FAQs

A deposit must be paid as soon as you are informed that your date is available to make sure that an office space and the time you request is available.

Deposits start at $49 at the East Orlando office near UCF. You will be sent an invoice through Paypal. You do not need to have a PayPal account, just a debit or credit card.

*Other offices are more expensive at upwards of $100-$250 per hour for the exact same amount of space or less. I don't feel that the cost makes sense at that rate. They are basically charging higher rates for the locations which are usually in downtown areas. If you are interested in other locations you will be responsible for the increased rental cost in addition to travel fees and the cost of the ceremony. Be advised that these are offices, not event spaces and are not available on the weekends or Federal Holidays that fall during the week.

An Elopement - is defined as a wedding for just the couple . No guests To elope means to get married without telling anyone, especially the parents and families. While the technical definition of eloping is "running away," it has a slightly more nuanced definition in wedding parlance. To elope may also suggest that you forgo a large formal wedding and elope for the ceremony instead. Many times the couple has a larger wedding or a big celebration at a later date. It takes away the stress and costs of planning a larger weddings.

A Micro Wedding- is defined as a wedding with either just the couple or the couple and up to 4-6 guests. The guests usually being the couple's parents, siblings or children. Oftentimes if family is unavailable, the guests are very close, usually lifelong friends of the couple. The couple wants the experience of a full length ceremony, but privacy is also a requirement. Many times the couple will feel free to do a themed or untraditional ceremony. These couples also usually forgo a traditional wedding reception opting to have a small get together afterwards at restaurants or someone's home. Sometimes a second larger wedding or celebration is planned but it is more likely to be celebrated much further down the road as a vow renewal.

A Very Intimate Wedding - is a wedding with the couple and usually about 10 guest and always under 20 guests. Couples who chose this option want to experience a full length ceremony and may only want a very few people at their nuptials. Ceremonies are usually inside of a 30 minute time period. These couples look for venues with accommodations for small weddings and usually end up in parks, gardens, beaches or renting a room or patio in restaurants. They are usually shy or introverts and don't prefer the attention to be on them but want their close family to be there for support. This is a popular option for destination weddings. These couples also usually forgo a traditional wedding reception opting to have a small get together afterwards at restaurants or someone's home or their vacation villa.

Intimate Weddings - a wedding where the couple has a guest list ranging anywhere from 20-40 guests. There is usually a small bridal party however, about half of these weddings forgo a bridal party. The ceremony is anywhere from 10-20 minutes in length. A large portion of the guests are made up of family members and close friends. It is common for these wedding couples to have a traditional reception. These weddings are sometimes held at homes or in backyards.

Small Weddings - A wedding where a couple has between 30-60 guests . A large portion of the guests are family members, friends and a few coworkers. The couple usually has a small bridal party.

Luxe Wedding - Elaborate, high end wedding for couples of mean. The guest list varies from 2 to hundreds of guests. The ceremony is usually lengthy, commonly 45 minutes to an hour or more, filled with multiple speakers out side of the officiant and can include entertainment. Every element is flashy, showy and high end and uber expensive. The couple usually hires upscale , expensive vendors and rents equally upscale and expensive venues. The cocktail hour is usually extensive being anywhere from 1-2 hours before the formal and lavish sit down reception and many times after parties begin.

One is located inside Research Park not far from the UCF campus.

The second is located just off University Drive close to Rouse Rd.

I will always try to book the office near UCF first as it is more affordable and the office spaces at both locations are the same size. The UCF office also has some green space out side for pictures only and is located close to a few hotels that are operational.

The offices are only minutes from Waterford Lake Shopping and dining as well as dining options on University. Only about 45 minutes to 1 hour away from Cocoa Beach, 20 minutes to Winter Park and 15 to Oviedo and 30 minutes to/from downtown Orlando.

Destination Couples can grab their wedding license and head over the same day.(RSVPs are still required)

Local couples usually have a 3 day wait but that gives you time to RSVP

You will get the exact address once I am able to reserve the space and time.

The first thing you will need to do is fill out the rsvp form to see if I and your date are available.

Next- A deposit of at least $50 is required as soon as you are notified that the East Orlando office space by UCF for your date and time is available.

Your deposit reserves your date and time and is non-refundable.

You will be invoiced through PayPal. You do not need a Paypal account, just a credit or debit card.

