Houston Wedding Officiant
Your love story, honored your way.
Warm, personal ceremonies for couples and families who want something meaningful in a backyard, at a courthouse, or anywhere outside a traditional church. All are welcome here.
Every ceremony, made personal.
Hi, I'm Terrence. I believe your wedding day should sound and feel like you, not a script pulled off a shelf. Whether we're in a backyard at sunset, on the steps of the courthouse, or somewhere in between, I'll help you shape a ceremony that honors your love, your family, and the moment you're stepping into together.

Meet Your Officiant
Terrence "TJ" Boutte
I'm an ordained minister and Bible teacher, married for over twenty years, a father of four, and a proud grandfather. Marriage and family are the ground I stand on, not just what I preach.
I believe every couple and every family deserves a personal, warm, pressure free celebration. If you want something meaningful outside a traditional church setting, you're in the right place.
My goal is simple: to help you step into your covenant feeling seen, calm, and celebrated, with a ceremony that sounds like your love, not someone else's template.
My Promise to You
Three things you can count on.
Personal
Every ceremony is written around your love story, never copied and pasted.
Warm & Welcoming
A calm, welcoming presence for couples and families of every background and belief.
Stress Free
I handle the details and the paperwork, so all you do is show up and say I do.
"As I begin officiating, this space will fill with the words of the couples and families I am honored to serve."
Frequently Asked
