We also offer bilingual officiants that can perform weddings in English or Spanish. Texas Wedding Ministers provides premarital counseling approved by Twogether in Texas but does not require couples to complete this course. We believe every couple is different, so we’ve created 10 ceremony scripts that can be customized to include a wide variety of rituals that will honor and reflect your relationship. Our team can also perform ceremony rehearsals, vow renewals, and provide coordination.

What to Expect

Head Minister and Concierge Reverend Rene Esparza, along with his team, will gather the details of your special day and send over a list of available officiants that fit your criteria, along with their profile and travel fees (if applicable). You can then schedule a FREE consultation with the officiants who stood out to find the perfect match.

Once you’ve decided on your minister of choice, reserve the officiant online with a $50 security deposit. This deposit is applied to the remaining balance which is due 30 days prior to the wedding date. Leading up to the ceremony, your officiant will be in contact to create a script that honors your love story. Texas Wedding Ministers always encourages rehearsals, although not required, so that couples feel comfortable and confident on their wedding day.

Why Us?

Texas Wedding Ministers offers a 100% no cancellation guarantee! Because we are a team, we keep one officiant on call in case of emergencies. They are armed with your ceremony script and wedding details so you can rest assured knowing your ceremony will be performed flawlessly. This is a benefit no private officiant can offer. We are the only vendor you can't get married without; therefore, we understand the importance of having a backup during such a special event.

Who Are Our Officiants?

Texas Wedding Ministers' officiants are all ordained ministers many of which are past or current clergy members. We also have Non-Denominational and Spiritual officiants for those couples not desiring a religious tone ceremony. Our officiants are dedicated to our couples! They work closely with other onsite vendors such as your photographer, videographer, and coordinator to create a beautiful ceremony you will always remember.

Happy Customer Review - Texas Wedding Ministers

Texas Wedding Ministers did a tremendous job officiating our wedding – we would give them six stars if we could.

Throughout the process, Texas Wedding Ministers put in significant effort to get to know us & our relationship on a personal level. They went out of their way to join us on both phone calls & video calls, while remaining quite responsive via email.

We customized our entire ceremony. Reverend Rene was a great sounding board for each iteration - he provided good ideas for our script and logistical flow while never imposing upon our vision.

The afternoon before our wedding, Rev Rene drove quite a long way to guide a successful rehearsal. His preparation and knowledge of us as a couple were fully evident. The next day (wedding day), Reverend Rene looked great in his vestments and showcased great situational awareness & logistical leadership. Again, Rev Rene’s preparation showed up in his poise and full command of the moment.

On the big day, Reverend Rene showcased his unique ability to stand center stage & hold the attention of our wedding party & guests without being overbearing. He had excellent delivery range, seamlessly mixing serious gravity with a great sense of humor. Yet despite the spotlight often being on him, Rev Rene always managed to keep the wedding centered on our vision & true to our values.

We highly highly recommend Texas Wedding Ministers based on our experience with Reverend Rene. Texas Wedding Ministers were professional, prepared, communicative, and supportive of our unique love story. While we can’t personally vouch for ministers we didn’t work with, we hope Reverend Rene’s vocational excellence shines through all of the individuals he hires (he’s the founder & owner of Texas Wedding Ministers).

Thank you Minister Joseph Devlin!

Minister Joseph Devlin stepped in and officiated our wedding after our original officiant had a last minute family emergency. Minister Devlin was amazing. He guided us and our family members and ensured our ceremony went better than we could have imagined. Could not recommend him enough. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

The Sanderson 10th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal

Minister Joseph Devlin was a perfect fit for our 10th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal. Our event was on New Year's Eve so I was very pleased that he was willing to be available for our ceremony. Minister Devlin was always quick to respond to my messages, as we sorted out all the details. The day of, he arrived early to go over everything and it went beautifully. Everything I hoped for and more! He put together a wonderful custom ceremony speech that was personalized to our story. This truly made the moment even more special to Dan and I. I highly recommend Minister Joseph Devlin for your ceremony, you will not be disappointed.

Dr. High - the most beautiful service.

Dr. High was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our very first meeting, her kindness, warmth and genuine compassion were immediately clear. We had shared our love story with her, yet I was not at all prepared for the way she brought it to life during our ceremony. She retold it with such care and such a natural understanding of who we are as a couple that it felt as though she had known us for years. Her words were thoughtful, heartfelt, and beautifully delivered...we were both truly overwhelmed and found ourselves moved to tears. It was one of the most touching moments of our entire wedding day, and we remain deeply grateful to her.

My experience with Texas weddings was really good!

From the moment we contacted Texas Wedding Ministers the experience was great. They were knowledgable and Courteous. The minister we had M. Telepak was awesome. He checked in with us before ceremony and remind us to bring the license ( we might have forgotten that). He was on time, very professional, spoke clearly and had an overall great personality. We really enjoyed him. We also were able to customize our vows which we really appreciated. I definitely recommend him.
