Erlamond "Monte" Payne

Thank you for viewing my bio. Please only inquiry if you are seriously requesting services (are engaged, have a marriage license or plan to obtain one.)

Officiating weddings requires preparation and practice, and asking someone to perform your wedding shouldn't be done lightly. That's why you should choose someone who you trust, has experience and is dependable.

I am the proud founder and owner of "The I Do Crew" in Central Tx. We have a strong team of 7 experienced and dependable officiants. Each different and unique. If I personally am not the absolute best match for you, I can gladly forward you bio's on the other team members. We attempt to accommodate all clients regardless of day, time or location, and budget. Rates charged reflect all of these factors.

I provide legal support services full-time, therefore I am back ground checked and trustworthy. 20 years in deploying business operations support and strategy within Financial, Real Estate, Technology and Non-Profit industries. But officiating brings me the joy I have been looking for my entire life.

I love people, their passion and life in general. Helping you with your special day means the world to me, whether it is a commitment ceremony, vow renewal, wedding ceremony or memorial service.

I'm thankful of all the posted reviews from previous clients and couples. Reviewing them should give you some insight on my key skills and strengths. I am often hired for those qualities, in addition to my fair pricing and dependability.

All my professional business experience over the years helps me provide a high value of service. I can help you with the insights on may local venues and vendors, if needed.

New this Spring, we will be offering backyard elopement at our home (The Coop), between Waco and Austin in May and in November. Our packages are from the short, sweet and simple one hour ceremonies to more detailed two hour packages. Let us plan the details, do the cleaning and setup - you just show up and get married.

Thank you for considering me and my team. It would be a privilege to work with you and for you!
