Austin Area Weddings

Working with James was hands-down one of the best parts of our whole wedding. From the very first time we spoke, he was just so easy to talk to and instantly made us feel like family. James didn't just officiate our ceremony—he helped coordinate the day and made the whole experience completely stress-free.
He is a truly caring guy who listens to every single request and actually makes it happen. He made our wedding day the most magical day ever, and there is no officiant in the world we would’ve rather had. We highly recommend him to anyone getting married! Honestly, we’re so happy to be married, but we're seriously going to miss just chatting and catching up with James because he is an all-around awesome human being.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Reverend James Simmons! From our very first meeting, he made us feel seen, heard, and truly cared for. He took the time to get to know us, guided us through the preparation with such grace and patience, and made sure our ceremony was a genuine reflection of our faith and our love for one another.

On our wedding day, Reverend James delivered every word with warmth, intention, and so much heart. His presence set the tone for the entire ceremony — peaceful, joyful, and deeply meaningful. He spoke beautifully and fully poured himself into making our day special.

If you are looking for an officiant who will treat your ceremony as the sacred, once-in-a-lifetime moment it truly is, look no further. Reverend James Simmons is an absolute blessing, and we are so grateful he was a part of the beginning of our marriage. Highly, highly recommend!
Thank you, Reverend James!

James was absolutely amazing! From our very first conversation, he made us feel comfortable and confident that we were in great hands. He is kind, funny, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. His passion for what he does truly shines through, and it made such a difference throughout the entire process.

Planning a wedding can be stressful, but James made everything feel easy and enjoyable. He offered wonderful ideas, guided us every step of the way, and created a ceremony that felt personal, meaningful, and memorable. We received so many compliments from our guests about how special the ceremony was.

If you’re looking for a wedding officiant who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond, James is the perfect choice. We are so grateful to have found him and would recommend him without hesitation!

Reverend James simmons did a wonderful job officiating our services and was so nice and personable. You can definitely tell he loves what he does! Would absolutely recommend him!

We nailed it when we chose Rev. Simmons to officiate our wedding. He was attentive, cheerful, available, and made us feel very special. He catered the ceremony to our specific choices (he does have choices to select from if you are unsure). Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t be happier. You will not go wrong choosing Rev. Simmons to be a part of your special day.

James did an outstanding job as the officiant for our wedding. His communication and helping us with preparation for the ceremony really made our lives much easier with all the other things we needed to plan. His demeanor and enthusiasm added a special energy to our ceremony. He even took a few pictures for us so our photographer who was a family member could be in some group shots!

Rev James married my husband and I at Chapel Dulcinea and couldn't be happier the way things went. He spent time with us before the wedding getting to know us and what would make a good fit for us for our ceremony. His personality and comfortability with him stood out from the very beginning! He was very accommodating with our visions. We came into the Austin area for the wedding and the day of our wedding was the first time meeting him in person. He made the cermony even more special than I envisioned. His love for what he does shined effortlessly. There was meaning in the way he spoke and lightheartedness with appropriate jokes and laughter. I would highly recommend meeting with him if you are getting married and would recommend Rev James to anyone. Truly enjoyed having him as part of our special day!!

James officiated our wedding on 5/9/26 at Chapel Dulcinea. If you want your wedding day to be completely seamless, stress-free, and full of incredible energy, do yourself a favor and hire James.
We planned our wedding in just two months, and James was hands-down the best decision we made. Not only did he work with us to meet our budget and financial needs perfectly, but he did so while genuinely caring about us as people. We never felt like just another booking to him; he was fully invested in our story and peace of mind.
He is the ultimate professional who truly understands what a couple (and an anxious bride, lol!) needs. From a detailed initial Zoom call to guiding us through the venue in person, he was there every step of the way. A week before the big day, he even walked me through everything one more time just to put my mind at ease.
James's energy and personality are completely contagious-our family and friends are still talking about how wonderful he was. Between his officiating and his team's incredible event coordination and music, our day at Chapel Dulcinea simply would not have been the same without him. Thank you, James, for being such a pivotal part of our forever! -Morgan and Hayden Fontenot

He made our wedding day extra special with his attention to detail, joyful attitude and funny humor. He was absolutely brilliant and a joy to work with.

Hiring James Simmions was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From our first conversation, he took the time to truly get to know us and craft a ceremony that felt completely like 'us'! He was incredibly communicative, kept us calm at the altar, yet knew exactly when to throw a joke in or make us laugh. Our guests mentioned about how beautiful and heartfelt, yet funny the ceremony was! Highly recommend!
