Healing Hearts Fellowship

Healing Hearts Fellowship is a wedding officiant service in Fort Myers, Florida. It aims to help you begin your marriage with a meaningful, personalized ceremony, and invites couples to get in touch to learn more.

For LGBTQ+ couples

Healing Hearts Fellowship is LGBTQ+-owned. A conversation with an officiant who shares your perspective can help you decide what to include in a ceremony and what to leave out, from the wording of vows to the people who take part.

What to ask about

• Personalized wedding ceremonies
• Help with wording and structure
• Availability on your date and location
• Rehearsal attendance

Planning a ceremony

Think about tone first. Some couples want a short and light ceremony, while others want a longer one with readings, music and rituals. Share your story with the officiant and talk through how much family involvement you want.

Write down a few things that matter, such as how you want to be introduced and which words feel right. Decide whether you will write your own vows and agree on length.

Legal steps in Florida

You will need a marriage license from a county clerk of court, and Florida licenses are valid for a limited period, so apply with the date in mind. Ask the officiant to explain who signs, how the license is returned and when you can expect a certified copy.

Local context

Fort Myers and nearby Southwest Florida offer beaches, gardens and historic sites for ceremonies. If you are marrying outdoors, ask about heat, shade and sound, and plan a backup location in case of storms, especially in summer.

Questions to ask

Ask how many conversations are included, whether a draft ceremony is shared in advance, and what travel is possible.
