✝️ Officiants & Beach Wedding Services

For couples wanting beach, courthouse, or non-traditional weddings:

• Use beach-specialty planners (like My Island Weddings or Barefoot Weddings Galveston) — they often bundle officiant + setup + simple decor
• Request officiant details early — beach/waterfront weddings often have permit/time restrictions
• Consider local historic-venue chapels / churches for indoor or backup–friendly ceremonies

💡 Tips for Choosing Vendors for a 2026 Galveston Wedding

• ✔ Choose vendors who've worked in Galveston before
• ✔ Ask about backup rain/wind plans
• ✔ Confirm load-in/load-out timing (downtown is tight)
• ✔ Share your venue floor plan early
• ✔ Request a mood board if you're using florals or decor
• ✔ For coastal weddings, choose caterers familiar with sea-air, timing logistics, and historic-venue restrictions
• ✔ Use local rental services + planners who have done island setups — this ensures timing and transport are handled properly

⚠️ Important Notes About Vendor Availability

Despite this comprehensive list, vendor availability has some limitations:

• Many photographers / videographers serving Galveston travel from nearby cities when booked — hard to pre-catalog reliably
• Rentals, specialized décor, large-scale production gear (lighting, sound, staging) often come from outside the island
• Seasonal / part-time vendors — Florists, bakers, dessert vendors, small rental shops may go in and out of service
• Some venues & vendors may not actively maintain their public listing — you'd need to verify availability when booking
• Local regulations, coastal weather, tides, and permit requirements can make availability unpredictable — good planning + backups + local vendor experience are essential

Best approach: Regularly check local directories like Married On Island, WeddingWire, and Visit Galveston to keep your vendor list fresh.
