Wedding FAQs
When should i book a wedding officiate?
A marriage can last a lifetime, but most weddings are planned over a long period of time. On average the planning begins roughly 6 months to a year in advance. It is best to secure your wedding officiate as soon as you have selected your venue for the big day. Or you can begin the selection process once you have settled on a date.
What if I don't want a big wedding?
So you want to begin your new lives together without all the "big-to-do", I can easily work with you to create an elegant and beautiful ceremony, even last minute. Just get your marriage license, I will officiate your union.
We have been living together for years and just want to make it legal. can you help?
Absolutely! You do not have to have a ceremony to have a legal marriage.
How do we get a marriage license?
You will need to contact the local County Clerks office. Texas marriage licenses are valid in any counties around Houston regardless of the issuing county.

are you willing to marry same sex couples?
ABSOLUTELY! I firmly believe love is not defined nor restricted by gender.
We're active in alternative lifestyles and want an unconventional ceremony. Would that be an issue?
All lifestyles are welcomed. I have performed several "non-mainstream" wedding ceremonies. Where there is love, I will happily and legally bind your union. There are more choices than just vanilla so bring on the sprinkles!
