Premarital Course FAQ (Florida & Texas)

Is this premarital course court-approved?
Yes. Cadenza Counseling is an official registered provider with Florida County Clerks statewide and is an approved provider for the Twogether in Texas program. Your completion certificate is fully recognized by your local courthouse.
How long does the online premarital course take?
Florida state law requires the curriculum to be 4 hours long, while Texas law requires an 8-hour course. However, our courses are 100% online and self-paced. You can start and stop as needed, completing the material over a weekend or a few evenings without losing your progress.
Do we have to be state residents to take the course?
No! For example, if you are planning a destination wedding in Florida but live out-of-state, taking our course still legally qualifies you for the $25 marriage license discount, even if the 3-day waiting period doesn’t apply to you.
How much is a marriage license in Florida if you take the course?
The standard fee for a Florida marriage license is $86.00. If you complete a state-approved premarital course, the fee is reduced by $25.00, bringing the final cost to exactly $61.00 at the courthouse.
Do I have to print my Twogether in Texas certificate?
Yes. Texas County Clerks require a physical, printed copy of your official Twogether in Texas Certificate of Completion. Showing a digital copy on your smartphone will likely be rejected. You can easily print the PDF we provide immediately upon completing the course.
