Ceremonies

The Beach

The Galveston Beach Wedding. A very popular venue for weddings. Try our Beach Pocket Parks. Imagine being married on the edge of the sea or even on one of the piers surrounded by water.

    Elope, Religious, Masonic or Civil

  • Civil: The civil ceremony is a legal ceremony with no religious content.


  • Interdenominational: This nice ceremony is the "bare bones" religious ceremony that cuts across all denominations.


  • Anglican: This is the most popular ceremony. Based on the traditional Church of England ceremony but updated for America. A beautiful ceremony that is often used as the interdenominational ceremony.


  • Unitarian: This ceremony can be used for marriages between members of different Christian faiths.


  • Traditional Anglican: This is the full traditional ceremony as used in the Church of England. A beautiful ceremony that is suitable for a full religious Church wedding.


  • Celtic: This wonderful ceremony, Is based on the original Scottish and Irish celtic ceremonies. Can be performed in full Kilt etc.


  • Masonic: This ceremony is for "Freemasons" only. (Guests do not have to be freemasons)


  • Inter-religion: This ceremony can include two Ministers, one from each religion (for example: Jewish-Christian).


  • Daoist: This wonderful ceremony, Is the western version of the Daoist or Taoist ceremony.


  • Vow Renewal: This ceremony is for couples that are already married but wish to re-new their vows. Civil, Anglican, Masonic, Interdenominational, etc.


  • Commitment: This ceremony is for couples that either do not wish to or are unable to legally marry but wish to commit to each other.


  • Baptism: Our favorite baptism follows the original idea of baptism in the sea.


  • Funerals: Unfortunately there comes a time when our bodies fail us and earthly life comes to an end. Rev. John will be honoured to assist in the passage.


Whichever ceremony you choose (there are many more ceremonies available including: Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, Celtic, Mormon, etc.), it will be performed with the utmost care and professionalism by the Rev. John Bostock and his staff.

Galveston has some lovely parks. A very romantic venue. There are also the beautiful Beach Pocket Parks just to the west of the Seawall where you can marry on the beach or under shelter overlooking the beach.


Horse Drawn Carriage or on a Boat
