Alan is a Rockstar!

Working with Alan was simply a delight. He was very helpful and responsive throughout our entire process. He always seemed sincerely/genuinely interested in getting to know us - he was able to make our ceremony super personal and as if we had known each other for years. We had so much positive feedback about our ceremony, from religious and non religious alike. Alan comes with our highest praise and recommendation!!

Alan was our wedding officiant in October. He was an absolute dream to work with! He did such a wonderful job of walking us through what the options for our ceremony were and helping us with any decisions we needed to make. He was extremely open to anything we wanted to add or change. Alan did a wonderful job of incorporating two readings that were very special to us into our ceremony. He was a wonderful calming force and put all of our nerves at ease. I had multiple guests come up to me after the ceremony and tell me how wonderful they thought Alan was. He is an absolute class act and we are so grateful that he was a part of our special day!

Reverend Alan Neale is a delight to work with. He weaves humor (his quick British wit!) in with Scripture, to craft a beautifully eloquent and heartfelt ceremony. He offers couples pre-marital counseling throughout their wedding planning process. Alan is welcoming, gracious, wonderfully funny and a gifted speaker. He makes each couple feel grounded and 'home' in their spirituality. If you are seeking an officiant, look no further.
