About Us

One-Stop Wedding Planning  

Experienced officiants, talented photographers, beach equipment rentals, gorgeous flowers, delicious cakes, spoiling salon services, supportive and empathetic day of coordinators, and more can all be a part of your customized ceremony package.  Ceremonies big or small make no difference.  You pick the date, and we will make the rest a piece of cake!  I am at your service for a stress-free experience filled with love and memory-making moments. I work with budgets of all sizes and even price match to reduce the risk you are taking in hiring someone, like me, you’ve never met.  I am here to minimize your stress in every way and make planning your ceremony simple.

My name is Valarie Waddell, and I will be with you every step of the way happily answering your questions and adjusting your package as you get more clarity about your big day.  My husband, Bill, and I have been performing ceremonies on the beach with our fabulous vendors since 2009.  We are very grateful to get to work with couples from all over the U.S. and even overseas.  We know you need someone who is caring and patient and whom you can trust to carry out your vision locally while you are planning from far away.  I am a great listener and will do my very best to make sure your special day exceeds your expectations.  

Let us help you sort through your ideas with our experience and insight into what works best here, and our knowledge and connections to pivot if the unexpected happens.  We love helping couples plan and then encouraging them beyond their ceremony day through inspirational words, our examples of what not to do, and practical applications with a book I wrote on relationships that is given to each couple at  South Padre Beach Ceremony.  I do hope you choose us to walk with you on this magical journey.  God bless.
