Everyone is still talking about it
My husband and I wanted a ceremony that was personal, meaningful, and true to us. We searched around, but once we read Alice's Bio, we just stopped -- she was perfect. We had a video call to meet, and then we corresponded via email. The overall ease of the situation was outstanding. She had us fill out a questionnaire, then she took a crack at the ceremony. Literally everything was perfect, a few small tweaks, which were a result of us changing our mind on some content/tone. Every detail was discussed, from when to refer to my husband as "Robert" vs "Bobby", to how I as the wife wanted to be represented at the pronouncement (i.e. Husband & Wife, Wife & Husband, Partners, Mr & Mrs, etc).

The day of the wedding, she showed up, got our witness signatures, confirmed some name pronunciation, and clarified some technicalities like whether or not we wanted to use a microphone during our vows or keep them personal. She took time to sit with me and make sure I was mentally and emotionally ready. She's so calming.
She walked down the aisle with my husband and his best man. She asked everyone to please silence their phones, but to feel free to take photos (per our request). Then the processional began. Bobby told me what when I got to the door way, Alice whispered to him "Take a step forward and see your bride".
The entire ceremony was maybe 30 minutes, as we wanted to keep it short. Throughout the narrative, she would take a moment, put the microphone down, and just speak to us. This was an amazing way to make sure we were present, we were listening and we were there in a smaller circle, just us and Alice. It was a seriously great touch.
The entire reception, we had guests coming up to us telling us how this was the most unique, genuine and personal ceremony they have ever been a part of. We cannot thank Alice enough for creating and presenting the ceremony of our dreams, with the tone and positivity that we were searching for.

Wonderful Experience with Alice
Alice was the best officiant we could have asked for. We originally planned to elope at City Hall but we wanted a more personal experience and I’m so glad we chose to work with her. Our elopement photographer sourced Alice for us and I honestly couldn’t have picked anyone better myself. We had an initial skype meeting in the weeks leading up to our ceremony – with lots of technical difficulties on our end and she was very patient. She asked us about our relationship and how it evolved and turned our story into a very special ceremony. Alice is such a personable individual it made us feel completely at ease, almost as if we’d known her previously. The ceremony she wrote for us made us laugh and cry and will be something we remember forever. She even shared the ceremony with us afterwards so that we could pass along to our families who were not there with us. I would highly recommend Alice!

Friendly and personal service
Alice was a wonderfully calming influence during the lead up to our wedding, helping us make sure that our ceremony was personal but accessible to all the friends and family that joined us. We were thrilled to have her be a part of our day.
