How much does a wedding officiant cost in Orlando?
Orlando couples on Reddit routinely budget $150 and then discover professional officiants start higher — because a real ceremony is more than a 10-minute reading. Katherine Imundi publishes a clear booking process (50% deposit, balance one month prior) and quotes current fees based on your date, venue, and ceremony style.
What you are paying for is not 20 minutes at the altar. It is a custom-written ceremony, a rehearsal with wedding bookings, travel to your Central Florida venue, legal solemnization by a licensed Florida notary, and someone who has already thought through the processional, microphone, and license filing.
Elopements and vow renewals are usually simpler (and priced accordingly) than a full wedding with a rehearsal. Destination Disney-area or beach travel can affect the quote. Contact Katherine at 407-619-0173 or info.imarrycouples@gmail.com for current ceremony fees — she will not surprise you with add-on scripts.
What is included in Katherine's officiant fee?
A ceremony written from your love story, officiant travel to your venue in Central Florida, a rehearsal with wedding bookings, and filing of the signed marriage license. FaceTime consultations are free for couples planning from out of town. See payment.html for deposit and balance timing.
Why some Orlando officiants cost $300+
Budget listings at $150 often mean a generic script, no rehearsal, and little backup if the officiant is late. Professional Central Florida officiants charge more because they write original wording, run the timeline, and carry the legal responsibility. Katherine's couples consistently mention that the ceremony felt personal — that is the difference.

Common questions
How much does a wedding officiant cost in Orlando in 2026?
Professional Orlando officiants commonly charge several hundred dollars depending on travel, rehearsal, and customization. Contact Katherine at 407-619-0173 for a current quote for your date and venue. A 50% deposit reserves the date.
Is an elopement officiant cheaper than a full wedding?
Usually yes — elopements are shorter, often skip a formal rehearsal, and have a smaller footprint. Ask Katherine for both options if you are undecided.
Does the fee include the Florida marriage license?
No. The clerk charges a separate license fee (often around $86, less with a premarital course). Katherine's fee is for officiant services. She can guide you through Lake County by-mail license steps if you use that option.
