Exceptionally thoughtful and professional officiant - a master of her craft!

Alice was a dream-come-true to work with and a master of her craft! She was an amazing listener as we told her what we were hoping for in regards to our ceremony and with the help of her well-prepared questionnaires, she was able to build a personal, thoughtful, unique, and truly beautiful ceremony. She had an excellent set of readings and vow examples as well, that really helped my husband and I find exactly what we were looking for that was the most meaningful to us. We were over the moon with how our ceremony turned out in practice and on our wedding day!!

During the ceremony, Alice was an exceptional orator. She read with an intentional, confident tone and captured the audience effortlessly. She made it obvious and easy for the readers to know their cue, and she was very professional and fluid with our prompts for our vows and I-Dos. Even when one of our taper candles started to smoke uncontrollably during the ceremony, Alice was poised and flexible, took care of it, and kept everything on track and running smoothly - she responded perfectly!

It was such an honor to work with her and we will remember how special and personal our ceremony was for the rest of our lives. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with her!

Alice is the best!

From the beginning, it was clear that Alice presented a higher level of service and commitment than your typical wedding officiant. She spent hours getting to know us in our meetings and through extremely thorough questionnaires. The ceremony that she put together reflected each of us individually as well as our ideals, goals, and personality as a couple. I especially liked how she made sure to include our children as well as the wedding guests themselves. It was truly moving -- we had so many people come up to us afterward to express that it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. She was a large part of what made our wedding so special, and we recommend her highly to everyone!!

The most thoughtful ceremony

Alice is amazing! She worked with us to craft a meaningful ceremony that truly reflected us. We didn't have to worry about our ceremony at all, because we knew it was in good hands (Alice's hands)! We can't thank her enough!
