My daughter got married at Mt Dora 2 and a half years ago and it was lovely.
We used the Darst Victorian Manor grounds and then went to the Garden Gate for a special lunch. It was a really magical day and so inexpensive.
You only need your passport for to get the licence. My daughter bought a beautiful full length dress for about £80 in Orlando-it was a white with a pale pink underskirt and she shimmered like a princess.
We also had a beautiful hot day -never guaranteed in Britain.
If you just want a small peaceful wedding I can well recommend it.
The cake was made to her design at Publix-was about £30 and she picked her flowers up the night before from the florists in Kissimmee and left them in the fridge overnight -they lasted a week after that.
The photographer was a local chap in Mt Dora who just charged us for an hour of his time.
If you decide to get married in Clearwater -I'm sure the people at The Clearwater Beach hotel would be able to advise you.
The Leu Gardens are very nice and also Cypress Gardens have re-opened and they have a lovely white gazebo in tranquil setting. My daughter wanted to get married there but it then meant travelling for nearly 2 hours for the reception at Mt Dora.
Unlike Britain-it's the person (notary) who has the licence-which means you can get married wherever you want (within in reason)
