Officiant Process: From Start to Ceremony

Heartfelt Words from Our Couples

“The Best Experience”

We had the best experience with Conch Concierge. After a somewhat sudden decision to get married while in Key West, we found them and they practically took care of everything. We had a sunrise beach ceremony and it couldn’t have been more perfect for us. Rasa was our driver and photographer. She was great. Honestly, my new husband and I are so happy with how things turned out. Read more reviews

“Professional Officiant Service”

Michael was an absolute very professional officiant and pleasure to work with. He did a beautiful job of bringing my vision of our ceremony to life and added in a few of his own touches. The marriage license was sent out very quickly and received back recorded within a week. I highly recommend his and his team for your Key West wedding! Read more reviews

“Incredible Personal Service”

We had a great experience! Michael listened to our romance story and personalized our vows in a heartfelt way, I am very shy by nature, as is my daughter and we were made to feel at ease. Rosa took some incredible photos and we can’t wait to see them when she’s finished editing! Read more reviews
