I immediately want to emphasize not just how amazing Alice is but how important it is to invest in an excellent officiant. The ceremony set the tone so beautifully and I’ll never forget how calm and in love I felt during it.
Alice worked with us to make sure all the logistics were set and that we we felt represented and excited about our ceremony. She got us so excited and made us feel so supported and I cannot suggest her highly enough to make your day feel special and joyous.
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Brigitte! It was a joy to stand with and support you and Joe as you declared your vows. Thank you for the honor – and for affirming the value of investing in a professional officiant. Wishing a special couple the happiest marriage!

Absolutely Amazing!
Alice is absolutely amazing! Since our wedding, we've had so many people compliment that it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever seen. Alice is professional and organized, and made us feel comfortable being honest about what we wanted. She heard all of our input and created the most beautiful ceremony that perfectly described us. What she wrote and how she celebrated the start of our marriage was truly a gift. We can't thank her enough!
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Thank you Norah! It was a pleasure to help you make your ceremony vision a reality, and I'll always think of you and Schuyler when I'm near high Falls :) Wishing you the best!

The BEST decision for the most important part of the day
When looking for someone to marry us, we were at a loss! My amazing wedding planner found Alice and at our first zoom
meeting I just knew that she was THE person we had to have! She was calm and professional, listening to what was important to us (in life, and a ceremony) and offered some unique thoughts that we could include. After booking Alice, she helped us create a beautiful, personalized ceremony (that made our guest rave about during our reception!) and helped us include our boys (1&6) to show the “official” creation of our family which was just as important to us as our union as husband and wife. Alice is kind, Thoughtful, sincere and calming! She walked us through everything with cues during the ceremony helped us enjoy one another and our union - even when we were uncomfortable with all eyes on us! Do yourself a favor and chat with Alice while planning your nuptials- you will NOT be disappointed!
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Dear Nicole, Making your family official was a highlight of my year. Seeing your 6 year old pulling the baby down the aisle before you with such care, announcing, "Here comes Our Mommy" brought this wedding pro to tears. And watching the way you and Jona cared for them and their emotional response to the ceremony gave me hope for our future! You are a remarkable couple and it was my honor to usher you into your marriage and bright future together. Sending love to you all! (And the goats! LOL)

Absolute Perfection
Working with Alice Soloway as our Wedding Celebrant was absolutely perfect and painless! From the very first conversation, we knew we had found the right person. She was pleasant, loving, communicative and organized, reassuring us every step of the way that we would end up with a Ceremony & Vows that would reflect who we are. We felt guided and supported through the entire process.
Her questionnaires pulled out exactly the right information from us, and combined with our conversations, she wrote a piece that celebrated our unconventional love story in the most beautiful way. We worked together to revise and tweak the details, and the whole exercise was smooth as silk. The section to remember family members who passed was particularly thoughtful, and brought us and our loved ones to (happy and wistful) tears.
During the ceremony, Alice was very present, her delivery warm, human and full of love and humor. Her whole self was present in the moment and it created a space for us and our guests to really be in the moment as well. Both Stephen and I could not be happier with the entire proceeding and the outcome. More than a few family and friends made a point afterward to tell us how wonderful Alice was… and we wholeheartedly agree! I’ll say it again: absolute perfection. Thank you, Alice!
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Daria! Thank you for your thoughtful review. I loved working with you! I appreciated the collaboration and your attention to detail. I could feel the love between you and loved pronouncing you "married!" Wishing you the happiest life together!

Couldn't be happier!
We could not have asked for someone better to officiate our day. Alice was available for us on very short notice and made the entire process painless for us. We did not have to worry about anything and felt listened to and respected. Alice provided timelines for everything needed, which was a HUGE help! She took our story and made it into a beautiful ceremony that we will remember forever. 10/10 recommend!

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 :)
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Dear T and L, I was teary witnessing your emotion as you honored your parents who were watching your wedding from around the world. Thank you for your vision, intention and heartfelt appreciation. Wishing you good health and happiness, always!

The perfect personal ceremony
My husband and I are so pleased that we chose Alice to officiate our wedding in November. We were looking for a ceremony that would be non-religious, and feel personal and intimate. Alice went above and beyond to deliver! We had guests coming up to us all night telling us how much they enjoyed the ceremony, and how much it really reflected us as a couple. One of my friends even thought Alice was an old family friend based on how she spoke about us and our relationship! Alice made the entire process seamless and easy for us, and put us at ease from the first time we spoke with her. I would highly recommend Alice to anyone looking for a beautiful personalized wedding ceremony.
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Dear Claire, I'm so glad you were able to make your wedding day happen, despite the ups and downs of the pandemic. Thank you for trusting me with your unique love story. It was a pleasure to deliver your ceremony and pronounce you married!
We met Alice through Everly Studios as part of a package deal. When we first started the process, Alice met with us through zoom to plan and discuss the details and breakdown of the in-person ceremony. She walked us through and asked about our preference of wording and the story of how we met. We were very satisfied with Alice's professionalism and communication. We have family members who do not speak English and we wanted the ceremony to be inclusive. Alice was willing to help us by providing a transcript of the ceremony and we were able to translate it in advance. During the ceremony, she was very graceful and welcoming and made the experience wonderful. We kept the ceremony quick (just as we wanted) but it still felt incredibly special. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant!
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Dear Jeannie and Nick, your early morning, intimate garden wedding was a delight. I'm glad your guests were happy with the ceremony! Sending love and best wishes to you and Jeannie as you begin married life!

