    The best we could had ever imagined

    The Honorable Jim Schweitzer was the first name in the list the Galveston County clerk gave us. He was the best from the first contact. Kind and friendly assured us that he had our "just us" wedding was covered. He suggested the venue: the lovely garden of Kempner Park, with option to do it at the Courthouse if we got a rainy day. He offered to take our wedding pics and he did wonderfully. His experience performing thousands of ceremonies allows him to adjust each to the couple´s personality. Hon. Schweitzer took all the stress about planning away. It was a brief but wholesome and meaningful ceremony.

    Your Honor: thank you so much for celebrating our marriage the way you did. The words you had us pledge to each other were powerful. Words to live by, grow from and smooth rough spots. We aim to live by them until the end of our earthly lives. Were you willing to share them in writing we would certainly cherish them.
    Thank you so very much!

    Justice of Peace Jim Schweitzer's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words. I don't have the words in writing - just as every couple is different I say different things to them.
    I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Eve.
    Jim

    Love Judge Jim Schweitzer - Thank You!

    Jude Schweitzer is the BEST! After several great conversations with him over the phone, my wife and I love the personal touches and some of the humor and sincerity he brought to our ceremony. Thank you for an incredible day! - Kelci and Joseph Z.

    Hiring Jim was the best choice I made for my wedding!

    Jim was so responsive, helpful, and flexible helping my wife and I with our ceremony. He made the entire booking experience a breeze and took a huge weight off our shoulders. He said beautiful and kind words during our ceremony and I would recommend anyone hire him.

    Fabulous gentleman

    I arranged our renewal of vows on the beach from Scotland as a surprise for my husband. Jim was fantastic in every respect. Such a natural people person, reassuring and so kind with the kids.
    We have become life long friends from across the Atlantic and I have seen him since. Best decision I ever made booking him! Pics on hubby’s phone this was the dress I picked but got a different one for on the beach. Fabulous day totally recommend Jim. Kindest guy ever.

    JP Schweitzer was a great officiant and was so responsive, flexible, and easy going during our wedding which had quite a few challenges due to COVID and the winter storm. We highly recommend his services!

    Touching and light hearted ceremony

    Judge Schweitzer was a hoot to work with. He was a joy to talk to every step of the way and officiated a touching and light hearted ceremony. He was prepared, but also able to adapt to my sudden spat of joyful tears. He definitely added to the joy of my special day. Thanks Jim!

    Jim was absolutely the best we could have asked for.
    We had a small beach wedding. Our wedding was scheduled just the 2 of us, we did have our 3 kids with us. Jim took the time and really included our 3 kids and made them a huge part of our wedding and that, we will never forget.
    We laughed,felt very comfortable, had an amazing beach ceremony. My now wife ,really wanted sunset, Jim worked with us 100% and was very very accommodating.
    Jim met with me on the beach a few minutes prior to our scheduled time, made himself feel like a friend, not just too me but my now wife and our kids.
    Thank you Jim for your time, your help and everything you did to make our wedding as amazing as it was !
    My wife and our kids really enjoyed having you.

    JP Schwieitzer was absolutely awesome. I was looking to do a vow renewal before My wife and I got on a 7 night cruise for our 20 year anniversary. As I was unfamiliar with Galveston and simply wanted A sea wall Jetty I ask him for help and he knew just the spot. I have officiated several weddings my self and Hon. Schweitzer knocked it out of the park.

    This was just 2 weeks after Harvey and he made sure that we knew he was there and ready. The ceremony was amazing. His words were warm and comforting.

    We had not planned for anything except us on the rocks, but with the tourism trough after the hurricane, a crowd gathered and there was music and dancing. It was a magical kind of day.

    Jim, did an outstanding and amazing job. Even when me and my significant other felt nervous, his professionalism helped put at that ease, he always had a smile on face, he was very knowledgeable and most of all he made me and my fiancee now my wife the happiest couple. I would recommend to anyone to use Jim. Again he did an outstanding job.

    Jim was fantastic! To be honest we didn't really give him any direction at all. Just told him the approximate length of the ceremony that we wanted and he did the rest. He was relaxed, funny, and touching. I felt totally at ease and many people told me how much they liked him after the ceremony. If you are wanting a non-religious ceremony in the Galveston area then the Honorable Jim Schweitzer is definitely your man!

    Jim was fantastic for our wedding ceremony. We wanted it to be fun and relaxed and he fit the bill. He really made us both relaxed and calm during the ceremony and the guests kept talking about what a great ceremony it was and how funny and warm he made it. Can't thank him enough!

    I could always count on an e-mail back within hours. I asked him a million questions and changed my wedding date 2-3 times and not once did he become unpleasant. I felt comfortable booking him even though I didn't meet him till my wedding day. Me and my fiance had planned an elopement and didn't bring a photographer, but he took charge and recorded our ceremony with my camera and even took a couple pictures afterward. I cannot recommend him enough!! You will not be disappointed. Thanks to him my mother in Wisconsin was able to watch the video he took of our ceremony and I got to see her reaction on Skype when she watched it, he could not have made our day any better.

    We wanted a civil ceremony and his was thoughtful and personal. It was wonderful to be able to be married on a holiday (Veteran's Day 11-11-11) so his flexibility was definitely appreciated.

    I think that Judge Schweitzer performed an excellent ceremony at our wedding. It was short and sweet (15mins) and funny. I recieved lots of compliments on him after the ceremony. I would recommend him to other couples.
