I Want to Marry You!

About Me


Okay, not marry, marry - but marry you ...
Creating personalized ceremonies that serve your needs and desires.

"... our primary focus is to personalize a ceremony that is right for you."

About me? Oy Vey ....I try to treat whoever I meet as an old friend. This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness. It is the practice of compassion. I wish I had said that and I do try to practice that, but has to be credited to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The world has so many interesting people with each a story to tell. So the more I meet the more stories I get to hear.
So, Rev, why weddings? I truly enjoy it; the writing of the ceremony, the happiness that (usually) surrounds the event and meeting the not only the couples but the friends and family that attend. Im not a preacher; however, being an ordained minister allows me to perform the weddings legally. My views on religion, spirituality, karma, dharma, dogma and God is very accepting and broad, and each person (in my opinion) is entitled to what makes them happy and what they need in their life. Ive done some acting, lots of public speaking and training and (back when I had more time and a life) I played with a band on occasion.
Just because I have had the opportunity to work in a lot of places, some of my friends have accused me of being in the witness protection program I have no idea what they are talking about. Lets see worked at a radio station (morning jock and PD), a newspaper, Silver Dollar City in Branson, Opryland in Nashville, Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, was a consultant in Park City, Utah and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Royal Gorge in Colorado, Science City in Kansas City, opened a consulting business in KC and moved it to Texas, tried (and still trying) to open various nightclubs and/or bars ( Reverend Roy Voodoo Lounge, LLC ) and currently the parks manager for Travis County (and, yes Hippie Hollow, is one of my parks and dont say you have never been there thats what everyone says!). Why would anyone think that I move a lot? Through all of this I have met some great people and have made some true friends and seen some amazing things.
So keep reading if you are really bored some more information about Personalized Ceremonies is below of course you can always go to my website www.personalized-ceremonies.com .
Are you looking for that special ceremony for your upcoming wedding? Personalized Ceremonies will assist you in putting together a ceremony that is right for you, then, conduct a meaningful wedding that speaks to you and your relationship with each other. Many people who are considering marriage do not formally belong to any particular church. However, most still want a real wedding, not a quick, generic ceremony in the office of a Justice of the Peace. At Personalized Ceremonies, we create and officiate wedding ceremonies, vow renewals, and other ceremonies to honor the milestones in your life.


Why not have the perfect ceremony that is right for you?
Our primary focus is to personalize a ceremony that is right for you and allows those you care for to share in this bond of love, memory and spirit, which will last a lifetime. As an ordained minister for the non-denominational Universal Life Church, Reverend Roy Turley is legally authorized to perform marriages in most every state of the Union. Regardless of your religious backgrounds or current beliefs and lifestyles, a wedding is an expression of who you are and the relationship you are creating together.
Each ceremony is designed to reflect who you are and to convey your own personalized ideals about your union to those you know and love, your relationship, the bond you have, as well as your hopes and dreams for the future. Together we can create a ceremony that celebrates the individuality of your marriage and each other. Personalized Ceremonies cares about you and your wedding and will create your ceremony to be the memory you carry with you as a moment to cherish and remember for a lifetime.
