Below you will find a couple of heartwarming testimonials from some of the lovely couples we have wedded, highlighting the joy and satisfaction they experienced working with Texas Inmate Weddings.
Let me tell you about my experience with these lovely ladies...TDCJ makes everything hard. A lot harder than it needs to be and we weren't an easy couple to work with. We were both drowning in anxiety and anticipation. I was forever finding a reason to reach out to these ladies and even though I know I was a handful, they never made me feel like it. They patiently answered every question and reassured me what seemed like once ot twice a day that every thing was gonna be alright. When we ran into snag after snag, they did their part to get us on the road to the proverbial chapel once more. The day of our ceremony my husband's unit actually forgot about us and delayed everything by well over an hour. This did not help our anxiety at all, but Julie just kept reminding to be patient and assured me that I was gonna walk out those doors in just an hour or so as Mrs. Pearson. She also advocated HARD for us to get pictures and when they told her no, she went to bat and got us our pictures. We were the first couple at that unit to get pictures. While the pictures didn't turn out great I will forever treasure them and I have/will recommend Julie to anyone and everyone getting married in TDCJ!!!!

I had a great experience with Julie. She is reliable, honest, and operate with integrity. I recommend her to anyone who is looking to marry their loved one that's incarcerated. She always takes the time out to answer any questions that you may have. I'm so happy that I was able to use Julie to marry the man I love while incarcerated. Thank you!
