From the Farm... to Fancy... all in the same weekend!

This couple got married under a tree at the back of their homestead under a beautiful tree.  Close family & friends were in attendance. So personal and perfect for them!


This couple got married at Casa Blanca on Brushy Creek in Round Rock.  They had friends & family with a personal twist of their own.  So personal and  perfect for them!

Thanksgiving Weddings -2012

We conducted several weddings during the Thanksgiving break.  Why not?  Your family will all be together anyway... how about a slight diversion for a 'Short and Sweet' Wedding?!  
We are thankful to these couples who invited us to be a part of their new beginning together.  Thank You!

Vendor Bidding -- Thumbtack.com

Everyone knows about Ebay and the concept of online bidding to win the desires of your heart.  But Wedding Vendors bid -or submit quotes- for YOUR Wedding?  THAT'S a concept to think about. Especially if you're on a tight budget.  Why not?  
Check out Thumbtack.com to see what kind of vendors you might need.  
Go ahead... pit Florist against Florist.  Or DJ against DJ.  You can even pit Officiant against Officiant.  All of these vendors want to work for you and you can obtain quotes from several.  One-stop-shopping.  Online.  Easy-peasy.  
Ask for an online quote from Short and Sweet Weddings for an Officiant to conduct your Wedding ceremony in the Austin area on Thumbtack.com.

Vendor Attitude

Just a quick note to vendors... 
It's her dream day.  The Bride is getting married TODAY.  This woman has been preparing and preparing and preparing for THIS DAY.  She's invested her money and her dreams into YOUR SERVICE to help make this a perfect day (work with me on the 'perfect' motif).  
PLEASE MAKE HER DAY SPECIAL.  
Yesterday & several weeks ago I witnessed a photographer (yes, same guy) who was less-than-patient and somewhat rude to the bride and her bridal party.  Needless to say it caused BOTH brides to evoke feelings of anxiousness & undue stress.
YOU DO WEDDINGS EVERY WEEKEND, but she's getting married TODAY.  
PLEASE MAKE HER DAY SPECIAL.  
Despite what your services are, don't forget why you're there.  It's more than a paycheck.  
Pay attention to your Attitude.  It's contagious.  Not to mention it could ruin your business if you develop a reputation.

Purpose & Beginning

Hello... and Congratulations!  You're either reading this blog because you're engaged & looking for someone to conduct your Wedding ceremony -or- you've just gotten married & you want to see what we have to say about your amazing ceremony!  
Of course there's that other bunch of readers (otherwise known as 'vendors') who we will mention on this blog because they serviced the the same wedding as us & they want to get their two-cents-in to say how amazing your Special Day was too.  

Thanks for visiting & stay tuned...
