I Do Ceremonies Austin/Waco Wedding Officiant

I Do Ceremonies Austin/Waco Wedding Officiant We've married over 1500 couples & we work with couples to create the perfect personalized ceremony! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

My name is Stephen Simmons and I’ve enjoyed creating “I Do” ceremonies with couples in and around the Austin area since 2005. As a wedding officiant and a non-denominational ordained minister, I am honored to have the opportunity to work with couples to create the perfect personalized ceremony that reflects what you as a couple want on your special day. Your wedding is one of the most important ev

ents of your life and your wedding officiant should make you feel at ease about the details of your ceremony. Have you considered, that in addition to the groom and bride, the officiant/minister is the only other “must have” person required to have a wedding? I’m sure you’re wanting to find the right officiant/minister for this momentous occasion, so don’t wait on this important decision. I like to schedule a free initial consultation with all couples to discuss various options and get to know one another. Consultations are available in person, or via phone, Skype or Facetime. Following that consultation, if you decide to move forward with my services, we will create your personalized ceremony. Together, we can create your wedding ceremony to be short and simple or more detailed, integrating personalized vows, scripture, blessings, poems, readings, prayers, unity ceremonies, cultural traditions, and other specific preferences you desire. My goal is to provide the amount of guidance you want in creating your ceremony. I’ll share examples of other ceremonies allowing you to select a specific ceremony, or, you can combine a mixture of ceremonies together to create your own personal preference. You can also write your own ceremony wording if you have something specific you would like. While at my site, you will find beautiful ceremony ideas as well as various other useful nuggets to create the perfect ceremony. It would be an honor to officiate your wedding.

Grateful for another 5 star review last week 🙏🏼

"Working with Stephen Simmons was an absolute pleasure. His calm, professional presence made the ceremony flow beautifully, even when unexpected wind required quick adjustments. He adapted seamlessly and delivered a heartfelt, meaningful ceremony for the couple. I would highly recommend him to any couple looking for a thoughtful and experienced officiant. 10/10" we appreciate you!

READ TO THE END!

I truly do support the choice to honor an important person in your life by letting them help officiate your wedding! 🙌🏻

I also know what an important day your wedding is, so make sure you consider everything before you choose someone who isn't a pro. 💍

If your chosen person passes all these tests, awesome. Now you can do them a favor & make sure your ceremony is created, personalized, and with a clear outline without them stressing (or resorting to AI & losing the flow). 👇🏻

After many years of requests for just this occasion, I offer ceremony creation services 🙂

Why you shouldn't hire the cheap officiant who thinks officiating is just a quick way to make extra cash on the weekends...🫣

A professional officiant takes your wedding ceremony seriously - and recognizes the honor!

Ceremony creation, personalization, a commanding voice and presence, knowledge of marriage license laws, awareness of trends, experience in rehearsals & processionals, and simply experience with tricks of the trade; these are key aspects that make or break your ceremony.

I do support honoring a loved one with helping officiate - with the right tools & intentions. Honestly, your uncle may do a better job than a cheap officiant 😅
Follow my page and I will be posting more on how to find success with more modern tools (chatgpt?), ways to include loved ones, & other ceremony tips.

TEXAS ISN'T VEGAS 💒😅

In the state of Texas, you are legally required to obtain a marriage license 72 hours prior to getting married! 💍

The 72-hour waiting period for a marriage ceremony in Texas, established by Texas Family Code Section 2.204, has been in effect since April 17, 1997. ⚖️

This law mandates a 3-day waiting period between the issuance of a marriage license and the ceremony, with exceptions for military personnel, judicial waivers, or completion of a premarital education course.

Key details regarding the Texas 72-hour law:
》Effective Date: April 17, 1997.
》Purpose: To prevent impulsive marriages.
》Exceptions: The waiting period can be waived if the couple completes a qualified premarital education course (e.g., Twogether in Texas), if 1 applicant is on active duty with the armed forces, or if a judge grants a waiver.
》Validity: Once issued, the license is valid for 90 days.

📃 you have to obtain it, but we file it for you after the ceremony!!

"After searching high and low, we couldn’t find anyone as professional and organized as Stephen Simmons. We’re beyond happy that we chose him as our officiant. Stephen truly stood out as one of the most exceptional vendors we worked with for our wedding. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine, engaging delivery brought the perfect personal touch to our ceremony. We were also thrilled with the extensive selection of ceremony scripts he provided, which made it so easy for us to find the perfect words even when we didn’t know where to start. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free". - Tony A., Groom

The ceremony sets the tone for your entire wedding day. 💍 In all honesty, it is THE reason we gather on that day... after all, a wedding without an officiant is just a big party 😉

That’s why we walk you step‑by‑step through an organized, stress‑free process to personalize every part of your ceremony from the processional to the “you may now kiss!”

You bring your story, values, and vision. We’ll bring structure, guidance, and a ceremony that feels effortlessly “you two". Our custom ceremonies often leave guests laughing, crying, or both and most certainly one that everyone will remember.

How do you know when you've "found the one"?

I recently had a couple that shared something the grooms grandfather told him when considering this question, I found his answer to be great advice.

When ‘I’ becomes ‘WE’, when ‘ME’ becomes ‘US’, and when ‘MINE’ becomes ‘OURS’.”

When you "find the one", let me know and I would be honored to officiate your wedding.
