Marriage is a lot like the Belltower Chapel building. It is built on a strong foundation of commitment, the walls and roof provide shelter from the storms of life, and the stained glass and craftsmanship provide beauty and romance. If your foundation is strong, leaky roofs can be repaired, stained glass can be replaced, and no storm will cause you to abandon the building as long as you have a good foundation upon which to build.
The fee for Belltower’s officiant services is $275 and includes:
- Personal consultation (in-person or over the phone, 1 hour)
- Minister attendance at rehearsal
- Performance of wedding ceremony

As a wife and mother, I believe in celebrating the commitment of two people entering into a lifelong union. A non-traditionalist at heart, I also believe that this can and should be done without judgment or prejudice to a couple’s circumstances, choices and history. A wedding is a celebration of hope and optimism and it is my distinct honor to assist couples through this critical transition in their journey together and celebrate this great occasion!
Pastor Tony Gonzales, Jr.
Having been a minister in a Christian church for over 30 years, it has been my privilege to officiate in numerous marriage ceremonies. I consider it a great honor and responsibility to be able to assist couples in the wedding ceremony that will join their lives together before God. I am most pleased to bless and guide the bride and groom as they join their lives together, and my wish for each couple is that their lives may be abundantly filled with love, joy and peace.

By becoming ordained to perform wedding ceremonies, my hope is to make it possible for non-traditional couples to easily express their love and commitment and say “I do.” I am happy to do traditional ceremonies as well, but being non-traditional myself, I am more aptly suited for an outside-the-box couple. Simply put, I’d like to make your wedding ceremony exactly what you want it to be!
Rev. Shad E. Comeaux
As a representative of God, I find it to be a blessing and privilege to join a man and woman as one in marriage. I believe that the marriage begins with God; therefore He must remain as an integral part of a couple’s relationship in order for it to be sustained by Him. It is my honor to work with you in creating a ceremony that is not only memorable, but that honors God as well. May the Lord bless your lives in the journey of becoming one.
Laurie A. McCoy
I believe marriage is a union ordained by God and is a lifelong partnership between two people who love and respect each other. It is an honor to be asked to perform a marriage ceremony, and it is a privilege to bless their union as husband and wife. I’m glad to work with the couple to tailor the ceremony to meet their personal preferences. Weddings are very special, and I strive to make the ceremony meaningful and memorable for each couple.
Rev. Bryan Bellamy
I serve as an associate pastor at Arborlawn United Methodist Church. I am a Fort Worth native, a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington, and received my Master of Divinity from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. My wife, Jennifer, and I have a lovely daughter, Madelyn. As a husband and father, I feel truly blessed to be a part of other couples’ journies as they begin their lives as man and wife.
Chip Govan
Having ministered in the Christian community for many years, my great joy has been to officiate the joining of a man and woman in the Holy Sacrament of marriage. It is an adventure to share with new couples God’s intent to display through them a picture of Christ’s love for His Church. In counseling, we explore our personal responsibilities and expectations for each other while embracing God’s rich plan to display His message of reconciliation to a watching world. I look forward to meeting you!