Excellent Officiant
Alice was a great partner and guide through our wedding planning and ceremony. From our first meeting Alice made us feel comfortable and confident that we had found the right person to officiate our wedding. She made space and listened to what we wanted and gave us guidance and examples for all the parts we hadn’t thought of!
Her process and website are really helpful and were a fun way to have us stop and think about our relationship and the journey we have been on leading to our marriage. She walked us through everything, no detail too small, so when it came to day of we knew exactly what to expect.
Our ceremony was beautiful. Having Alice by our side was very calming as she shared our story with our guests and lead us through our vows. She made sure we knew what was coming next and that we were happy, comfortable and focused on each other throughout the whole ceremony.
We can’t speak highly enough about Alice, she will truly be a great partner in making your wedding day exactly what you want it to be.
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Dear Michelle, Thank you for including me in your wedding day love! It was wonderful to co-create and then perform your ceremony, and I enjoyed being welcomed by your friends and family as we all worked together to bring your intimate backyard wedding to life. Sending love, and wishing you the happiest life together!

The best wedding officiant
We couldn't have dreamed of finding a wedding officiant as wonderful as Alice! From our very first phone call to the wedding day itself, Alice made us feel at ease throughout the journey by listening carefully to what we wanted and providing gentle guidance on the things we weren't sure about. Alice is a beautiful writer and we loved getting to review what she had written for our ceremony ahead of time so we knew what to expect.
On our wedding day, Alice met us before the ceremony and talked us through some of the key moments, which made us feel very comfortable going into it. She delivered the ceremony flawlessly with the perfect balance of emotion and confidence. We were both able to be very present during the ceremony because we knew that Alice had it under control, and so many of our guests commented on what a special ceremony it was. Thanks to Alice, we will forever have wonderful memories from our wedding ceremony.
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Dear Amy, working with you and Andy was a delight. I loved your story (especially the ring part) and can't help wonder if maybe some lucky couple met at your wedding :) Your wedding pros were indeed pros and the entire experience was relaxed and full of love. Thank you for including me in your day. Wishing you the happiest marriage!

Alice is the best of the best
We found Alice 3 weeks prior to our wedding. Although we gave her short notice to work with, she met us where we were at with kindness, compassion and excitement. Alice was there for us in a way the other vendors weren’t. She kept us calm and grounded, and made sure we were comfortable with her words and the message she would be portraying about our love story.
Her experience and skill as a wedding officiant allowed her to extract the essence of our relationship and our core values.
Alice was able to present at our ceremony in a way that left our friends and family in tears and laughter.
Our family and friends are still raving about Alice, saying it was the best ceremony they’ve ever been to.
We couldn’t recommend Alice enough!
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Dear Allison and Steve, Thank you for sharing your essence and values with me. It was so easy to work with you that three weeks felt like I've known you forever. Wishing you the happiest life together!

Pure magic. Alice is exceptional. Every guest we've spoken to has commented on how our wedding was honestly one of the most unique, intimate and personal ceremonies they have witnessed. Fantastic to work with and very talented in what she does. She brought such good energy not only on our special day but in every touch base and conversation we had with her. Will recommend and compliment her work endlessly!

Alice Soloway is THE BEST!
I had the amazing opportunity to meet Alice in 2019 when we were originally planning my wedding for May of 2020. Although the world had other plans, and we eventually moved the wedding to July 2021, Alice never missed a beat. As our plans kept changing, Alice was there with unique, creative ideas to make sure that our story was reflected beautifully in our ceremony. Alice is the living definition of creativity. She is the most patient, caring person with a heart of gold. The work that she put in to make our ceremony unique and full of love was miraculous and unforgettable. Our ceremony was so thoughtfully created by her that after our wedding was over, so many people asked us if Alice was a close friend!! Almost a year later, I am still dreaming about the ceremony as it still brings tears to my eyes. Choose Alice to turn your ceremony into a dream. I am so lucky and grateful that I chose her for mine!!

Incredibly Moving and Personal
Silence. You could hear a pin drop as Alice’s words kept everyone rapt. She communicated my son and daughter-in-law’s love story with wit and charm. She even managed to discuss their life challenges in a positive and uplifting way. So many people came up to me after the ceremony and commented on how much they loved the ceremony and enjoyed learning about the happy couple. The beautiful ceremony set the tone for the rest of the event. Kudos to Alice. I highly recommend her to other couples.

Our Perfect Ceremony
We had an incredible wedding day. One of the biggest reasons our big day was so special was because of the meaningful ceremony that was written for us. We are two socially anxious individuals, when we first met Alice she instantly put us at ease. Alice listened intently as we described every aspect of our relationship. The questions included in our interview packet, that we filled out at our own pace, were meaningful and it was a delight to revisit specific chapters of our relationship. The ceremony was written flawlessly with a perfect pace and carefully selected words. I honestly could not have asked for a better summation of our relationship, intentions and hope for the future of our marriage.
Alice Soloway, Uncommon Wedding Officiant and Celebrant's reply:
Hi Sam, it was my joy to write your ceremony, and to capture your love, intentions and hopes for the future. I'm glad you found the Questionnaires meaningful! Wishing you and Jyl continued love and happiness.

Alice made our zoom wedding extra special
We recently got married and Alice was our officiant. We spoke with many officiants and we are extremely happy we worked with Alice! We had a zoom wedding and were not really sure what to expect. Alice was very helpful every step of the way. She was very warm and profesional and made us feel comfortable and calm when we had the pre wedding jitters.
We have already recommended Alice to many of our friends!

Excellent experience with Alice!
My husband and I hired Alice to officiant our wedding on zoom and she was amazing! We had tons of questions and she was available for phone calls, emails and she did a zoom with us too to go over everything.
She had us fill out questionnaires about our relationship and from that wrote out a beautiful and heartfelt story of our love which she read at the ceremony along with the vows. Both of our families were so impressed with her warmth and kindness.
Alice made us feel so comfortable the entire time and we had no doubt that we could trust her to make this a special ceremony for us.
We highly recommend Alice Soloway!
