Valentine’s Day Group Wedding Ceremony

Angelina Colonneso, Manatee County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, invites couples to a special event to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

The planned event will consist of a single group ceremony that will unite all couples in attendance and will be performed by Clerk Angel Colonneso herself. The couples and their guests will celebrate with refreshments and cake which will be provided at the end of the ceremony.

The ceremony will take place at 2:00 pm in the Gazebo on the front lawn of the Manatee County Historic Courthouse located at 1115 Manatee Ave West in Bradenton, Florida. Couples will receive a printed photo and a special Certificate of Marriage commemorating the special day. The certificates will be given at the end of the ceremony.
