Between the mixed reviews and the lack of communication from the staf I really thought we might get scammed out of our money or something but everything ended up being absolutely PERFECT! I'm so glad I took the risk and I was very grateful for my experience. The photos came out great and our ceremony was so perfect and intimate. We chose this company because it was affordable, the had a special going for the tiki parasol package. We wanted to elope but wanted an intimate beach ceremony. We requested a sunset wedding and the timing they accommodated us with was perfect. There ended up being two photographers who captured lots of different angles. They took so many photos my jaws hurt from smiling (lol) but I was very thankful for them all later. I must also mention I opted out of the silk bouquet and created my own because they didn't offer sunflowers. I will say there are two items from the package I never received: Personalized keepsake copy of vows Personalized keepsake marriage certificate Other than that I had a great experience and was able to get digital copies of all my photos for $99 (300+ photos, the package only included 75) If you want something small and intimate this is the way to go. If you want a big beach wedding you might not get what you expect from them... ever heard of you get what you pay for? Well it's true and you can't expect fancy, extravagant things when you don't pay an extravagant price for them. read more

Affordable Beach Weddings aka Beach Weddings and More aka Beach Weddings N More aka Notary On Time LLC. AND a few other companies that may be in this ring, scammed me for a total of $4,599. For my upcoming wedding. I called the number on the site where Nancy Muro is listed as the Owner. She sent me a phone number to whom she stated was the coordinator and could help me further. That man was Armando Rodriguez. A bogus contract was drew up, deposit made, installments and final payment made. I called Armandos phone number and it's not in service! I immediately contacted the same number who is Nancy Muro who claimed that she had no record of my date, name or payments. She claimed to not speak to Armando in a 1 5 years. She conveniently offered services but in another location and not exactly what we paid for due to having another obligation. She also stated that I wasn't the 1st bride who'd contacted her on his behalf with same issue. However, there are reviews dated within This year that us under her listed business name! My wedding day is 4 days away and had to pivot due to this! We and our guests are flying in from NY to Florida with no Beach wedding and monies STOLEN! PLEASE BEWARE! read more

1) I planned this wedding for sunrise approx 2 months prior to the date I requested. I purchase the package that had tikis and it was on sale. Legit the whole package for the wedding cost me ~500 all in. 2) I brought my own pastor for sentimental purposes so can't speak to this 3) Luis and Ilse photographed. THEY MADE MY DAY. Request them at all costs. They are husband and wife so they helped my husband feel comfortable about how to do some of the poses for the photos. I requested some specific shots the night before the wedding and they were incredible. I also had a few guests arrive late and they took photos first and didn't mind the delay. I love these humans and it certainly made a microwedding/elopement feel like a stress free beautiful day. read more

Very very disappointed with their service. They do not communicate clearly and Nancy becomes rude when you ask for explanation. I contacted Nancy for my beach wedding in June. The important point for me was the decoration. She asked me what I wanted so I picked a picture from their Facebook page (a very nice blue decorated arch). I paid $500 for the arch only and what I got was cheap and far from what we agreed on (see picture). When I shared my disappointment with Nancy, instead of acknowledging the fact and apologizing, she brought up the weather forecast as a justification. And when I challenged that, she became rude. Completely unprofessional! That was a unique day, something that we cannot repeat, and I regret having chosen them. read more

Discussed on phone with owner what we were seeking in beach wedding, owners agreed and said we needed to pay half for deposit then receive contract. Reviewed contract following day, it was not at all what we discussed and owner would not change it. Requested cancelation and refund, less than 24 hours after scheduling. Ownder said refund would be processed but taked 45 DAYS to receive - EXTREMELY SHADY BUSINESS, DO NOT PATRON. read more

I was in the hospital for days without my phone and the moment I was out, I had tons of missed calls and texts from this man. Asking about clarification for our wedding date, which the contract was signed before I went into the hospital so I am not sure why there was confusion? He harassed me until he received a response. When I called he began to curse me out and demanded I cancel my wedding. I was very disappointed to have that interaction with the owner and I was even more disappointed about having to cancel our wedding. Currently awaiting a refund on our deposit and if it's not refunded we will be forced to take legal action. How sad considering this was supposed to be the happiest day of our life. read more

Very unprofessional during service. Photographer made inappropriate and off color comments as well. Not necessary on your wedding day!

