If you are thinking about having a wedding in Key West, FL and are looking for a wedding officiant, Steve Torrence is your guy. I'm not sure where to start but he is highly recommended all over town and after our wedding, we figured out why.
First, you can contact him any time through email or phone and he will get back to you asap. Steve is the nicest man you will ever meet and is genuinely into your wedding from start to finish. He is also one of the lowest costing wedding officiant in Key West, I think he really enjoys what he does and doesn't want to raise the price.
Here is what we did:
We spoke to Key West Cakes about getting a cake for our wedding. The lady there used to be in the wedding planning business down there and knew just about everyone, especially the venues and people to avoid. Anyway, she recommended Steve to us so we decided to inquire.
We contacted Steve a few months before our wedding, told him we wanted him be our officiant. He responded back and told us that he will mark us on the calendar and when we get in town, give him a call to meet up and discuss what route we wanted to go.
When we arrived we contacted him and he said he would come to us which was nice because we had a million things to do and had limited time.
He met us at the Hyatt Key West Resort and Spa and he was the funniest and nicest guy you could ever imagine. Since we were worried about rain, he had his church on standby incase we needed to use it. That was an added bonus! He asked us what we'd like him wear, a suit, a officiant gard, ect. He chose the garb because it made the pictures look neat. He told us everything we needed to know and to remember to breathe. You can even to a butterfly release if you want.
On wedding day, he was early, came prepared, and calmed our nerves a bit. The wedding went better than planned at Fort Zachary Taylor Park/Beach and the rest is history.
He signed our papers and we received our official license in the mail a few weeks later. Steve was the best and we are glad he was part of our special day!
FYI - Megan of MEC Images was our wedding photographer and can be found in Key West as well. Megan and Steve have been doing wedding together for years and this really helps because they work great together. read more
