Are you engaged and ready to get married? Or would you love to celebrate the love of your life by renewing your vows? Make plans for our 5th annual Valentine\u2019s Day Wedding and Vow Renewal Ceremony!<\/p>\n

As your Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, my dedicated staff and I perform more than 1,000 constitutional duties and statutory roles in service of the people of Collier County. One of these roles is to act as an Agent for the State of Florida to issue Marriage Licenses <\/u>within Collier County. Hosting this ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate the most romantic day of the year with our constituents, who are embarking on a new life together or renewing those prior commitments. It is an honor to officiate a ceremony that brings so much love and joy to our community.<\/p>\n

The event will be held at the Eva Sugden Gomez Center at Baker Park, with cake and refreshments courtesy of our local sponsors (please see the list of sponsors and thank them for their support of our event). To commemorate this event, couples will receive a certificate from the Clerk\u2019s office. Additionally, a photographer will be present to take photos of the happy couples as a remembrance of the occasion.<\/p>\n

Engaged couples must pay a $30 wedding ceremony fee and secure a valid marriage license. They should plan to secure their marriage licenses between December 16, 2024, and February 11, 2025, to be eligible to marry on Valentine\u2019s Day. Standard rates will apply when applying for marriage licenses, and if the couple has completed a premarital preparation course, they must present this during the application.<\/p>\n

Limited space is available, so couples are encouraged to register early for the 2025 Wedding and Vow Renewal Ceremony. Additional information about the Marriage License application and the event is available at collierclerk.com. The Clerk\u2019s Office is open to community partnerships and sponsorships to support this event, please call 239-252-7242 for inquiries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
