Every market has a floor, and in Florida weddings it's in Jacksonville. Rainbow Wedding Chapel publishes an Express Ceremony from $100 on weekdays, $150 on Saturdays — and tiers above it named, sensibly, MICRO (2–10 guests, $150 weekday / $200 Saturday), MINI (11–20) and SMALL (21–40), inside a published range that tops out at $500.
| Package | Published price |
|---|---|
| Express Ceremony — Mon–Fri / Saturday | $100 / $150 |
| MICRO — 2–10 guests, weekday / Saturday | $150 / $200 |
| MINI — 11–20 guests | within the $100–$500 range |
| SMALL — 21–40 guests | within the $100–$500 range |
$100, in context
Context matters for appreciating that $100. The marriage license alone costs $86. A clerk-of-court ceremony adds $30. So the state's own cheapest path to married runs about $116 — and this chapel will marry you, in a chapel, for less than the courthouse route costs. Whatever else is true of the experience, the pricing is honest about what it is: a ceremony, swiftly and kindly done, for people whose priorities are elsewhere.

Who should book it — and who shouldn’t
Who should book it: couples eloping on a weekday who want a real room and a real officiant rather than a courthouse hallway, and anyone whose budget for the ceremony is deliberately tiny because the money is going to dinner, a honeymoon, or rent. Who shouldn't: anyone expecting the $100 tier to include photography, décor or time to linger. Ask what's in each tier — the chapel publishes its structure clearly enough that I expect straight answers.
Questions people ask about this one
What does the $100 Express Ceremony actually include?
A ceremony at the chapel on a weekday, at the chapel's quickest format. Photography, extra guests and trimmings live in the higher tiers — the MICRO tier at $150 covers 2–10 guests.
Do I need the marriage license before I come?
Yes. Only the Clerk of Court can issue it — $86, or $61 with a premarital course — and Florida residents without the course must wait 3 days for it to take effect. See our cost guide for the walkthrough.
Can we marry on a Saturday for $100?
No — the published Saturday price for the Express is $150, and the MICRO tier is $200 on Saturdays. Still, by Florida standards, remarkably little.
