Backyard & Airbnb
Backyard wedding officiant in Orlando
A lot of Central Florida weddings now happen under string lights in a backyard, at a Kissimmee vacation rental, or in a Winter Garden garden — not a ballroom. Katherine Imundi is a backyard wedding officiant who writes ceremonies that fit a small lawn, a pool cage, or an Airbnb patio.
Home and rental weddings are quieter, cheaper, and easier for pets and kids. They also need an officiant who can work without a sound system or a long aisle. Katherine keeps the ceremony short enough for standing guests and personal enough that it does not feel improvised.
She travels across Orlando, Windermere, Winter Garden, Apopka, Kissimmee vacation homes, and Lake County properties. Confirm any HOA or rental-host rules; Katherine brings the legal piece and the vows. Florida still requires a marriage license — no witnesses needed.
Airbnb and vacation-rental ceremonies near Disney
Destination couples often marry at a short-term rental near Walt Disney World instead of buying a Disney Fairy Tale Weddings package. Katherine officiates those intimate ceremonies in Kissimmee, Celebration, Davenport, and Lake Buena Vista-area homes — custom fairytale wording included if you want the magic without the resort minimum.
What a backyard ceremony usually includes
A simple processional (or none), a welcome, your story, vows and rings, an optional unity moment, and the pronouncement. Ten to twenty minutes is typical. Katherine will suggest where to stand for shade, wind, and photos.
What Katherine offers
- Homes & rentals — Backyards, Airbnbs, pool decks, and private gardens across Central Florida.
- Pets & kids welcome — Family pinky promise and dog-friendly vows are a Katherine specialty.
- No ballroom required — She brings a ceremony that works in small outdoor spaces.
Common questions
Can a wedding officiant come to our house in Orlando?
Yes. Katherine is a mobile officiant who travels to backyards, private homes, and vacation rentals throughout Orlando and Central Florida.
Do we need a permit for a backyard wedding?
Most private-home ceremonies for a small guest list do not need a venue permit. Check HOA rules and short-term rental contracts. Parks and public beaches may require permits — Katherine can talk through the location you have in mind.
Can we have a Disney-area Airbnb wedding?
Yes. Many couples hire Katherine for ceremonies at Kissimmee and Celebration vacation homes as a more affordable Disney-area wedding than an official park package.
