    It was perfect

    Gary was absolutely great to have officiate our wedding. We were sold on his personality and fit-to-your wants and needs ceremony speech. He made it fun and stress free. He was also a great guide in making the ceremony personal and special for me and my wife. It was great to have Gary be the one to marry us at our wedding!

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    Congratulations! We're so glad Gary was able to bring it all together for you and make your wedding ceremony so personal, thanks for the kind words!

    Gary Motal

    Gary was a hit. We had multiple guests come up to us after the ceremony to commend his style and delivery. He is also very sweet and professional.

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    Gary loves what he does and it's obvious! Isn't it wonderful when this stressful part of your wedding day goes so smoothly?!
    Thanks for the kind words and CONGRATULATIONS!!

    Book them!

    Short and Sweet was amazing! Super easy to book and price was very reasonable! Our officiant Shelly was perfect - just one meeting with her and she nailed the type of ceremony we were going for! She included a beer-blending ceremony that was a favorite amongst our guests. We received so many compliments on her, people thought she had known us for years! 10/10 wound recommend!

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    Aww, thanks, what kind words! I loved your beer-blending during the ceremony, it was so 'YOU', I thought it was perfect! Congratulations & hugs for many years! ~Shelly

    The perfect wedding officiant!

    Gary Motal was an absolutely wonderful wedding officiant! He was extremely available, communicative, and attentive to detail throughout the entire process which made us feel so comfortable, confident, and stress-free. He showed up early to the ceremony to make sure everything was in order and helped in any way that he could. My only regret is that I did not get to spend more time with him since I was caught up in the moment of the beautiful ceremony and wedding! I highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for a wedding officiant to help make your special day even more magical.

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    Gary Motal IS AMAZING and we're so glad he made your special day so sweet! Thanks for the kind words & CONGRATULATIONS!

    The BEST experience!

    Shelly with Short and Sweet Weddings was absolutely a DREAM to work with. From the moment we contacted them about officiating, they were responsive, kind, and informative. When we met with Shelly, she was so lovely and spent some time getting to know us. When we got our script, I was in tears almost instantly! It was so personal and meaningful to my now husband and I. We couldn't have been more pleased with how it turned out. During the wedding day, she checked in with us right away to finalize some last minute changes. SO many guests came up to me at the cocktail hour and reception and raved about how AMAZING Shelly was. I am still getting calls about her! She is truly a talented person and you can fully trust her. From the bottom of my heart, I highly recommend Shelly and Short and Sweet Weddings!!!

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    It's obvious Shelly loves what she does and loves people, she takes every detail into account! She shared the story with our team about connecting with your grandmother & the extra effort to make sure she could see you walk down the aisle, how sweet! Thanks for the kind words and CONGRATULATIONS!

    Personalized and convenient

    Not only did they listen to everything I pictured to be said, they respected our values of not being religious and running a beautiful ceremony. They were very personalize vowels that were said, along with lots of one on one practice to help me feel comfortable with stage fright.

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    You did amazing! And what a perfect ceremony that included your son, thanks for the kind words. I do my best to make sure your wedding day is the BEST day! ~Shelly

    Professional & Amazing

    Jackie was the officiant for our wedding. She was timely, professional, knew all of her cues, and helped us have the wedding of our dreams. She was amazing, I would HIGHLY recommend working with Short & Sweet Weddings!

    Shelly was absolutely wonderful to work with! From our initial phone call we knew she was passionate and cared about getting to know us, and making our wedding special! We loved getting to work with her and highly recommend Shelly and her staff and Short and Sweet Weddings!

    Personable and Trustworthy

    My husband and I had an awesome experience using Short and Sweet Weddings for our Dripping Springs wedding. We are from out of state and we had initially been concerned that our ceremony may not feel super personal to us since we weren’t bringing an officiant from home. This was absolutely not the case with Gary Motal- from the moment we met him he made us feel super comfortable and incorporated elements into our ceremony that felt truly personal. He wrote a beautiful ceremony for us and also offered us valuable advice for several questions that came up during the planning process.

    Our entire experience working with Short and Sweet Weddings was pleasant and we knew we could trust Gary throughout the whole process.

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    YAAAY, Congratulations!
    Gary is obviously passionate about the two of you and this magical moment. He does a fabulous job of delivering a ceremony that "sounds like you". He's wonderful!

    Exceptional

    Gary was so easy to work with, even with our random schedule. It would be our pleasure to recommend Gary. He was exceptional.

