Marissa Sent on 03/02/2024Best Officiant in the Game!
Alisa is a true professional and an absolute master of her craft.
I first got to see Alisa in action at Promise Ridge for my best friend's wedding. It was beautiful. She brings you in and makes it the most meaningful, personal, celebration of love. Once we got engaged, I knew I wanted to have Alisa perform our ceremony as well!
At other weddings (non-Alisa officiated), I often felt that the ceremony was super short and anti-climactic. It's your WEDDING day, and your ceremony should also reflect that excitement of the occasion. We wanted a ceremony that was meaningful, engaging, and likewise, filled with love, and Alisa sure did deliver.
From the start, Alisa makes you feel comfortable and has all the details under control. Completing her couples questionnaire was also very special to us and really makes you hone in on what it is you love about your partner. The draft of the ceremony, from start to finish, was super detailed. It also included the full processional line-up and was SO easy to hand over to our maître d' so they knew exactly how things were going to go. For example, because she provided the last few sentences of the ceremony script, the venue could anticipate the end, cue the music, and open the doors. Everything ran so seamlessly, largely due to Alisa's meticulous attention to detail and organization (and we didn't even do a formal rehearsal)!
Now... the feedback! During our cocktail hour, we received SO many compliments on how special the ceremony was. We were asked who was the goddess, Disney princess, master officiant, and how on earth did we find her?! I was told by the guest of my friend, who I was meeting for the first time, that even he teared up! Alisa crafts your ceremony in a way that is so deeply touching and reflective of your love that it inevitably pulls on the heartstrings. (I knew this would happen and provided some "happy tears" tissue packs in anticipation, ha!) And now I'm tearing up again just writing this!
We cannot recommend Alisa enough. If you're looking for a meaningful ceremony filled with all the feels and jammed pack with love, look no further and work with Alisa asap. -

Promise Ridge owned and run by Alisa as both the wedding venue and officiant exceeded all expectations my husband and I had for our special, intimate day. From Alisa's professionalis, helpful knowledge and absolutely heartfelt ceremony were beyond anything we could have imagined! The venue was magical, and everything we could have hoped for when thinking about having our wedding outdoors, in the mountains with our nearest and dearest family members. The attention to detail of the venue and Alisa's ceremony were nothing short of amazing. Listening to her tell my husband and I's story during the ceremony had me smiling from ear to ear the entire time!! We would highly recommend Promise Ridge without a doubt for those who are willing to keep a small, intimate wedding count in a magical setting. -

Alisa is the best!
We got married at Promise Ridge by Alisa on 10/10/25 and it was the most beautiful day we could have ever hoped for! Alisa is so kind and passionate. I knew we were in great hands from our very first phone call with her a year prior. She is very open-minded and passed no judgment when we wanted to approach our wedding in a more non-traditional way. On our wedding day, she was so welcoming and attentive. She even adapted quickly when two of our guests arrived late. Our ceremony was absolutely magical. The words Alisa spoke were so meaningful and unique to us. We will cherish Alisa and our wedding day forever. -

Alisa was amazing from start to finish!!! My initial consult with her sealed the deal that she was the right person to marry us. The energy she gives off is not only calming, but also such excitement and joy. I cannot say enough about how she brought such ease to the process of our micro wedding. Alisa answered all of my questions on a timely manner, and trust me, I asked a lot! You can tell she really immerses herself into getting to know the couples she is marrying! I loved how she was open to the things that were important my spouse and I, while also giving guidance and feedback to the things we were unsure about. Her property, Promise Ridge, felt like it was out of the most romantic, dreamiest of movies. I was worried that my own nerves were going to take away from the day; but Alisa’s reassurance and “behind the scenes” happenings washed all of that away! To be honest, I look forward to my husband and I reviewing our vows someday with her, that is how great working with her was! -

We feel so blessed to have had Alisa as our wedding celebrant! She made our ceremony truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, she guided us through every step of the process with such care and professionalism. She provided helpful resources, including a guide for writing our vows and detailed info on how to apply for our marriage certificate, which took so much stress off our shoulders. She gave us access to her personalized video tutorials and self-created guides.
What really stood out was how personalized and emotional our ceremony felt. She created thoughtful questionnaires for both of us, and then beautifully wove our answers together into a ceremony that felt intimate, genuine, and uniquely us. She made it feel like she had known us for years, and she even found ways to include our guests, which made everyone feel part of the moment.
We had so many guests tell us how special and meaningful the ceremony was—and that’s all thanks to her. We can’t recommend Alisa highly enough. She has a true gift for what she does. -

Alisa, was truly amazing. She made the ceremony feel so personal and meaningful, and we could tell she genuinely cared about making our day special. Her warmth and professionalism made everything feel so natural and relaxed, which was exactly what we wanted.
Thank you for creating memories we’ll cherish forever!

