Love is not cancelled!

Hiring Alice to officiate our ceremony was the easiest decision that we made during the chaos of the last several months. We knew we still wanted to get married on our original date of 7/31, even though we postponed our large public ceremony due to COVID-19 until next year. We contacted Alice and right away, felt a personal connection with her. From the first zoom call we had, we knew we wanted to work with her, and made the decision to hire her within a day of speaking to her. Alice is warm, caring and takes interest in each one of her clients beyond just that of a business interaction.
Alice made everything incredibly easy to fill out with her online portal, and via email. We gave her the information she would need to write our ceremony, and she curated a beautiful, personalized ceremony.
Just before our ceremony, I was incredibly nervous. Alice greeted me with warmth and kindness, guiding us separately through the signing of the marriage certificate and helping us calm our nerves. She took care of everything from the the beginning to the end of the ceremony, and we couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. We were so nervous about finding an officiant who would understand what we wanted in terms of a ceremony, and Alice delivered 100%.
We are so happy we found Alice, and had an amazing officiant on our wedding day!

Dear Marcy, I will always remember that moment you greeted me upstairs when I arrived, the way you and Ian looked at each other during the ceremony, and the tears that expressed your love during your vows. It was a pleasure to feel the love and support of your loved ones who were present (and masked:) and to witness your excitement when you saw all of your virtual guests on-screen after the kiss! Thank you for trusting me with your Covid (Plan B) ceremony. It was a joy.

I could not ask for more!
We were so lucky to find Alice for a marriage officiant. The entire process with her was very smooth. She was very responsive, kind, and made us feel comfortable from the beginning to the end. We also appreciate her flexibility and kind gesture when we wanted to change our wedding date at the last minute due to the weather condition. She absolutely made our wedding day so special with her great lead and we could not ask for more! If you are looking for a very special, but private, cozy and heartwarming ceremony, Alice is the right person to be your marriage officiant. I trully recommend her on your very special day :)
