About

On WeddingWire since 2014

Texas Wedding Ministers is a professional team of wedding officiants servicing a large majority of Texas cities. Our ordained ministers are professional and experienced having performed a combined total of over 10,000 ceremonies. We offer customized wedding ceremonies that fit your unique style, personality, and beliefs. From retired Catholic Priests to Non-Denominational Ministers and Former Judges - Texas Wedding Ministers can provide the perfect officiant for your special day.

Areas Covered

Texas Wedding Ministers is based in San Antonio but has a team of ministers across most major cities in Texas. We currently service San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, El Paso, Midland, New Braunfels, Wimberly, Kyle-San Marcos, Dripping Springs-Driftwood, Fredericksburg, Killeen, Temple, Belton, Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Rio Grande Valley, and the surrounding areas.

Services Offered

Texas Wedding Ministers provides religious, non-religious, non-denominational, spiritual, secular, interfaith, same-sex, civil, and more wedding ceremony styles. 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!

We renewed our vows at the Tower of the Americas fountains and it was an awesome experience. Rev Esparza personalized the vows for us and he did a great job in making it special.

Rain or Shine, our officiant Paul was awesome

As we reflect on our special day, it's impossible not to highlight the incredible contribution of our wedding officiant. From the moment we met Paul, it was evident that they possessed a rare blend of professionalism, warmth, and charisma that set the tone for our ceremony.

Paul took the time to really get to know us as a couple, understanding our story, values, and the essence of our relationship. This personal touch was evident in every aspect of the ceremony, from the beautifully crafted script to the heartfelt anecdotes that resonated with us and our guests.

What truly set Paul apart was their ability to create a ceremony that felt uniquely ours. He seamlessly blended tradition with modernity, infusing the proceedings with just the right amount of humor, sincerity, and love. His words were not just spoken; they were felt, leaving an indelible mark on everyone present.

As the rain began to fall and our carefully planned outdoor ceremony faced delays, Paul remained calm and composed. He seamlessly adapted to the changing circumstances, while we transitioned our ceremony to an indoor setting.

Beyond his impeccable delivery, Paul demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned and executed. From coordinating with other vendors to guiding us through the legal aspects of the ceremony, they were a reliable and reassuring presence every step of the way.

Moreover, his calming demeanor and reassuring smile were a source of comfort amidst the inevitable nerves and emotions of the day. They exuded a sense of confidence and grace that put us at ease and allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment.

In the end, our wedding Paul wasn't just a presider over our ceremony; he was a master of ceremonies, orchestrating an event that will forever be etched in our hearts and memories. His dedication, passion, and genuine care for their craft shone through, making him an indispensable part of our special day. We are eternally grateful for his presence and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an officiant who is nothing short of amazing.

Happily Ever After!

We were new to the area when we started planning our wedding and stumbled on Texas Wedding Ministers. We were paired with Paul Douglas and could not be happier with our experience. Paul was kind, attentive, and professional. He was open with us through the entire process of planning and made sure our ceremony was seamless and beautiful. He also brought some personality to our ceremony, which was perfect to describe our relationship leading up to our wedding. I highly recommend Texas Wedding Ministers and especially Paul Douglas if you have the chance to work with him. They were awesome!