RATING=NO STAR, not even 1! Hands off from this company. Very unprofessional, no good manners, as long as they see the chance to make money with you they act in a polite way...otherwise they treat you and talk to you like sh.t. Especially Mr. R.! I warn you hands off from this company!!! There are many more wedding companies in Florida to recommend, but certainly not this one!! Save your time and your money and choose a different company for your wedding ceremony! P.S.: They might have changed their name now to "beachweddingsnmore"...instead of "affordablebeachwedding"...but still the same rude people! read more

I was married by Luis on June 2nd, and he was very accommodating due to the fact I left my license at home and said I could mail it in. My happiness soon turned to dissatisfaction when I received my license returned to sender and I resent it to the address via certified mail. I called the number on file only to be finally answered via text message and was provided with false information. The young ladies husband then called my phone and cursed at me calling me a fucking idiot when I asked for the officiant to call me the next business day. I will be reporting this company to the BBB and seeking legal action for their poor business practices. read more

DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE! We hired them in January for a June wedding. Gave a deposit of half at that point and was told 2 months prior to the ceremony we would need to pay the balance. In March I had some questions and was told that we were past due on the balance and would need to pay immediately. No sweat, we just paid it. Early on with Armando we were told that he would find a backup location in case weather conditions wouldn't allow for a ceremony on the beach and it would cost us $500.00 to secure that. In May, I reached out to him in regard to the backup and was told that I should find one myself. We are now 30 days away and I have to run and find a backup location. This as it turns out was not an easy task. With all the stress of planning for the reception, dealing with the quest list, my wife with her dress, me with my suit I now have the added pressure of finding a backup location. Luckly I was able to find a perfect place. Ladies and gentlemen, we now come to the good part. The day before the wedding my wife and I receive a text from the photographer and the officiant asking if we have decided on whether we wanted to do the beach or the back up and we needed to have a decision by noon. The ceremony was scheduled for 6:30pm. I reached out to Armando to see if he could possibly allow me more time as the weather was some rain and some sun. His response was absolutely not. I was not particularly happy with that and pleaded with him. He said his people were 3 hours away and needed to set up. I said, how was I supposed to know that, his response was "it was none of my business". Thats right folks, that was his response. That upset me and responded with "that's how you talk to your customers?" He then told me to close my mouth, or he would cancel the ceremony and refund my money. Again, this is the morning before. It took everything in my soul not to tell him exactly what I wanted to say at that moment, but I had to eat it as to not ruin the day my wife has been dreaming of. That day has come and gone, and I say this to Armando, who I pray is reading this. Try to get me to shut my mouth now. read more

We are so happy with the service provided by Armando and his team. Throughout the process, he was very responsive and informative. They made the process smooth and as stress free as possible. His officiant services were very efficient and he made us feel so comfortable. Trish, the photographer was so sweet and patient. The photos were amazing! Thank you so much to the both of you who created such a memorable experience. read more

Planning a wedding across the country is not easy. I am so lucky I found Armando at affordable beach weddings. He answered all of my questions and concerns. Price is so reasonable for everything you get. Our wedding was last weekend & I can't get over how perfect everything was. Armando & Trish (photographer) did an amazing job. Trish called me the day before to introduce herself & this made me feel so comfortable with her the day of. I felt like I knew her and Armando even though I had just met them. I got a sneak peak of our pictures that night & OH MY GOD! I was speechless. So beautiful!!! The whole wedding was just so beautiful! I wouldn't change a thing. I'm so happy I went with them. I highly recommend them!!!!! Thank you everyone at affordable beach weddings for making my dream come true. read more

We had a perfect intimate ceremony with just some friends and family on the beach. Our officient was funny and the photos came out great! Sand ceremony is something we never thought we needed but now I am so glad that the package came with it. read more

I am so happy with my experience and my wedding! It was beyond perfect Nancy was so sweet she made us feel so special! Our photographer Elieth was amazing and went above and beyond! These woman truly cared and loved their jobs! It made it so special for us! Thank you soooo much for making our day so special!!!! read more

Had my ceremony today and went off without a hitch. Clear communication. Favorite thing hands down was the photographers. They were amazing. So knowledgeable and patient. Amazing team at Ilse Marie photography. They went above and beyond! Made us feel so comfortable and really worked to get amazing shots. read more

DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE!!! Everything seemed great until the day of the wedding, 3 hours before our wedding was going to start I get a text from Armando that he will not be able to put up the chandeliers that he promised me he could put up with no problem. But that wasn't even the end of it, I then find out that the 500 feet of bistro lighting he also promised me was only 4 puny poles around a 20x20 dance floor with hideous sand bags totally visible. I then proceeded calling Armando to ask what is going on and he tells me that, it looks "beautiful" and there's nothing he can do because he's too far away. So the bottom line is he told me I'm screwed for hiring him and my wedding is going to look a hot mess because of his inexperience and lack of professionalism. Mind you that I hired him almost a year before my wedding and went to the venue with him to talk about how he was planning to do everything and he told me without any doubt it was possible (He has even done weddings there before so he was even more familiar with the venue). Armando was extremely unprofessional with me and my wedding coordinator. He hung up on my coordinator and when I called him, he told me to stop calling him and that he would refund me my money but would not make any attempt to salvage my wedding. If you want someone who could careless about you and your wedding then please feel free to hire him but don't be surprised when he doesn't come through AT ALL! Thankfully we were able to hire someone else which was a miracle on such short notice and they saved the day! Armando did refund us our money but that was not my concern the DAY OF MY WEDDING! He caused me unnecessary stress the day of my wedding and I wish I could go back and do it all over again by NOT hiring him! I want to make sure no other bride has to go through what I went through. The attached pictures are of when they began setting up for the reception area and his poor work was brought to my attention. read more

