About

On WeddingWire since 2019

"Ceremonies by Alex" is based in Pinnacle, North Carolina. I'm Alex Cheek, and I perform weddings all over the South. Though I'm an ordained, nondenominational Christian minister (not some phony online "ordination," which is legally unable to perform weddings in North Carolina and Virginia ), I conduct both non-religious and religious ceremonies. I've performed over a thousand weddings, so I completely understand what makes a memorable and enjoyable ceremony.

Experience

I worked in radio for many years, and my voice keeps people engaged and seldom requires a microphone. I custom-craft each ceremony to fit the exact needs of every client. I've also spent time performing on stage, so I know how to deliver my "lines" with style and grace while keeping everyone's focus on the real stars of the show—the couple getting married. I regularly perform weddings in Spanish and have performed portions of ceremonies in nine other languages.

Services Offered

Marrying people is my full-time job, not just a side gig, and I have a mission to help people find even more joy in what should be the happiest day of their lives. I'm committed to reducing stress, solving problems, and finding answers for my clients. Each wedding receives a custom estimate, meaning that prices are flexible to suit the couple. My very best wishes to you, and I look forward to serving you!

Alex is awesome!!

Alex could not have been a better choice for me and my new husband. Alex was always quick to respond, extremely kind, and truly professional throughout the wedding planning process and on our big day. He valued our input and opinions when it came to our ceremony and he made it easy for us to create something beautiful together. I had multiple guests and family members comment on what a great job he did and I would recommend him to anyone!

Perfect Ceremony

Alex was awesome, just as a person really down to earth and knowledgeable about his industry. He crafted the ceremony to fit the couple perfectly, and he was so patient re the whole wedding experience being a stressful time-- he never got upset when things were adjusted. Thank you Alex!!

Smooth Ceremony and Great Photos

Alex made my 350+ person wedding easy to shoot as a photographer. He made sure that the ceremony flowed smoothly, that guests didn't take photos in the aisle, and he shoot out of the way for the fist kiss. Thank you for being so professional!
