Wedding Officiant Serving Austin and Surrounding Areas
Over the years of being a wedding officiant I have learned a lot and have had a lot of questions. Here are the most common: How long should my ceremony be? Well, this is up to you. You have just spent months, possibly years planning your wedding, do you want it to be short and […]
Should you tip your wedding vendor? It depends. Tips are meant to show you appreciate the level of service you received. Tips are also important for those who merely receive an hourly wage yet offer amazing service (think of waitstaff serving your food); the tip is truly their money rather than the business owner.

If you are going to cut corners on your wedding don’t be chintzy with the DJ. You spent countless hours choosing the perfect dress, color scheme, and venue.

It’s wedding day! The chairs are set outside under a beautiful oak tree surrounded by a neatly trimmed lawn and singing birds. The clouds are gray. Is it going to rain? Is it going to blow over? The wedding planner says “Time to make a call, we should move it indoors.” The Bride says, “No! […]
A frequent question I receive is, “Do we need you at our rehearsal? We have a wedding planner.” This question is not as simple to address as you would think. Wedding planners have a lot on their plate the day of your wedding and do a fantastic job at seeing the big picture, but I […]
Perhaps it’s due to all the media that portrays men as losing their independence once they say I do, but too many have bought into the lie that they need to be “fortified,” aka drunk, to be able to commit to the one they say they love. Flasks are now given as gifts to all […]