I had a great time getting information setting my appointment and learning about the area. I got my paperwork as promised it was quick and easy. I did a birthday photoshoot with Trish on Fort Lauderdale Beach. My experience was very professional, full of energy and Trish quickly became one of the family..... I can't wait to see our pictures. Thanks so much Armando, Trish and Affor Beach Weddings read more

3 months ago I called to book my beach wedding for August 12th. I was a little hesitant because it was online and out of state BUT so glad I took the leap of faith because my wedding was perfect! Luis the officiant and Ilse the photographer were a dynamic duo and made my day so special. They work so well together creating and capturing special moments throughout the ceremony! I loved how the officiant allowed my guests to offer words of encouragement and made sure we were satisfied with their services. I most definitely recommend booking through them because everyone was polite and professional. They set up and clean up, you just show up. It is on a public beach so expect some spectators but hubby and I weren't bothered because we were so in tuned with each other! I cannot wait to see our pics and marriage license- yes, they sign and submit to the courts for you. We are one happy married couple! read more

Affordable Beach Weddings - Signed, Sealed Delivered and I'm yours! - Wedding Planning Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Really No stars!! Do not even waste your time Calling this place!!! I went in and was treated with no respect. As if they were too busy and my wedding was very insignificant for them. I waited for Nancy whom I spoke with over the phone she said she could see me that day and we made An appt I waited and She apologized she was running late and could not attend to our appointment because she was with another client. I was assisted by the owner Armando. He seemed very charming at first so much that was about to Decide to do my wedding with them. When I asked if he could throw a little something in the package we had a deal he had the nerve to stick his cell phone in my face and say "look at my calendar do I look like I need to give you any kind of discount or throw anything in there" Im already giving you a good price. " It doesn't stop there he said that I was insulting him by asking if he could throw a little something into the package he said that I was an insulting him repeatedly. I was the one that felt insulted and left the office and I felt so offended. If they keep treating people like this i'm sure they're busy schedule is going to be empty in the near future. After being disrespected and treated poorly I had to pay a five dollar parking fee. Attention ladies do not let anyone treat you like this he did it because I didnt have my fiance there. He felt that he could attack me a woman and it was ok. Well Sir its not ok to treat anyone like this!!!! read more

We got married yesterday 10/1/17 and Nancy and her husband did a fantastic job! We opted for the sweet and simple package and it was perfect! Everytime I had a question I would text or email Nancy and she would respond right away, she was very kind, informative and professional and I enjoyed working with her. Will definitely recommend Affordable Beach Weddings to anyone that wants Class A service!!!! Nancy made us feel comfortable and I enjoyed working with her. Thank you for making our special day perfect! read more

The one star I give this company is for the two that made this day special, your photographer Kellie Leferver and your officiant Roly. Amazing people with great hearts and you can tell they love their jobs and are passionate about it. The rest of the operation is poor to say it kindly. Once I paid for my wedding it was zero communication until I asked two weeks out why I had not been contacted as I was told I would be. When I questioned this Nancy answered my emails one worded and claimed later, it was because they were busy with weddings for the weekend. I kindly asked, when would be a better time to contact them. Monday. was the email I received back. On Monday I emailed and called. When I told them in an email that I tried calling to speak to them about my wedding, (that at this point was 12 days away) they told me I had to make an appointment to speak to them on the phone. I said I don't mind but I had asked Saturday (14 days out) when the best day was to speak and was told today. Then I tried calling Armando who told me I could call anytime. I was beyond frustrated at this point and wanted him to know my concerns that I had absolutely NO IDEA what was even happening for my day. When I called he kept interrupting me where I told him I wanted to express my concerns. He called me a liar and told me that I needed to just trust they know what they are doing and that his company is the best of the best. Yet I have had little to no communication up to this point how would any bride feel. At this point, I added my fiance' to the call. Once Armando realized that my fiance' was on the phone he changed how he talked to me claiming that he was just trying to calm my nerves. When my fiance' asked why he called me a liar Armando told him I just call a spade a spade. WHAT?! This is your customer and I myself am in an industry where you make the customer happy and calm them, not talk down to them. At this point I can't get my money back so I have to ride this out. After the conversation, I get a little more communication and feel semi-good about the wedding but still have no clue if this works out or not. The day before the ceremony I receive a text at 11:30 pm saying they have changed the location a little down the beach and was promised that my 4:30 pm wedding was a "sunset wedding" as requested. We all arrive and the wedding itself was perfect. Roly, as mentioned above was kind and a beautiful speaker. Kellie did her job as best as she could with the sun right in our faces. Now I have beautiful pictures with squinting eyes because of the sun. I'm highly dissatisfied with the service I received from such a "repeatable" company. Yes, they had everything ready to go, which I appreciated, but when you are over a thousand miles away communication is key. I'm very upset I did not receive my sunset wedding as that was a super important piece to my special day. Beware you're on their time table and you get what you pay for. read more

