Introduction

I would be honored to officiate your ceremony! I am an ordained Minister, licensed in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. I am also an authorized Minister for the Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). Officiating weddings is what I do, and I do it well. I have officiated 509 weddings (as of 06/26/21). I have a strong Baritone voice, am always very well dressed, arrive early, and have never missed a wedding. Am I more expensive than some other officiants? Perhaps. But the minister is the most important part of your wedding, for without the minister there will be no wedding! You decide. Hire an officiant with no experience who got ordained online, or go with an experienced Minister who has officiated countless weddings over the years!. If you choose to hire me, I do require a deposit to hold the date, (typically 50-75.00) which is deducted from the total fee. I hope to hear from you soon! - Rev. Doug Morgan My wedding day was the happiest day of my life, and I want yours to be also! As an ordained non-denominational minister licensed by the states of Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, I have found it to be a part of my calling to help couples of any faith, and any orientation (traditional or same sex) to experience the joy of marrying the person that they love. As an authorized minister for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), it gives me great joy to be able to bring a little happiness into an inmates life by fulfilling their wish to marry their loved one. Whether your wedding is simple or extravagant, in a park or in a mansion, I can handle any situation.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

My services typically start at $165.00, for a ceremony within 30 miles of my location. I will travel further on a case by case basis, at an additional fee of 50 cents a mile. Hotel fees, parking fees, etc., if needed, are additional.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I like to meet with the couple to be at least once before the big day to discuss the ceremony. I will work with them to customize their vows. After the initial meeting, most of this can be done via phone calls or emails.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am an Ordained Minister, and licensed to perform weddings by the States of Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. I am also an approved minister for the Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice (TDCJ).

How did you get started doing this type of work?

It's a natural progression for a minister to start doing weddings.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with all types of people, from all walks of life, and all faiths.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I don't have a "favorite" wedding, as each wedding is special in it's own way. And each wedding takes a different amount of time.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Don't automatically hire the "cheapest" officiant. Do a little investigating, check out their reviews, website, facebook page, etc.
