James Spalten The Marriage Minister is an award winning officiant service that serves all of Arizona. With the help of my wife and assistant we write and officiate ceremonies tailored to your vision. Whether you want a religious, non-religious, or an interfaith service we can craft a ceremony that you, family and friends will remember for a lifetime. We are versed on many unity ceremonies, handfasting, candle, lasso and arras and many interfaith traditions. We are also familiar with the State of Arizona Covenant Marriage requirements.

Our service includes wedding rehearsal (if available and within Tucson) we never charge extra. We will assist you in writing your perfect vows if needed. We are also here for you after the celebration. We are also familiar with the State of Arizona Covenant Marriage requirements.
