Uniting Love in the Heart of the Big Bend Region

Hello! I'm Hillary, your devoted wedding officiant, and I'm ​excited to be part of your love story. Growing up as the ​daughter of two Methodist ministers in the charming state of ​North Carolina, I learned the importance of faith, community, ​and love. Now, I reside in the magical town of Marfa, nestled ​within the Big Bend Region, where the stark desert ​landscapes have become my sanctuary.

Embracing Nature as My Church

While I was raised in the Christian tradition, my spiritual ​journey has led me to find solace and connection in the ​natural world. The breathtaking vistas, the soothing sound of ​wind through the desert, and the brilliance of starlit skies ​have become my church. I deeply respect the significance of ​faith and spirituality in one's life, and I offer you the flexibility ​to choose whether you'd like a religious or non-religious ​ceremony.

A Certified Officiant

I am ordained through the Universal Life Church and possess the legal authority to officiate weddings. This ​means your love story can be celebrated in a way that resonates with your beliefs and values, all while ​adhering to the legal requirements of a valid marriage ceremony within the state of Texas.

Beyond Officiating

When I'm not uniting hearts in marriage, you can often find me paddling down the Rio Grande, hiking in the ​Chisos, or camping under the vast Texan sky. These outdoor adventures fuel my spirit and remind me of the ​beauty of life's journey.
