Minister Alan was the PERFECT officiant for our wedding ceremony in Joshua Tree National Park!
A quick recap of important items below:
1/ INITIAL MEETINGS: Minister Alan is extremely organized and detail oriented. From our first meeting, he asked us detailed questions to ensure the ceremony was structured how we wanted it. He helped us to find the perfect balance of a traditional spiritual / religious ceremony with a modern (and shorter) structure. He is extremely experienced in serving as officiant and had many great ideas that he proposed from the start as we began to create our ceremony.
2/ CEREMONY PLANNING: Preparing the ceremony was easy and straightforward! We felt well prepared as our special day approached due to Minister Alan's check-ins and email updates. He provided us with frequent drafts of the final ceremony "script" for us to review / critique and helped us both in writing clear, concise, and beautiful vows. He helped us to coordinate and think about each moment of the ceremony ahead of time (e.g. "Who is holding our rings?", "Will we hold hands during the ring exchange?", "Where will our unity ritual rope go after we've tied the knot?"), which made the ceremony itself stress free.
3/ CEREMONY ITSELF: The ceremony was fantastic! Minister Alan was dressed sharp and spoke clearly. He had carefully structured the ceremony to include many emotional and happy moments. We cried... a lot. When he arrived, he had a beautiful folder containing the ceremony script, which he gifted us afterwards. He also handed us our vows to read, as well as our ring exchange text. He coordinated signatures on our wedding license and reviewed all details on the license before mailing them on our behalf.
I highly recommend Minister Alan! He was a fantastic officiant and we can't imagine having a more perfect ceremony, thanks to his organization and guidance. Thank you, Minister Alan!
