| Welcome to: Austin Wedding Ministry FAQ & Information Resources
Hello, I am Reverend Louis Bernhardt. I am the Executive Director and Officiant
for Austin Wedding Ministry. Since 1994 we have served the entire Metro Austin and San Marcos
areas for Weddings, Renewalof Wedding Vows, Baptisms, and Dedications of Infants and Children. Many hundreds of couples
have been married, and many children have been baptized. When two people decide to marry;
it is our pleasure and honor to participate in these "ONCE IN A LIFETIME"
events and celebrations. We have no special requirements, nor classes that ared required.
We officiate either a Catholic Celebration with Catholic Vows, or nondenominational Wedding Vows.
A formal church or country club wedding, a small backyard wedding, a wedding on Lake Travis
Beach, or a wedding in a park may be your choice. This is your wedding and we will serve where
ever you decide. We are here to help you
and provide a memorable service for you and those that attend. Call me TODAY and request
Houston Interfaith Ministry Service to officiate your wedding. Serving since 1994. Call Reverend NOW at 281-595-2002.
If you have need of a
clergyman, minister, priest, or Officiant for any reason; we stand prepared to
help. Question 1. What services do you provide? Answer 1. A full service ministry that is available to people of all religions and heritage. The Austin Wedding Ministry is operated as a nondenominational interfaith service. But still can offer denominational and catholic services for those requiring such. Services provided include:
A. Weddings:
If you need a minister because you are going
to get married. First let me say, Congratulations on your
engagement!. I know you must be happy and excited.
We will be just as proud to be a part of this once in a
lifetime moment in time as you are wed. When I see
the happiness and love in a couple's eyes showing for each other, I know and feel
I am seeing real love. This event must be special. The service must be memorable
as you each make a commitment to each other for a lifetime! We will be honored
to serve and officiate the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony on this the most important
day of your life. Click
