Bilingual officiant writing fully bespoke ceremonies
Jul 2026
Vows by Marguerite has worked officiants across Austin and the surrounding markets for 9 years. Bilingual officiant writing fully bespoke ceremonies.
The team works to a written timeline agreed in advance, so the run of the day is settled well before anyone arrives on site.
74 events have completed the Verified Event Chain with this profile attached, each confirmed by both the host and the professional after the fact. Every review below is bound to one of them.
Most hosts book Vows by Marguerite between four and nine months ahead. Short-notice dates are considered when the calendar allows — send the date and you will get a straight answer.
Yes — the standard service radius is 50 miles from Austin. Beyond that a travel fee applies, quoted up front in the proposal rather than added later.
Payment is arranged directly with the professional. A signed contract and a non-refundable retainer secure the date, with the balance due per the terms in that contract. EventConnective does not take a booking fee or a commission.
Terms are set out in the contract you sign before paying anything. If services are not delivered, you flag it during host verification, which opens a dispute and blocks the event from producing a verified review.
Starting prices. Every booking is quoted individually once the date, venue and guest count are known — nothing here is a final figure.

Our guests are still talking about it two months later. We'd book them again tomorrow.

Delivered exactly what was promised. Communication was good, though I'd have liked a written run sheet a little earlier than the week before.

We had a venue change six weeks out and they absorbed it without a fuss or a change fee. That flexibility is worth more than any package inclusion.

What sold me was the verified event history, and it turned out to be accurate. Professional from the first message to the final invoice. Worth every dollar.

Booked them nine months out and they were in touch the whole way through. On the day, everything ran exactly to the timeline we agreed — no chasing, no surprises. Several guests asked me who we'd hired.

Great outcome overall. Slightly more expensive than the other quotes we had, but the difference in polish was obvious and we don't regret it.

Warm, calm and completely unflappable when the weather turned. They had a contingency ready before we'd even asked.

Turned up on time, worked hard all night, and left the space cleaner than they found it. Unglamorous things, but they're the ones that matter.

Vendors can only endorse someone they have shared a verified event with — no cold endorsements, no reciprocal trades between strangers.
Worked alongside them on some difficult rooms. They solve problems quietly instead of escalating them to the host.
Easy to coordinate with, honest about what they can and can't do, and they never make another vendor look bad to win a booking.
Reliable in the way that actually matters to other vendors — they hit their timings, so everyone downstream hits theirs.
We've shared a lot of load-ins. They're set up before anyone else and they leave the room in better shape than they found it.