You must pay $50-$80 to reserve your date and time depending on which office has availability. Then the balance due date depends on how far in advance you have reserved my services. Balances are usually due between 72 hours and 1 week prior to the ceremony. Most couples just pay the balance upfront due to the affordable costs. Invoicing is done strictly through PayPal Invoice. The invoice will allow you to pay the deposit and then pay the balance later or pay all at once. NO exceptions.

This helps to ensure (but does not guarantee) that you get your first date and time choice. The further out you request your date the better. Usually 3-6 months out always gets the date and time they want.

Cash and gift cards are accepted as gratuity. You can also leave a tip on the PayPal invoice.

Clients that book the Eloper or the Micro Wedding will have the option to do a short video consultation. Currently by Skype, Google Duo or Zoom. The majority of communication will be done through emails and texts.

Offices require masks to be worn to be allowed to enter the building and also once inside the lobby you must wear a mask. For the ceremony I will be wearing a mask. You may choose to not wear a mask once the office door is closed but will still be required to adhere to social distancing and will be charged $25 extra for time to disinfect the office space after your ceremony.

Please note if you show up to the building without a mask, you will not be allowed inside the property and services will not be rendered and no refund will be given. This is non negotiable.

You may have to have your temperature taken by the receptionist. If this becomes a requirement and your temperature or your guests temperature is not within the acceptable range you will have the option to reschedule but you will have to pay the rental fee for that new date and time. If you call within 48 hours or more of your date it may be possible to just reschedule you but that again depends on the company policies about rescheduling. If you are not feeling well, running a fever, or have tested positive for the virus please call as soon as possible to inform me. I will do my best to work with you and reschedule your date.

Please remember these are close quarter and confined office spaces.

If wearing a mask is a problem, as described above, I suggest planning an outdoor wedding and choosing an elopement or very intimate wedding option from the ceremony page at I DO Weddings by Sheri or finding another officiant to provide you services.

No. No and No. Open flames are not permitted at either office location. Only Flameless candles are allowed. Bubbles are not permitted as they may cause a slipping hazard in an office with hardwood floors. You may also do unity ceremonies that do not include flames or lighting anything on fire. Remember this is a shared space, I do not own the office, I am renting office space, which means I pay to use it by the hour on an as needed basis to keep pricing affordable.

Affordable decoration options:

You will be able to choose from simple floral, draped or backdrop themed options all using artificial flowers. Themed and fun decor for holidays. You will be able to see options and pictures on the Specials page soon

A square thin copper arch is used due to limited space. Add a simple to elaborate decorated arch from $75-$250

Rent the arch and do your own decoration for $50 - You may have a personalized cloth backdrop sign made to fit inside a 6x4 copper arch. This means you would need to pay to rent the arch. It would need to slide on like a curtain rod. You will need to set it up and remove it within your rental time of 1 hour or add and extra hour for $75

Remember, we are going for quick and simple ceremonies. The offices are not very big, They come with desks, tables and two to four chairs that take up a good amount of real estate in the room. Space is very limited. And we are trying to keep things simple and affordable.

At this time limited outside decor is allowed using these vendors.

Please use Monica's Cleaners to make your masks and hem the material you buy for your backdrop (407) 382-2277

Please use ZoZo Flowershop to make your flower arrangements, bouquets and boutonnières website or call (407) 250-6844

Absolutely! Live florals or artificial are fine. I am also a fan of floral head wreaths and boutonnieres. Please remember to take it with you at the end of the ceremony. I do not offer bouquets as part of the service.

You can book your ceremony up to 6 months in advance and no less than 72 hours in advance. Last minute weekday weddings (booked within 24 hours or on the same day) may be available but will have a $50 fee assessed to the cost and the office size may be limited..

The Full Experience

If you are booking the Micro Wedding, you may want the Full Experience. You will need to book the space for 2 hours if you want the full experience, which includes decor, pictures and time to have a small bite with the lucky few whom you choose to attend (you may bring a small wedding cake or cupcakes, non alcoholic drinks and finger foods along with tableware, utensils and music). 2 hours gives you time to have a full length personalized ceremony experience without rushing to squeeze everything into one hour.

You will have time to set up any digital recording or live streaming, utilize the grounds outside for pictures and actually have time to enjoy a cake cutting, finger foods and even a first dance if you like with the lucky 1-4 guests you invite to attend, plus gives ample time to set up prior and clean up afterwards.

Most couples choose this option later in the week (Wednesdays - Fridays and usually between 10-12pm, 12-2pm and 2-4pm.)

You would just add an additional $75 tax for the extra hour.

The option is available on the reservation page. You are responsible for cleaning up everything before you leave. The office has to be left the same way it was rented; empty and clean.