    Great words for a great officiant! Gary obviously loves weddings and people, we're so glad he could make your special day all that much more special... despite random schedules!

    Amazing Ceremony

    Gary Motal was fantastic! He was very flexible with changes. There were things we wanted to add and adjust to the original ceremony layout that Gary showed us. He was also open to trying the handfasting ceremony, even though it was not something that he typically does. It all worked out and went very well. It was perfect for me and my husband. We highly recommend him!

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    Gary wants you to love the words & actions in your ceremony, so changing things JUST FOR YOU is exactly what he'll do! So glad everything was wonderful!

    The Best Wedding Officiant

    Shelly was truly the most amazing wedding officiant we could have asked for. She is kind and caring, and made sure our wedding ceremony was personalized to us and was exactly what we wanted. The ceremony was short and sweet, and everything was perfect. From meeting beforehand so she could get to know us, to coming to our rehearsal and making sure everything was in place for the wedding. We had many guests tell us how beautiful the ceremony was, and how moving her words were. I would tell any couple who is thinking about hiring Short and Sweet Weddings to definitely do so.

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    Thank you! One of the best parts about my *job* is getting to personalize my words for each couple. Researching Renaissance Poetry so I could recite a meaningful poem for you & George was a beautiful challenge, I hope you loved it as much as I did! Congratulations & remember to hug often! ~Shelly

    Beautiful & Memorable

    We selected David Tropea from Short and Sweet Weddings and what a blessing it was to have him as our wedding officiant. David took the time to have an initial call and then physically met with us about a month before our wedding. A meeting that was supposed to be 30 minutes lasted into 3 hours of great conversations and getting to genuinely know each other. This was truly a memorable experience along with our wedding day, where David Tropea vividly exclaimed our love in such a beautiful and powerful manner through his words. David, we are very thankful to have met you! Thank you for everything.

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    What a GREAT testimony to David's amazing personality, genuine disposition, and love of people! He's definitely gifted at turning emotion into words and his ceremonies are awesome! Congratulations and thanks for the kind words!

    Sentimental ceremony

    Gary officiated our wedding and performed a lovely and sentimental ceremony. He took the time to call and get to know my husband and I, learn about our story and bring it all together into a beautiful ceremony. We couldn’t be happier to have had Gary as our wedding officiant!

    Exactly what you want for your ceremony!

    Wow - I cannot say enough amazing things about David and the team here. We knew we did not want our ceremony to be long or drawn out and honestly I was at first a little worried about hiring someone who had never met us but when I tell you that the moment we met David I knew we were in good hands and it was going to be perfect. And honestly... it was. He took the time to meet with us before the ceremony at a café, sent over the ceremony script he had for our approval and even threw in a couple "curveballs" (he'll get that joke) that weren't in there that made it all the more special hearing them for the first time. The professionalism that he has is what you want for your wedding. The ceremony is such an important part that even if you are looking for something "short and sweet", you will want to make sure it is done right. Make sure to hire him and you will not be disappointed!

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    What a great testimony! David is absolutely fantastic with just-the-right-amount of charm, compassion, and professionalism to be a GREAT wedding Officiant!
    Congratulations and Cheers!

    Best Officiant Ever!!

    I found this company through my wedding planner, blue moon events Texas! Shelly was our officiant for our day & she was amazing! Meeting with her made me think about certain things I wanted and appreciate her creativeness. She was so kind and very responsive when I had questions!

    The company S&S is also affordable compared to most that I looked at! Higher these people to take care of you! They’re seriously the best!

    Thanks for the sweet words about Shelly! She definitely works hard to think of all the details to make sure your wedding ceremony is amazing. Creative is her middle name! lol

    Easy to work with!

    We had Cheryl officiate our wedding. Cheryl is an absolute dream! We also added on pre-marital counseling classes with her so we were able to really get to know each other before the wedding. Cheryl is one of the sweetest people and also brings some humor to the ceremony. Everyone told us how much they liked our officiant! She makes the process incredibly easy and I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you, Cheryl!

    Awesome job, Gary!

    Gary was our officiant and was fantastic. He understood what we wanted and asked perfectly, and was a great help along the way with getting the marriage license figured out as well. Made the whole process very easy, but comfortable. We never felt rushed, but definitely felt like his attention was on us. I would definitely recommend their services!

    Short and Sweet Weddings's reply:

    Maybe we should add the word "easy" to short and sweet?! We're so glad Gary gave you the attention you deserve, you ARE the bride & groom and this is YOUR day! Congrats and thanks for the sweet words, Gary is amazing!
