Must Book Bilingual Officiant!

Alexandra was amazing! She is bilingual and was able to provide us with a spanglish wedding ceremony. She provided us with many great scripts to utilize for our day. She was punctual, professional and assisted with taking our wedding certificate to get filed.

An amazing officiant!

We are so happy to have found Alex! She is a wonderful officiant. She was incredibly communicative during the whole process and gave us several options to choose from when creating the ceremony script. We wanted to incorporate several components that we used when we got legally married the prior year. Alex was very receptive to this and helped us identify ways to incorporate this into our ceremony. Her demeanor was very warm and friendly and she demonstrated a high level of professionalism in our pre-ceremony conversations as well as during the actual ceremony. She helped make our day feel so special and memorable. We highly recommend her!

Made the process so easy!

Alex made the whole process soooo simple and made us feel like we were so important and special. She provided different options of what she could say and also let us come up with our own wording. It was super helpful to have her options because we wouldn’t have even known where to start, but it’s nice to get to have a say in what she comes up with too. And then we added in a few things of our own. She worked so well with our coordinator and all of our wedding vendors. She’s such a sweetheart and sooo happy and lovely as a person and as a vendor on our big day. Always had a smile on her face, dressed in a perfect neutral way that wouldn’t clash in the photos, thought to step away for our first kiss, and made the ceremony so fun and lighthearted even as things outside of our control kept going wrong. She would make a joke and everyone would laugh and forget that jets were going overhead or my dog was pulling my veil out of my head or our dogs kept barking through our vows. She also announced that we wanted an unplugged ceremony and no one pulled their phones out, just as I had hoped. I could not recommend anyone more!

Such an Amazing wedding officiant!

I had the most incredible experience with our wedding officiant Alex. She was not only great and wonderful but also super down to earth. Her ability to conduct a bilingual ceremony added a beautiful touch that my husband, guests, and I thoroughly enjoyed. She went above and beyond, incorporating personalized elements we wanted. It's amazing how my admiration for her work began when she officiated at my cousin's wedding – a bilingual ceremony that left a lasting impression. I remember being a bridesmaid at my cousins wedding and reflecting on the exceptional wedding ceremony she conducted, I couldn’t help but imagine having an officiant like her on the day I would eventually get married. 5 years down the road I found Alex on wedding wire not realizing she was the same person who officiated my cousins wedding. I’m glad to have found her. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting her, and her presence truly made our day unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Must Book Bilingual Officiant!

Alex was such a gem! We signed with Alex prior to the pandemic, and she was so kind and helpful with our re-scheduling. She was so great at guiding us through the many drafts of our ceremony transcripts, and really understood our humor. As the wedding approached, we were provided a rough draft of the ceremony transcript with all sorts of ideas of how to make it special and personal. She encouraged us to take our time crafting it to make it our own. We had some unforeseen situations during our ceremony (father of the groom was missing during the parent commemoration) and she just rolled with the punches. She was so great, communicative, well prepared, and truly officiated such a beautiful ceremony. Thank you Alex!

Highly recommended officiant!!!

I am so happy that I found Alexandra to be the officiant for our wedding! Since day 1, she was responsive, thoughtful, flexible, enthusiastic and so much more. I loved the variety she provided with personalizing our ceremony, and how receptive she was with my ideas. She took into consideration my ideas for incorporating spanish and english portions throughout, provided ideas with ways to include all members of our bridal party into the ceremony, and assisted in fine-tuning details with our unity portion. She was professional, respectful, timely, and I would highly recommend her to everyone!
Thank you again for leaving a wonderful impression and memory on our big day :)

Excellent and professional Bilingual Officiant

My wife and I were really trying to find both an affordable and bilingual officiant for our wedding. My wife is Mexican and I’m white so it was really important for us to combine elements of both cultures in our ceremony and wedding.

After a couple weeks of searching, we had a phone call with Alexandra and we knew she was the officiant we wanted. She was very professional, spoke excellent Spanish, and even helped us turn out some vague ideas we had into an amazing ceremony that felt cohesive and personal.

She was very upfront about her services and even suggested ways we could save money with the ceremony. I cannot recommend her enough.
