North Texas Chaplains

Chap. Hirschman made our wedding very special. He took the time to learn about us, so that he could customize the ceremony for us. He was very flexible and willing to spend the time needed to plan the ceremony that we wanted. Chap. Hirschman followed up with us in advance of the date of the ceremony, to assure that everything was "on track". And, he was very prompt the day of the ceremony.

You will not be disappointed if Chap. Hirschman officiates your wedding!

We called at the last minute and he was super nice about it. He was extremely nice about getting to know my husband and I, how met, our family and how we would like or wedding to flow. He was very open with our religious beliefs and gave us a multiple choice of quotes and sayings that we wanted to be said during the ceremony. It was perfect.

Stan Hirschman from North Texas Chaplains was the Officiant at our wedding ceremony and we could not have chosen a better Officiant!

My wife and I planned our Texas wedding from Arizona and Japan so alot of the details had to be worked out via email and Stan was very helpful in this regard.

I found a few officiants on the internet and sent them all requests for information. We chose Stan because he was the only one who answered his phone and after speaking with him for a few minutes I knew he was the one for us. On the phone he was attentive and listened to how we envisioned our wedding. My wife is Japanese and I am originally from Texas so I didn't want a ceremony that was too heavy on the religious aspect. Stan took that ball and provided some ideas for how to have a beautiful ceremony that blended both cultures.

We completed the paperwork and didn't actually meet Stan until two days before our wedding. Stan went through our timeline with us to make sure we had all the details covered and suggested a beautiful poem to be read during the ceremony. During the meeting, my wife mentioned a Japanese wedding custom and Stan was very open to including this into our ceremony. He helped us figure out where we could blend in this Japanese twist into our ceremony. The custom was the "San-San-Kudo" which is a custom where the bride and groom drink sake to honor their relatives, themselves, and their future. We decided it would fit in very nicely with our Unity candle ceremony. Stan pulled off this addition without a hitch.

Throughout the entire process from planning to the actual ceremony, I got the feeling that Stan truly cared about making our ceremony special! He does not provide a cookie-cutter type ceremony. He actually takes the time to ensure that your ceremony is personalized to you.

Thanks Stan for a wonderful and memorable ceremony!

I would highly recommend Stan as a Officant. Stan was on time to the rehearsal, responded to emails quiclkly, flexible in his schedule, and most of all his character was heartwarming, funny and easy to talk too. Stan helped us fit and plan out what "WE" want to be said at our wedding since I was Catholic and my husband was Baptist, we got what we wanted in our ceremony. I would definitely recommend Stan!

Stan was a dream to work with. He was extremely professional, yet also very friendly. My husband and I are not religious, and Stan did not judge us or make us feel uncomfortable. We met Stan about four months before the wedding, and he spent a large amount of time getting to know us and trying to understand our relationship. He threw a few personal details into our ceremony, and really made it about love instead of religion (which was what we wanted). I'm sure he can do a really religious ceremony, but as we didn't want that, he was wonderful. I would recommend him as an officiant for anyone, as he seemed to be very adament about making our ceremony personalized for us - and who wouldn't want that? Thanks Stan!

My husband and I are in our fifties and wanted a small yet meaningful elopement wedding. I talked to Stan several times on the phone and we immediately "clicked". Stan listened to our story and was enthusiastic and personable when I talked about our plans for a small wedding. We corresponded by phone and e-mail to secure the details of the ceremony. By the time the wedding day came, Stan arrived at our home early as promised and even had printed a poem I wanted to read (I had too but it was nice he thought about doing this). The ceremony was beautiful and meaningful and Stan was very personable and made us feel very comfortable. In short, the wedding ceremony exceeded our expectations and we are very happy we had Stan be our wedding officiant.

Have done several weddings together and he is awesome! The couples love him and are relaxed during the ceremony.
