Intimate ceremonies
Elopement officiant in Central Florida
Sometimes the best wedding is the one that feels like you — just the two of you, or a handful of people you love most. Katherine Imundi is an elopement officiant who travels to gardens, lakes, beaches, Disney, backyards, and hidden gems across Orlando and Central Florida.
Elopements are not "less than" a big wedding. Katherine treats every intimate ceremony with the same care: custom vows from your love story, rituals you choose, and a warm presence that puts you at ease.
Planning from out of state? Katherine offers free FaceTime consultations and can guide you on Florida marriage license steps. Many elopement couples marry at Disney, Mount Dora, Clermont hill country, or a coastal beach.
Florida does not require witnesses, a blood test, or residency. Residents wait three days for the license unless they complete a premarital course; tourists often marry the same day. For the full legal checklist see how-to-elope-in-florida.html.
