What the venue publishes
Wedding/Ceremony reservation fee: $100 for a 4-hour beach ceremony block, capacity up to 149 guests, at each of four named beach venues: Avalon Street, Rockaway Street, Second Street, and Barefoot Beach House. All ceremonies take place in the sand.
The source publishes $100 as the fee for this space, not a starting point.
The fee above is the one published in the city's own online reservation system. A fifth location, Opal Sands, is listed as price on request rather than the published $100 fee.

The online EMarriage Application is a prerequisite and must be completed before the license is issued; it can also be filled out on a public terminal in the office. The application sits in the Clerk's queue for only 30 days, so both parties must appear within that window. Services are offered at the Clearwater Courthouse, the St. Petersburg Branch at 545 First Avenue North, and the North County Branch. Both parties must sign the Statement of Family Law Handbook. One certified copy of the recorded license is free; additional copies are $3.00 each. The Clerk's office runs an annual Halloween themed ceremony event it calls Scare-amonies.
