    Annie is amazing!

    Annie was SO helpful, kind, and well equipped to assist us write our vows, pick readings, and guide us during the ceremony for our wedding day! She met with us a couple of times before the day and made sure we had plenty of materials to choose our wedding ceremony readings and guided us in writing our personal vows. Annie lead the wedding party the day before in the rehearsal and made sure everyone knew what they were supposed to be doing. Her services are worth every penny and I would HIGHLY recommend giving her a call if you are in need of a welcoming, knowledgeable officiant! Thank you, Annie!!

    A Personal Touch

    Annie is quite the professional while being personable. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple and made what can be a stressful process, a smooth one.

    Annie was and is a special part of our big day. A day we will always treasure and the very day when two became one. We are blessed beyond measure to not only have had her as our Officiant, but also to have her as an addition to our extended family.

    Thank you, Annie! ❤️

    Superb Destination Wedding

    At the time of our wedding in Vermont, my wife and I lived in Texas. Annie did a fantastic job communicating with us regularly and generally giving us wedding planning tips. For the rehearsal and wedding ceremony she was attentive and great at puttingeveryone at ease. All in all we had a great time with Annie and would recommend her for other couples.

    Annie was fantastic!

    Annie truly made our private elopement in Vermont, so very special! She helped us with every detail and made personalizing our ceremony so easy and fun. Being a lesbian couple, finding an lgbtq+ friendly person was very important. We’re so happy with how our ceremony went and so thankful we found Annie!

    Gifted and warm professional who made our day special and memorable!

    Annie Alexander-Kramer is truly a special and remarkable professional and human being, who takes the time to get to know you both individually and as a couple, to make your wedding day everything you had hoped it would be and more.

    From the first email to phone call to live meeting, to our actual wedding day, Annie's communication was quick, responsive, and immediate, which was important to us as a couple planning our wedding in Vermont from Florida.

    Annie's impressive background which includes over 1000 officiated Vermont weddings and specialized experience in wedding planning, allowed us to feel supported and confident in our decision-making for our wedding day. Her wealth of knowledge and her book of suggestions and ideas helped us plan and create a day that we will never forget.

    My partner, John, and I had the most wonderful experience working with Annie as our Officiant and de facto total wedding planner extraordinaire. We would highly recommend her to our family and friends without any reservation.

    Annie was amazing and helped make our ceremony and day so special! She would connect with us frequently as we were getting closer to our special day, to make sure we had everything we needed to ensure the process went smoothly. She sent us many examples for readings and vows to give us ideas and choose from! We highly recommend using Annie as your wedding officiant!

    A wonderful and professional VT officiant

    We hired Annie for our August 2023 wedding in Reading, VT. From start to finish, she was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with and we loved getting to know her throughout the process. As an officiant, Annie’s years of experience in planning and leading ceremonies makes her very well prepared for all kinds of couples and unique celebrations. With all her guidance and suggestions, we really felt that our ceremony had a great flow and included many little details that made it unique and special to us. If you are planning a wedding in the VT area I would highly recommend hiring Annie as your officiant!

    Annie is great!

    We had the pleasure of Annie being our officiant last month. All the planning was done remote due to our location and she was wonderful about walking us through the process and providing us advice leading up to the day on all the details. She was so easy to work with, very professional, warm and caring. She really listened to what we were looking for and made us feel at ease especially on the big day. I highly recommend Annie and so glad we chose her!

    Wonderful Officiant!

    After our very first phone call with Annie, we knew we were in excellent hands. Creating a personalized and unique ceremony was important to us, and Annie helped us do just that. She took the time to meet with us to review the components of a wedding ceremony and discuss our vision. She provided us with a large selection of readings, poems, and symbolic ceremonies to choose from, but also welcomed outside material.
    We had a pretty stressful wedding planning experience and Annie stuck with us through it all. We decided to postpone due to the pandemic and then ended up changing our postponement date and venue as well. We made a lot of changes to our original wedding plans and Annie was instrumental in reassuring us that everything would work out when we were facing so much uncertainty. Annie was also very responsive by both phone and email during the planning process, which we really appreciated.
    Annie has many, many years of experience as an officiant, which we found very comforting because we were looking for someone who knew what they were doing. She also had lots of advice to share about the ceremony and weddings in general, which we found very helpful. We really enjoyed working with Annie and having her with us on our wedding day; she is a genuinely nice person.
    If you’re looking for an officiant who has a lot of experience and will help you personalize your ceremony, book Annie! She will be a great asset to your vendor team and is a joy to work with.

    Here is your sign! Just hire annie!

    Guys, if you have not booked Annie for your wedding and you can get on her calendar, JUST DO IT! Annie was amazing and made our wedding feel like it was 100% ours in every single way. We incorporated both non religious and some Roman Catholic aspects to make our grandparents happy as well as us who decided that we really didn't not feel like getting married at a church was our cup of tea. She had readings that she recommended laid out for us, recommendations that our guests loved (do the wine box you won't regret it!) and amazingly kept in touch with us even though she was going through an extremely hard time♥️She also ran our rehearsal and corralled the herd of cats that is out bridal party as well as mine and my husbands family in the most professional way ever! We got married at the Inn at Mountain View farm and she knew the place like it was the back of her hand. She was a calming force on a day that could have been incredibly stressful and we never would have been able to do it without her♥️ Thank you Annie from the bottom of our hearts for being so responsive, thorough, and caring throughout the entire process! Again if you are thinking about hiring her get your foot off the brake and just do it! You will not find a more professional, prompt, and personal officiant out there!

    Best decision we made in planning our wedding!