Our perfect day at promise ridge
Our wedding day was absolute perfection thanks to Alisa. From the moment I met Alisa over the phone, she was very attentive and informative. That initial call took almost an hour just because she’s so thorough and detail oriented. This alone made us feel very trusting and confident in her abilities. It was no surprise that we booked with her immediately. She maintained communication for the next few months through email to iron out the details for our special day. She had us fill out questionnaires so she could understand us both as individuals and as a couple. We didn’t quite know it then, but with this knowledge, she would craft the most perfect ceremony with very personal touch for the both of us. She even emailed us a reminder when it came time to get our marriage license!! Fast forward to Wedding Day! Meeting Alisa in person for the first time felt like we’ve known her forever. She was all smiles and just full of positive energy. When we were unloading our wedding cake from the car, we realized it had fallen over unfortunately. She did not waste any time and quickly acted to get the cake to the kitchen to be worked on so we could still have our cake cutting ceremony as planned. She even took the time to cleverly bring the story up during the cake cutting to relate it back to us that nothing always works out as planned, but more importantly, it’s about what you do during these times with your partner that will define that moment. We could not have imagined a better ceremony. She was able to capture who we are and paint it with words to those in attendance. The way she spoke had everyone in tears. When I locked my eyes with my partner… as the ceremony was taking place, we both just knew how right it felt that Alisa was to marry us. We cannot praise her enough, but we would be wrong to forget another very important detail. The VENUE!!!!! We know it also serves as her home and I’m sure plenty of us are envious of that fact. This home/venue is truly so beautiful. Alisa must have her hands full keeping this place always looking so stunning. I remember talking with husband that if we ever had to do it again, it would always be Promise Ridge each time. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to both celebrate and share such an important day with you at your beautiful home. Thank you.

Alisa is amazing at her craft and completely exceeded our expectations as an officiant on our wedding day. Her storytelling abilities are unmatched and our ceremony felt extremely personalized.
Alisa has superb communication, expert insight, and an overall warmth about her that helped calm my nerves on such a big day. My husband and I can’t recommend her enough! -

The perfect ceremony thanks to the best celebrant
To say that Alisa is a master of her craft is an understatement. Working with Alisa to create our custom ceremony was the easiest and less stressful part of our wedding ceremony planning process, we’d even dare saying it was pure bliss. From the first meeting where she starts capturing very generally what our goals and hopes are for the ceremony we were already reassured we had made the right decision in choosing Alisa. And what a relief it was to know that early on that there would be one less thing to worry about. We got married in St. Thomas, USVI and having never been there it was helpful to have Alisa help us navigate all the legalities of wedding licenses and the like.
Alisa captured more details about our story and about ourselves through her personalized couples questionnaire and even though we were late to send the responses (Sorry, Alisa!) she was still very timely and thorough with every single detail. Along the way she kept checking in with technical and logistic details, helping us stay on top of our wedding planner and facilitating other tasks for us like providing us with guides and links for writing our vows. She was the unofficial second wedding planner we didn’t know we needed!
Once the wedding week arrived, Alisa spent the week making sure everyone in our wedding party was prepared. She tailored a beautiful ceremony that included all of our family and friends (it was a small ceremony of 20 people).
Alisa went the extra mile by translating the ceremony to Spanish to make sure Pablo’s mom felt included as she doesn’t speak English. She brought printed copies for each person reading in the ceremony to prevent any last minute oops. The cherry on top was the personalized cup of life she had made for our ceremony inscribed with our family name and the date of the wedding.
After the ceremony ended and the entire group had dried their tears of joy we have pretty much every guests tell us how magnificent and special our ceremony had been. Some of them even said this was the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony they had ever witnessed and to be honest, I’d have to agree with them, I know I’m biased but she truly captured our essence as individuals and brought us in union as a couple.
We’ll be forever grateful to Alisa for making our special day truly memorable and remarkable. -

Andrue Sent on 12/30/2024Alisa is the friend you always want to officiate your wedding!
I really don't tend to write reviews, but I thought it important to go out of my way to really express how great it was working with Alisa. She really gets to know you both as a couple and individually and knows how to effectively tell your love story. Also she is just a great person and personality in general. My wife and I got numerous compliments on how personal and intimate our ceremony was and a large part of that was due to Alisa's efforts, attention to details and presence she brings to officiating. It really felt like we had our good friend marry us. I'd also like to think we made a new friend in the process with Alisa. She's truly special and gifted at what she does, and outside of choosing your wedding date/venue, she should be the next vendor at top of your list to book as your officiant. -

