A True Professional and Friend

We are so grateful for Jim and having him be such an important part of our special day. He is kind, thoughtful, and an amazing speaker who engaged our wedding guests with subtle humor, thought-provoking prayer, and memorable personal touches. While he was so important to us on our wedding day, he was also a major part of our engagement throughout the wedding counseling sessions we held with him. We interviewed a few officiants but we are SO happy we landed on Jim. He is truly the best in the business and does everything with his heart first. Thank you Jim!

Excellent!

My husband and I had an excellent experience with Dr. Mustain! At our first meeting, Dr. Mustain was intent on getting to know us both as people and as a couple. He was warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed talking to him! We highly recommend Dr. Mustain as an officiant!

Smooth Sailing!

Jim did a great job officiating our wedding. It was a pretty hot day and he kept things moving, while also incorporating the key parts of the wedding we'd talked about. Everything went very well, and I would recommend Jim for any others getting married.

Jim is so very wonderful! It's always a pleasure having him officiate. He is both personal and professional. Jim truly cares about making each ceremony special to the couple. He is an eloquent speaker and effortlessly draws people in to listen. He is timely with the ceremonies that he officiates - never too long or too short. He has officiated several ceremonies for our brides and grooms and has done a beautiful job each time. One of the weddings he officiated was for one of our family members. He did an outstanding job. It was the most perfect day and ceremony! We would recommend him to any bride and groom!

I've worked with Jim now on a few ceremonies, and I have always been impressed with the energy he brings to the day. It is clear in the way he speaks, and the words he chooses for the couples, that he LOVES what he does because he believes in love! Incredibly kind, exceptionally professional - I recommend him to every couple I know needing an officiant!

Pastor Jim Mustain officiated a beautiful ceremony I photographed at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. He was professional, thoughtful, and fun, putting everyone at ease. The ceremony was lovely, and I would not hesitate to recommend him for a wedding in any venue.
