Authentic Awakenings

Alex did our civil wedding ceremony and it was the best experience! He was on top of things, kept communication in the days leading up and did a wonderful job.. He tailored the ceremony to who we are as a couple. I highly recommend him!

Alex at Authentic Awakenings was WONDERFUL. I wish I could give him 10 stars. He was so personable and made my now husband and I very comfortable. He incorporated everything we wanted into our ceremony and even added some tasteful notes that really tied everything together. I highly recommend Alex to anyone who is looking for an officiant. We paid $250 for his services.

Alex ensured our day went wonderfully. He was professional and so kind! The ceremony was beautiful. He is also one of the most affordable officiants in the Houston area! That coupled with his kindness and professionalism is why I will recommend Alex over and over again to friends and family!

We had the absolute best experience with Alex as our officiant. From the very beginning, he was incredibly thoughtful and intentional about making our ceremony feel personal and meaningful. He took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, even reaching out to our friends and family to gather stories and insights.

The script he created was beautiful, heartfelt, and completely unique to our love story. It felt like us in every way. So many of our guests commented on how special and genuine the ceremony was, and that’s all thanks to Alex.

If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond to create a memorable and personalized ceremony, we can’t recommend Alex enough.

couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! amazing work all the way around and made our day even more special!

We could not have asked for a better officiant. From start to finish, he was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony meaningful and stress free. He took the time to listen, offered guidance when we needed it, and approached everything with professionalism and kindness. His calm presence and warm personality made the entire experience feel seamless and personal. Beyond being extremely knowledgeable and organized, he is simply a wonderful human being who truly cares about the people he works with. We are deeply grateful for his support and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond.

Alex G. is great he explained everything in detail and kept in communication with us! He also answered all my questions and emails in a timely manner. On the day of our elopement he helped get our family together and did a great job with the ceremony, which helped ease our nerves. He was nothing but supportive and professional!

Alex was AMAZING! We highly recommend him for your Officiant services. He was very thorough and eager to answer any questions throughout the entire process. The service was as wonderful as we would have hoped for. Thank you SO much for making our special day so memorable!

I would be remiss if I didn’t write a review about Alex from Authentic Awakenings. He met my wife and me at the Galleria Waterfall in Houston, and from the moment we showed up, he was already there, early, smiling, and ready to go. He was professional but still laid back, and honestly, he just made everything feel easy. From start to finish, his communication was on point. He stayed in touch, kept checking in, and asked all the right questions about what we both believed so he could put together a ceremony that actually felt like us. That meant a lot, because my wife is religious and I’m not, and Alex didn’t make that weird or complicated. He found the perfect middle ground that made it special for her and still real and comfortable for me. He wrote the whole script himself and would check with me to see if I wanted him to change anything to make sure we both felt right about it. My wife had no idea I’d been planning it all along, and Alex helped me pull it off perfectly. We didn’t hire a photographer because nobody else was there—it wasn’t anybody else’s day but ours. Alex even grabbed a few pictures for us that captured everything perfectly. It was a true surprise elopement, just raw and emotional. My wife was crying, I got emotional, and even Alex got choked up. It was everything I hoped it would be, the start of something beautiful, and I’ll always be grateful to Alex and Authentic Awakenings for helping make that moment what it was.

Alex was an amazing officiant for our wedding. We were nervous having someone marry us that we did not have a long standing relationship with but Alex met with us, was warm and felt like we had known him forever. From talking us through every step, getting to know us, writing our wedding script to being there for us on our wedding day before and after the ceremony. He was amazing every step of the way. My husband said he really helped calm his nerves at the altar and he even asked us what we would like him to wear. He genuinely cares about his couples and is very detailed orientated. We would recommend Alex all day everyday.
