Christie and Terry were amazing to work with and everything was beyond expectations. They went above and beyond to meet our needs. We did the “you, me and the sea” package and will definitely be reaching out to them for our vow renewal in the future!

Everything was perfect and stress free for us. Beautiful decor. You can tell they live what they do!
We got married on 9/5/2026, Labor Day weekend. They were extremely helpful, it rained right after the ceremony and they still stayed to take pictures without any sense of rush. They had everything together so we didn’t have to worry about anything, everyone kept telling me I won’t remember the ceremony because I’ll have so much going on, that was not the case here, they handled everything so well I was able to relax, enjoy, and really take in my wedding day!
The photos came back SO FAST and were amazing, especially for what we paid for the whole wedding! They made us feel like we had the most important wedding, and we later found out they had 5 weddings that weekend, yet we could not tell because they treated us with such kindness and excitement!
This was by far the best wedding experience we could have had, if I had to do it all over again I would choose barefoot weddings Galveston every single time.
Price assessment: Great price

The entire wedding day went off without a hitch, and we were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment. Most importantly, the pictures came out beautifully — memories we will cherish for a lifetime. We are so grateful for everything Christie & Terry did to make our day so special.

If you are reading reviews go no further. I’m blown away at the service I received. Owners went above and beyond and make it fun and easy. I got so much more than I expected! They understand your emotions, love and journey! They don’t just provide a service they become part of it. That’s what makes it great is the love they have for unity love marriage and respect for others!