Matthew Sent on 11/14/2024Like Stepping into a Storybook Dream
We met Alisa at the recommendation of our wedding planner, and we're so thrilled we did. Our first meeting was over a year ago, where she explained to us her process in detail and supplied a questionnaire to complete, which we did about 7 months before our ceremony. From there, we reviewed and revised several drafts of our ceremony. She nailed it, and was so helpful throughout process in offering suggestions and answering questions as we completed our vows. On our wedding day, she told the story of our relationship in crisp and articulate detail, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house (including mine). I would recommend her without hesitation, and we will miss interacting with her. If we could give her 100 stars, we would! Thank you, Alisa! -

Alisa is truly the best. After our close friend (who was initially going to officiate our wedding) was no longer able to attend, we reached out to Alisa about 2 months prior to our wedding. We are so happy that we found her.
Even on short notice, she was able to put together an amazing ceremony script that made it seem like she, and all our guests, have known my wife & I forever. She delivered a beautiful ceremony that was everything we could have asked for, and more. We even had numerous guests come up to us during the reception to compliment Alisa and say how amazing she was!
We can't thank her enough, and we can't recommend her highly enough! -

Words cannot describe our wedding day. Alisa is FANTASTIC. She is extremely responsive and on top of it, and helped make what is typically a stressful day into one that we will remember for the rest of our lives. The venue is top notch. The pictures are beautiful, but somehow do not do the venue itself justice. Her ceremony was beautiful and well thought out. I am so thrilled we chose Alisa and Promise Ridge as our venue for our special day. I would absolutely recommend her 10/10 times for anybody who is considering an intimate microwedding. Thank you Alisa! -

Seth Sent on 08/23/2024The word that keeps coming to mind—that we keep hearing... "Magical"
My wife Michelle and I are professional musicians, and much of our work manifests as wedding entertainers. Additionally, we’re at an age when among our friends, weddings are occurring more frequently than ever. So, when I say that Alisa was the most perfect celebrant that my wife and I could ever have hoped for, I do so as someone who attends quite a number of weddings each year, and who’s attended more than ever in recent seasons.
Alisa’s thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and enthusiasm around learning our histories, our values, our dreams, and the the aspects of ourselves that my Michelle and I see and celebrate in one another culminated in a ceremony that felt so unique and so authentically us that it felt almost too magical to be real. Her words, her guidance and direction, her warmth, and her ability to include aspects from our myriad of diverse ancestral traditions (Italian-American, Scotch-Irish, Cherokee, Ashkenazi; just to name a few) provided us with the ceremony we both always knew we wanted, but I never believed could exist.
Thankfully, my wife believed; and we both knew it when she found Alisa.
If you desire a uniquely magical ceremony that informs and enriches the celebration of your love; if you want to share that love with friends and family through the authentic telling of your shared story from your own perspectives; and if you wish to incorporate the vastness of traditions that feel dear to you and your spouse… hire Alisa. -

Michelle Sent on 08/23/2024Pure Magic!
Alisa performed the most magical and heartfelt ceremony for our wedding! The way she really understood the essence of our bond shone through her words. Her perfectly crafted retelling of our story had everyone in attendance feeling so connected to us. My mother described it as powerful, and it truly was the most powerful, sacred experience for us. The way she wove in traditions from our respective backgrounds created a ceremony that honored us and felt deeply spiritual. At every point in the process, she helped everything feel easy and grounded and rooted in love and celebration. She offered guidance when we needed it, and she encouraged our unique connection to shine. I couldn’t imagine a person more well suited to this work than Alisa. She is clearly answering her calling as a celebrant! -

Lorren Sent on 07/23/2024The magic of Alisa
We had the opportunity to have our small wedding at Promise Ridge, designed and led by Alisa. It is hard to put into words how special she was able to make us feel. Alisa was able to capture our spirit and values within our ceremony and it felt like she somehow transformed into an octopus during the day - she was everywhere, arms outstretched to offer support and any kind of organization or planning we needed on the day of. We both felt so held and known by Alisa and she was able to design an event that was reflective of our love and also our community. She is highly intelligent, empathetic, judicious, and expeditious; she problem-solved on the spot and was able to roll through five different weather systems in the same hour. Alisa is an absolute pleasure to talk to, warm in her demeanor, and kind in her approach. Accommodating would be an understatement - she went above and beyond on every possible occasion of the day. Being in her home felt like receiving a hug from a tree inside of a cloud. -

