Celestial Waves

LGBTQ+-owned officiant in San Antonio, Texas, leading inclusive ceremonies that rarely run longer than half an hour.

Celestial Waves offers wedding officiant services in San Antonio, Texas. Jill Scoggins, the owner, is an ordained minister and also works as a certified lymphedema therapist and reiki master.

Why Celestial Waves suits LGBTQ+ couples

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. Jill has said that her wish to include everyone led her to perform spiritual commitment ceremonies as well as weddings. She has studied many belief systems and is willing to weave different traditions into a ceremony, which helps when two people come from different backgrounds.

Interfaith ceremonies
Elopements
Civil unions
Second weddings
Premarital counseling

What to expect

Ceremonies are typically under thirty minutes, which suits couples who prefer something warm and brief. Having planned her own wedding, Jill says there is no such thing as a standard ceremony, so expect a conversation about what you want to include and what you would rather leave out.

Bring ideas for readings, vows and any cultural or family rituals. Ask whether she writes a script from scratch or adapts a template, and when you will see a draft.

Practical points

Confirm your Texas marriage license is in hand before the ceremony. Ask who will sign and return it, and whether a rehearsal is part of the service. If your location is outdoors, discuss how sound will carry and what happens in bad weather.
