Basic Ceremony  - Our Basic Ceremony is also known as an elopement ceremony. Normally an elopement ceremony is only the bride and groom, but we will provide this ceremony as well if it is a very small wedding of 10 guests or less, with no attendants. This simple ceremony includes an opening and closing prayer, exchange of vows and ring presentation. This ceremony also includes a keepsake copy of your wedding vows and we return your marriage license to the Registrar for recording the next business day. The basic ceremony is only available within 25 miles of New Braunfels. Our fee for the basic ceremony on Monday - Thursday is $125, Friday - Sunday is $175. Call for availability.

Standard Ceremony - Our standard ceremonies are our most popular wedding ceremonies and are most appropriate for semi-formal weddings with up to 100 or more guests. It includes other ceremonial touches such as the presentation of the bride and blessing of the rings, as well as other traditions you might want to include, such as a Unity Candle, hand binding, Biblical readings, remembrance of loved ones who have passed on, or children's blessings for blended families. With the standard ceremony, we will also provide music if needed for your DJ. Depending on what you would like to include in your wedding, the standard ceremony will range from 15 - 30 minutes. This ceremony also includes a keepsake copy of your wedding vows and we return your marriage license to the Registrar for recording the next business day. The standard ceremony is available anywhere in the state of Texas, however mileage fess may apply if more than 25 miles from New Braunfles. Our fee for the standard ceremony is $275.

Deluxe ceremony - Our deluxe ceremony is most appropriate for formal weddings with 50 or more guests. This ceremony includes all the options of the standard ceremony as well as a reception dinner blessing. I also write more detail into the ceremony, so the ceremony is slightly longer. With the deluxe ceremony, we will meet with you in New Braunfles to discuss the details of your wedding and to get to know you better. This allows me to create a more personalized ceremony. This ceremony also includes a keepsake copy of your wedding vows and we return your marriage license to the Registrar for recording the next business day. Our deluxe ceremony is available anywhere in the state of Texas, however mileage fees may apply if more than 25 miles from New Braunfels. Our fee for the deluxe ceremony is $375. 

Theme wedding ceremonies - Theme weddings are becoming more popular these days. They can be a lot of fun for you and your guests. We are happy to create a custom theme ceremony for you and to even dress the part. Due to the variables of theme ceremonies, pricing will vary. This ceremony also includes a keepsake copy of your wedding vows and we return your marriage license to the Registrar for recording the next business day. If you are planning a theme wedding, please book your wedding with us at least 6 months in advance so we have ample time to prepare and obtain the proper attire.

Rehearsals - We charge a flat rate of $75 for rehearsals. This includes a blessing of the rehearsal dinner if desired. Travel fees are assessed if applicable. 

Travel fees - Due to the high cost of travel, ceremonies held more than 25 miles from the Comal County Courthouse please add an additional $0.50 per mile round trip. If overnight stay is required, only the actual cost of lodging will apply.  

Deposit - Once we have talked, and determined which ceremony is most appropriate for your wedding, we require a $100 non-refundable deposit to book the date. The balance is due 30 days prior to your wedding. You may book your date and pay your deposit now by clicking here. Please note, we cannot hold a date until a deposit is received.

Premarital coaching - We strongly encourage premarital coaching for all couples. Studies show that couples who receive at least 12 hours of premarital coaching reduce their divorce rate more than 50% in the first five years of marriage.   

We also provide marriage coaching for couples in both one-on-one and group sessions. For more information about premarital and marital coaching, please visit our coaching website.