    Choosing Annie as our wedding officiant was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning. We were originally planning our wedding for August 2020. Our venue was pushing us to hold off on rescheduling. Annie was our voice of reason throughout the chaos of planning and replanning. She was honest with us when it was time to postpone, based on information she had through the Vermont Board of Wedding Professionals. She supported us when there were challenges with rescheduling, and just could not have been more patient and lovely. Once we did have everything rescheduled, Annie had multiple calls with us, planning every aspect of our ceremony. It was very apparent that she truly cared about the ceremony being what we wanted. Annie shared her tips with us from her 20+ years of experience and was able to provide guidance that we very much trusted. Annie stayed in touch with us leading up to our wedding and answered any questions we had ahead of time. She spent quite a bit of time talking with us about our ceremony and what to anticipate. She was very thorough leading up to our wedding rehearsal and actual ceremony. All involved knew where they needed to be and what would happen the day of the event. We can't say enough about Annie. She was truly a source of calm amidst so much uncertainty throughout planning a wedding during a global pandemic. We are so very grateful. If Annie is available on your date, don't wait to book her! You absolutely will not regret it!

    Seasoned Professional

    Annie did a perfect job as our wedding officiant at Stratton Mountain! She met with us multiple times (in person and over the phone) over the year of planning to make sure all the details were correct. She had plenty of advice, suggestions, and material. It was helpful to have someone so well versed in VT weddings to guide us through the process. Our relatives told us they felt it was a very personal ceremony. We also greatly appreciate her flexibility and sticking with us during these difficult times. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant in VT!

    We cannot thank Annie enough!!

    We couldn't imagine anyone else marrying us! My now-husband and I had found Annie on a whim. After our first phone call, I knew Annie was PERFECT! Planning an elopement/wedding in the middle of a pandemic was not easy, but we wouldn't have been able to do it without her! Her advice and guidance made the planning process sooo much easier. If you are getting married in VT and looking for an officiant, look no further. Annie is the absolute best!!!

    Annie is the best!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Annie as our officiant! We wanted a non-denominational service that was personalized to our relationship and Annie delivered. When the pandemic threw our plan off course, Annie kept us reassured and happily agreed to officiate our small elopement, in addition to our postponed celebration. She held our hand every step of the way and helped us craft a truly perfect and intimate ceremony. We are so happy that Annie was part of our special day, and we look forward to working with her for our big celebration next year!

    Totally customized the experience to represent us- Married on 5/8/2021

    Annie was incredible throughout the entire process. She was extremely knowledgeable and up to date about the status of Covid-19 in VT and what the guidelines were for weddings. She met with us over the phone multiple times to make sure that our ceremony would be customized and specific to my husband and I which made for a very personalized ceremony. It is clear that she spent much time planning the ceremony for our special day. She even had a back plan already in mind if we had to move the ceremony from outside to inside, which we did, and she executed this seamlessly. We absolutely loved having her as our officiant and got many compliments about how sweet the ceremony was. We highly recommend Annie!

    Experienced and Kind!

    - Annie was an amazing officiant! She was with us each step of the way. She truly has ceremony planning down to a science and her experience shines through. When talking with Annie on the phone, she was kind and truly wanted to know what it was we wanted for our ceremony. She met with us in person to go over ceremony details and helped guide the way. She had numerous suggestions and a ton of readings/special additions for ceremonies based upon her years of experience. She directed our rehearsal perfectly and wanted to make sure everything went as planned. On our wedding day, she met with the coordinator as well as musicians to make sure fades in the music were at the appropriate time. Our ceremony was AWESOME! Everything went exactly as planned. Annie is a flawless public speaker! She crafted a great love story about my husband and I to add into the ceremony to give it a personal touch! She made sure every member of our bridal party knew what to do and when to do it! Our ceremony was truly magical! Everything flowed perfectly and seamlessly thanks to Annie! If you are looking for an experienced officiant, Annie is your person! We would highly recommend her!

    Annie is amazing

    There are almost no words to describe how wonderful Annie was. My husband and I (same sex couple) as prepared as we thought we were, really had no clue about what we wanted in terms of the actual service and also the practical steps we had to follow in making our marriage official. Annie truly guided us from square zero and built the most beautiful personalized ceremony. She was soo good she actually married us twice, both officially in a small ceremony and symbolically in a large ceremony for family and friends.

     If you are a busy couple and have no idea what to do, I would 100% recommend reaching out to Annie. Before our ceremony we were living abroad and all communication was done via email and phone. Somehow through this she was able to deliver the most heartfelt officiation (my eyes water thinking of how beautiful her words were) and she was also able to incorporate various cultural traditions going above and beyond doing independent research to make all family feel welcome and included.

    Annie was the foundation of our marriage and started everything on a good foot. I am so thankful to have had her as an officiant.

    Amazing Officiant!

    Annie is just absolutely amazing. She helped us through a lot. She is extremely kind, offered advice and support, and accommodated changes in our plans. We are planning a 5 year anniversary celebration/vow renewal and we will be asking her to officiate that as well.

    Annie was great!

    Annie was the perfect choice to officiate our recent wedding ceremony at the Mountain Top Inn in Vermont. She is incredibly experienced and organized, and made the ceremony planning process a breeze! Annie connected with us several times leading up to our big day, and came prepared with options ranging from vows to symbolic ceremonies to readings for us to choose from. My husband and I wanted to ensure our ceremony was personalized to our own style and story, and Annie truly made that happen. On the day of, she executed everything flawlessly- many of our guests came up to us afterwards to comment on how special our ceremony was. Thank you Annie for contributing to the success of our perfect wedding day!

    Annie was great and very easy to work with! She was very experienced gave great guidance / tips to help us shape the ceremony we wanted. Some of our guests asked us if we knew her personally because they thought the ceremony seemed so personal (we only met her a few months before our wedding)!
