The Marriage Minister

About

James Spalten officiates under the name The Marriage Minister from his base in Tucson, traveling throughout Arizona for ceremonies of every size, including elopements. What stands out on his website is how much is bundled into the engagement: consultations, ceremony preparation, ongoing email and phone communication, the rehearsal, the wedding ceremony itself, a copy of the wedding script afterward, and travel time are all stated inclusions rather than add-ons. Couples can choose religious, non-religious, or civil formats, and he also performs commitment ceremonies. The site's welcome-everyone language and imagery signal an inclusive practice open to all couples. He emphasizes listening to what each couple actually wants and tailoring the ceremony around it instead of recycling a stock service. Responsiveness is a selling point too, with a stated reply time of within two hours, and both a public phone number and email address are listed so couples can reach him directly. He cites award recognition and 5-star review histories on major wedding platforms. Published package prices are not listed; couples request a quote by phone or email.
