About Us
Michelle Carter - Owner. Michelle was born and raised in Fort Pierce and comes from a long line of family born and raise on the Treasure Coast. She has been a Notary Public in the state of Florida since 1988 and has been performing ceremonies since 1990. She has also been an ordained wedding minister since 2011 and is a certified wedding planner by the American Academy of Wedding Professionals. Prior to opening Affordable Swarayz in 2011, Michelle owned "Notary Services and Officiating by Michelle".
Affordable Swarayz is proud to be part of several non-profit organizations like the wedding wish granting organization called Wish Upon A Wedding, where we volunteer our services for brides or grooms who are terminally ill. We also volunteer/donate/assist with Voices for Children, Grace Way Village - Butterfly Kisses, Learn to Read SLC, St Lucie PAL and others.
Michelle performed her first wedding ceremony in 1990 and that's all it took for her to know that she wanted to continue the honor and privilege of joining couples in marriage.
For many years she worked with people to coordinate and plan events and decided to turn her passion into a business. "I do this because I love helping people make that one day exactly what they want it to be. I am constantly researching wedding trends and I am very organized, detailed, easy going, budget minded and professional. I have the ability to stay calm in any situation, to understand my clients needs and I love to stay busy". In 2019, Michelle decided to expand the business, and added even more event rentals and made Affordable Swarayz a true "One stop shop". Michelle also worked in healthcare for over 20 years so she has spent a great deal of her life doing what she loves, helping people.
At Affordable Swarayz, we can give you basic tools and information to help you create your event on your own or we can plan, create and carry out the entire event for you, or anything in between. It is always your choice.
Our goal as a wedding planner is to help couples create the wedding of their dreams, having a stress-free planning experience from the day the planning starts to when they drive away from their reception. This one special day is about the bride and groom and their dream. As a wedding officiant, there is no greater honor than to be able to pronounce you husband and wife.
Our goal as a event planner is to create memories that will not soon be forgotten. You may choose one of our wedding or party packages or we can custom create one just for you. Why pay for services that you may not need. We will listen to your dream, use our expertise and resources, and develop a proposal specifically for you.
