“Our desire is to fulfill your wedding vision by making the most important day of your lives the best day of your lives.”

Brandon Ramey, Founder

Brandon is a native Houstonian - which basically means he loves Tex-Mex, and drinking coffee in 100 degree weather.

After graduating from Texas A&M, Brandon moved back home, and has been serving as a pastor in the city of Houston for over 10 years.

Brandon has a deep passion for walking couples towards their wedding day. Which is why he personally has helped over 600 couples say “I do!”

His unique ability to put people at ease, bringing a degree of warmth and comfortability, makes it feel like you’ve known each other for years as he weaves your unique love story, journey, and personalities, into your ceremony.

In addition to serving couples, Brandon also serves with OneChild, a global community of Child Champions that serves children in poverty so they can discover hope and reach their God-given potential.

When he isn’t officiating weddings you can find him attempting to work out at his crossfit gym, or at one of his many favorite coffee shops.

Together, we have officiated over 1,000 weddings!