My wife and I were beyond thrilled with our experience. We were married in Siesta Key on 7/9/2019 by Yesenia and photographed by Robin. The weather was nasty and rainy all day and we were concerned that the simple beach wedding we were looking forward to would need to be held indoors at our Plan B site. Yesenia remained optimistic and didn't give up on us! She could have easily made the call that the weather was not going to cooperate and saved herself the trip out considering the torrential downpours that had been occurring for 90% of the day. Instead she packed up her vehicle, headed out to the site, and kept us updated on the weather and outlook for our evening wedding. Yesenia advised us there looked to be a window in which the weather could be clearing and that if we still wanted to be married on the beach, that we could do it when the weather cleared, whether that was before or after our time slot. She went above and beyond to accommodate us and to give us what we wanted! The weather did break as soon as we got to Siesta Key and we were able to be married without another raindrop falling. The photographer they chose for us was excellent and just as optimistic and accommodating as Yesenia. Choosing to use this company for our wedding was really one of the best decisions we could have made and we are very thankful for Yesenia and Robin for the beautiful memories we will have of that day! read more

I loved it..look at the website and the pics and prices speak for themselves. They are very prompt and soooo nice. It felt as if they were friends. The pictures received look so much nicer than I expected. All our friends say it looks like we spent thousands on the wedding. Look them up for your wedding in Florida and you will be as happy as we are. Thank you Nancy and Jeff...glad you shared a toast with us!!! read more

Don't waste your time or money on these disrespectful, inconsiderate people. They cancelled my military daughters wedding and then refused to refund. All the while knowing that both the bride and groom were military and there was no way possible to re-schedule their destination wedding. They will take your money and you won't receive a damn bit of service from them. I could go on an on, but you are taking a gamble with these people, I lost that gamble. They won and kept our money! read more

I booked with affordable beach wedding as soon as I knew my wedding date, and I found out they had an opening that day. They get busy so make sure you get all of your paperwork faxed to them or you'll lose your spot. It came out beautifully, our pictures are just ",picture perfect" from our wedding. Susie was the one who came to wed us at the beach. All props are included even the bouquet. (Which was great bc I ran out of time to get one made for myself). Susie truly is a photographer first. I let her take over, I was fully confident in her process, and sure enough- they came out wonderful. You only get one hour time slot, but for us, I didn't want anymore than that (I don't recommend a mid-day wedding in the middle of summer on the beach, try morning or evening for sure). But over all, I'm very satisfied with the outcome. Thanks so much Susie for taking great photos. read more

Thank God for Pastor Armando, he is the back bone of Affordable Beach Wedding. If it was up to Nancy Muro (president, CEO) there would be NO Affordable Beach Wedding. She was short, impatience, crass and NOT once made the Bride-to-Be feel like it was a pleasure in assisting to make their wedding day special. None the less my wedding did turn out perfect!!! And again it was ALL due to Pastor Mandy!!!! Honestly, I would not recommend Affordable Beach Wedding because Personality & People skills is a MUST in this business and they LACK IT!!! read more

The owner Nancy Muro required full payment 2 weeks in advance of our wedding and 6 days before the wedding still didn't have our wedding site in place. When our concerns were expressed she only told us how many other people wanted our date and she would refund our money instead of resolving the wedding site. We had to file a dispute just to get the refund. Stay away! read more

I would not recommend the service and regret having done my wedding with the company. You get what you pay for. You can never get someone to answer your call, only correspondence I had was via txt msg or email which should have been a red flag. I got to the place where I was told and had to walk another half mile only to find there were 2 other weddings at the same time right next to mine and they set me up in the SUN. The box I sent with favors, water and fans for my guests were left in the BOX and my husband told that was not allowed. The boom box to play music not allowed either. I absolutely hate my photos, they don't look professional at all. As a matter of fact I had to pay a photographer to retake photos. Susie who was the only one to contact me was supposed to be the officiant turned out to be the photographer. I wish there was more attention to detail, and compassion from the owners after all this is a once in a lifetime event, I can't "re do" my wedding/ my day and it's sad how bad I feel about the whole experience. Look for someone who will actually talk to you, and listen to what you want and help you thru the process. My day was ruined and I cry every time I remember how awful it was ! Please don't contract these people. read more
