Hitched & Sealed LLC

Hitched and Sealed is a wedding officiant service in Dallas, Texas. Founder and owner James is both an officiant and a Texas Notary Public, and he performs ceremonies for weddings, elopements and vow renewals.

Why he suits LGBTQ+ couples

Hitched and Sealed is LGBTQ+-owned. Choosing an officiant who knows your community means fewer explanations about names, wording and who walks where. James offers a full consultation, which gives you the chance to say what you want your ceremony to sound like.

Ceremonies

• Weddings of any size
• Elopements
• Vow renewals
• Notary services as a Texas Notary Public

Preparing your ceremony

Start with the legal steps. Ask James to walk you through the Texas marriage license, any waiting period and the signing of the paperwork. Then talk about tone, readings, vows and ring exchange. Decide whether you will write your own vows or use his wording. A short script helps keep the ceremony moving, and a rehearsal sets expectations for everyone involved.

Provide the full names you want read and any pronunciations. Tell him if you would like family or friends to take part, and ask how long the ceremony will run so your photographer and DJ can plan around it. Confirm the fee structure and what happens if the schedule changes before the wedding date arrives.

Where he works

The business is based in Dallas. Ask about travel to other North Texas venues or to destination elopement locations.
