    If you're looking for a place for immediate family and friends at an affordable price than this is it ! Our guests are still telling us how beautiful our wedding was! The minister performed such a beautiful ceremony as we stood under a huge cypress tree on a heart shaped rock. So romantic! It is on the riverwalk but the people around us were Rey respectful and the boat that passed cheered us on! We really didn't even know that there were others around! Our wedding was just two weeks ago but it wasn't too terribly hot. We got married at 6 pm so I would recommend doing it in the evening. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding!

    Marriage island and the staff that we dealt with from beginning to end was absolutely amazing!!! We had a unfortunate situation with a previous vendor and were forced to literally change locations offecients and photographers in a 4 day time frame....complete nightmare situation but marriage island team did it!!! They took care of everything and made our small intimate ceremony feel just as special as million dollar affair. They listened to what we wanted and needed and gave us exactly that they didn't try to upsale our package with additions they knew we didn't need....I wouldn't change anything about the ceremony or what they did for us.....the efficient they scheduled for us was great and photographer was superb !!!!!

    The Ministry at San Antonio's reply:

    Thank you so much! We're thrilled for the both of you and happy we could help!! Best wishes for many happy years as you start your life together...Cheers!

    This company/venue is amazing! My wedding was set up for Marriage Island and it was beautiful! Our officiant William called me 20 minutes prior to the wedding asking if we were about ready! I told him we had a family emergency that morning and the men were getting ready to come down. Our wedding went amazing and William was the perfect person to do our wedding! I would recommend this venue to anyone!

    Shaunda coordinated our wedding on marriage island in San Antonio. She was very organized and helped us get everything done in a limited amount of time. Even without a rehersal, everything went smoothly and stress-free. Jim, our photographer was great. Our photos were taken at night outside. He was prepared for that and was able to take great photos regardless.

    I would definitely recommend The Ministry at San Antonio Marriage Island. They were very easy to work. We had asked for religious style ceremony and it was perfect. Our wedding vows were beautiful.

    We would like to thank Marriage Island for everything they did for our special day. We would not have had it any other way. It was perfect. I recommend anyone who wants a small ceremony use Marriage Island. -Erika and Chris Krigar

    Our experience with William and Shaunda is a memory that we will cherish. From the 1st day that arrangements were made, up until the 'special' day - Shaunda made everything come together. She offered assistance, followed through and made sure that all requests were fulfilled along with providing valuable information, as this was a destination wedding. If it was not for Shaunda, we could not have had the wedding that we had dreamed of. Even though our 'special' day was during hurricane season, William and Shaunda went out of their way to ensure that our wedding would be magical. During the effects of this storm, they made sure that our marriage license would be filed with the county/state prior to close of business (Friday evening wedding). Rain/Shine or hurricane would not prevent them from making our day the best day ever! Every wish, every desire was met! We could not be more appreciative or honored to have had the opportunity to have worked with them. They truly are our HERO's.

    Shaunda and Pastor Sanders were great. Shaunda made sure we were comfortable and was there in case we had any questions. Pastor Sanders performed a great ceremony. We couldn't have been happier with your service. Thanks!

    Shawnda put together a beautiful ceremony in two days!! The flowers were beautiful, my dinner reservations for the wedding party was taken care of and the pastor was awesome! I was incredibly stressed and she took it all off of me and made my day one I will never forget. I would suggest this company to anyone and the venue was beautiful!

    We found this officiant through wedding wire and the lady that we spoke with to book an officiant was very helpful and informative. In just getting married for the first time, we had no clue about timelines and what to expect. We did not feel a need for a rehearsal, so we met the officiant for the first time before the ceremony. He showed up on time, was professionally dressed, and most of all was calm. I felt like I was so nervous and falling apart and to have someone who was patient and willing to walk us through everything was very helpful. I would definitely recommend using the Ministry.

    Website is very informative making our day feel familiar even though we did not have a rehearsal. Our Reverend was very professional, dressed very nicely and was very friendly. The communication was great even from the very beginning. I would highly recommend!

    I got married on July 4th and it was the most beautiful. It was wonderfully perfect and ended up being very much a fairy tale wedding. I highly recommend this destination for anyone seeking to get married in San Antonio!

    Darin Watson came to the rescue when our original officiant had fallen through. Luckily we had some time to figure something before our wedding. The only thing I would say that gave me some doubt was that we never really got to speak or meet our officiant before our wedding. We met him only about an hour before the ceremony! BUT...the times we did speak, he was very freindly, assuring and gave me confidence that everything would work. We were able to work with each other on a script and when I had special request for the ceremony, he was more than willing to work with me.

    The ceremony turned out perfect! He was very well spoken, had a sense of humor when something funny happened and was very friendly and very positive. I was very happy in the end and couldn't complain about one thing. The price was great and Darin was great! I would definitely recommend Ministry at San Antonio for your officiant needs!

    Once we upgraded to full event planning everything went very smoothly and the coordinator has great recommendations and experience with San Antonio Riverwalk Weddings.

    Great Wedding service here! I was a little worried about the amount of family and friends i was told I could have here and the staff seemed pretty adamant about the headcount. Definitely not something to concern the bride with. Also they should have mentioned that the address to give on the invitations was the Hotel. I don't think they communicated everything the way it should have been. other than that the day was beautiful and minister was very polite.
