YES YOU REALLY CAN GET YOUR ENTIRE WEDDING CEREMONY WITH CERTIFIED WEDDING COORDINATOR MINISTER, MUSIC, PRE- DECORATED ARCH. PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, AND PLACE TO GET MARRIED FOR UNDER 1000.00 (SOME PACKAGES FOR QUITE A BIT UNDER and yet we offer the most beautiful weddings in Galveston. I recommend the "Celebration by the Sea" package as it includes everything.
Please understand in some instances, I am booked up to a year in advance. Therefore calling and booking a.s.a.p. is crucial. There are only 52 Saturdays in a year. Your chances of getting your date increase greatly if you choose to be married on a Friday or Sunday. Also, a little flexibility on dates is a huge plus.
To save your date it is important to pay your deposit, which holds your special day, then if we have negotiated payments, please make your payments in a timely manner. Thanks! Deposits, including any and all money paid toward your wedding are non-refundable.
After getting our certification and studying these in nearly every state we could find them, we came up with a few things we knew for a fact, a few things we had decided, and a few things we just loved! We decided that what we liked best was offering a short and sweet ceremony for a low starting price and then having an ala' carte menu or addons, where you can customize your wedding to be as unique, as the couple you are. Now some of you are going to want us to handle everything, while others are going to need to use vendors, and either way, that is fine with us, because we will find a vendor who has what you want to make your dreams come true. We promise to provide you with the best vendors we have found at the best prices in town.
Tipping the minister
Please remember to tip your minister at your ceremony, the industry standard is 75.00 to 100.00. I hate to call it a fee but it is expected at every wedding, so please don't forget.
Sweet and Simple Package-250.00
Ordination of your ceremony by a male or female minister
Your choice of vows, or you may read your own
Filing of your marriage license with the County Clerk
To add on a predecorated arch in eithr lots of greenery and white roses, or greenary and tropical flowers, our heart dug in the sand with rose petals in your choice of colors,a bamboo chuppah arch draped in lovely fabric, or finally, two Grecian columns with floral arrangements on top, this package is only 500.00.
Now we offer a large assortment of add-on "ale carte on the next page" items, but this is the basic package.
This is where we start, from here it is up to you, you can keep it simple or add-on to make it the wedding of your dreams!
If we don't offer it, we will work with you to find the right vendors and insure you get everything you are looking for!
See our Addons for all the add-ons and descriptions that you can add to your beautiful ceremony and/or reception.
Yes we can make or have made bouquets and order cakes for you but these are on the ala' carte page.
It is best if weddings are scheduled at least a month in advance, that gives me time to order anything special you might need, or get things in your colors etc.
Deposit needs to be paid up front, which includes add-ons. If this is a problem, talk to us, we can work out a plan that works for you. You can pay when we set the date and sign the contract.
We do offer a couple more special ceremonies that incorporates some of the elements of the add ons, but not all, for a reduced price :
Celebration by the Sea Package- 1199.00 includes taxes
THE TOTAL PACKAGE!!!!
Your choice of altars, either a Decorated Arch (greenery with white roses or greenery with tropical flowers),the Heart in the Sand with Rose Petals covering the center and rose petals spread down the aisle, petals in your choice of colors, a bamboo chuppah arch draped in flowing fabric or double Grecian columns with floral arrangements.

Additionally, we cater a full BBQ meal for all your guests for 1899.00(price includes food, not a disc of photos etc. that are extras.)
My preferred wedding reception venue
I work very closely with the Galveston Island Palms. More information below or you can visit their website at www.galvestonislandpalms.com.
Another option many of my brides take advantage of is renting a beach house, for them, their family, or friends etc; doing the wedding right outside on the beach, and then having a small reception or party at the beach house. We can have it catered or you can just grill and have everyone bring coolers. It can be as formal or as laid back as you like. Great idea for people who have relatives coming from out of town who would have to rent hotels anyway. A great site to check out beach houses is VRBO.com and make sure it is beachfront! Let me know if you think this might be an option for you and I can help find a house.
For other reception sites, please see my vendor's page
