing names five parts: a Florida-licensed officiant, the ceremony itself, a rose bouquet, a champagne toast after the vows, and a photo shoot with 50 photos. The booking is private, so no other couple shares your hour. The operator's own wedding FAQ puts the beach ceremony at about 20 minutes, calls it non-religious, and says wedding photos are delivered digitally within 3 days.
The words can be yours. One reviewer wrote in January 2021 that the couple sent the officiant their own script ahead of time, and that she "did a wonderful job" with it. The same reviewer said the officiant had ideas for pictures and took the couple's own ideas too.
Bring Every Guest You Like, but Nobody Sits
Family, children and friends are all welcome, and witnesses are optional. The operator's own wedding FAQ says couples may bring up to two witnesses if they wish, and that a Florida wedding works without any.
Seating arrangements are not permitted on the beach, so plan on everyone standing through the ceremony. There is no venue to check into. The officiant meets you directly on the sand at 33rd Street, across from the public parking lot at 3381 Collins Avenue, and the booking ends at that same spot.
A Legal Wedding Starts at the County Clerk
A legal wedding needs a Florida marriage license before the ceremony. The listing asks couples to bring it to the beach, where the officiant completes and notarizes it. A renewal of vows skips this step.
The first step is the Miami-Dade clerk's online pre-application. The county then issues the license at its Central Marriage License Bureau, 601 NW 1st Court, Room 1900, open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM except legal holidays. Both partners must be there in person, each with an original, valid ID, and a passport counts. The license costs 86 dollars and stays valid for 60 days after issuance, and non-Florida residents are exempt from the three-day waiting period. Neither the license fee nor the apostille is included in the package price.
One Start Time, and a 24-Hour Cutoff
As of October 17, 2026, the booking calendar lists one start time for both versions, 11:00 AM, on every day of the week. Ceremony, toast and photos take about an hour together.
Cancel at least 24 hours before the start for a full refund; inside 24 hours, nothing comes back. The listing offers no weather refund, but the operator's own wedding FAQ says that if it rains, it reschedules the ceremony free of charge. The booking form asks for each traveler's full name and date of birth, and it has a field for special requirements.
The ceremony is casual and barefoot, so dress for sand. If this is a legal wedding, the license comes to the beach with you. Then come the vows, the toast and the photos, with the Atlantic a few steps away.