5 stars doesn't feel like enough for Alisa! Having her officiate our wedding was easily the biggest highlight. She crafted a wedding ceremony that was so deeply personal and felt like "us" - we were able to bring our guests into our love story and have them feel like the knew us better and feel even more excited to celebrate our love.
The planning process was also really special. Her process of creating the ceremony was extremely detailed, with a questionnaire that allowed us to really reflect on our journey and what we love most about each other. She was very responsive and worked with us to ensure that the ceremony, and our vows, flowed and really told our story to our guests.
Overall, her officiating was the highlight of the day and it was easily the most complimented part of our wedding. If you want the perfect officiant, look no further. -

Everything about our wedding day was perfect because of Alisa. She made the planning process incredibly easy and provided clear information on everything we would need to know. She connected us a wonderful caterer and photographer who were equally as professional. Promise Ridge was even more beautiful in person! We didn't feel a need to go heavy on the decor because the natural environment was already stunning. Alisa made sure that all our guests felt included in our special day. We highly recommend Alisa to anyone planning a small wedding! -

Promise Ridge is pure magic
My husband and I just got married at Promise Ridge and had an absolutely wonderful experience. I have been a part of many weddings, but have never experienced a ceremony as intimate and personal as ours. Alisa has a true gift for understanding and capturing a couple’s love story. Our ceremony was completely personalized to share our journey and left us and our guests in awe. The whole evening ran seamlessly, thanks to Alisa’s expertise and attention to detail. She ensured that everything flowed effortlessly, allowing us to take it all in without any worries or distractions. There were so many special moments Alisa included throughout our wedding that we'll cherish forever. Perhaps the best part of it all is the breathtaking venue. Pictures cannot even capture the true beauty and magic of Promise Ridge. We couldn't have asked for a more memorable and intimate wedding day. We will forever be grateful to Alisa for making our micro-wedding dreams a reality. -

Magical Ceremony
From start to finish, Alisa was amazing. She is very responsive, detail-oriented and personable. You can really tell the time and effort she puts into getting to know each of her clients and write their ceremonies through. Our best decision, outside of choosing each other, was choosing to have a very intimate micro-wedding at Promise Ridge with Alisa as our celebrant. We wanted intimate, vintage and unique with the aspect of being able to have our ceremony outside, and we really won the lottery with fall foliage, weather, and Alisa. I really couldn’t hold myself together from the emotions of just how perfect everything was; truly a magical experience. Our family couldn’t believe it and were continuing to rave about how special it was to be a part of something so magical and we already know that years down the line, they will still be in awe of the whole night, as will we. We are truly blessed and honored to have had Alisa tell our story and cannot wait to see all of the pictures and videos that came from our beautiful ceremony and venue to be able to relive the best night of our lives together! xoxox, Kari and Brandon -

I have been in over 15 weddings, and knew I didn't want a big wedding. My fiancé and I wanted something small and intimate with our closet family with a focus on the ceremony, and our vows. Alisa went above and beyond, what we could ever expect. She took every every effort to understand us and what we wanted. She had excellent communication throughout the process. Our guests were so impressed, with how smooth everything ran.
The location was gorgeous, perfect for a fall wedding. There was so much attention to detail. The food and cake were delicious. All of vendors also love working with Alisa, which made us more relaxed.
She was the perfect choice for us. -

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alisa Tongg Celebrant for my wedding, and I cannot express enough how amazing she made our special day. From the moment we met her, it was clear that Alisa's passion and dedication to her craft were unparalleled.

Alisa has an incredible gift for storytelling, and she expertly wove our unique love story into the ceremony. Every word she spoke resonated deeply with us and our guests. It was as if she had known us for years, capturing the essence of our relationship and sharing it with such sincerity and warmth. There wasn't a dry eye in the room!

Hannah Sent on 11/06/2022H is for heartfelt
Some couples care about the band, or the food, or the open bar, or the after party. We cared about throwing an amazing party too, but first we wanted to host a ceremony people would remember. That would not have been possible without Alisa.
Let me back up – after we got engaged, we racked our brains for a friend who could lend a personal touch to our ceremony. Ultimately we decided we wanted all of our guests to focus on enjoying themselves, so we started Googling officiants in our area. If you’ve been there – we feel your pain.
When we found Alisa’s Instagram and website, we were sold. Her approach is award-winning for a reason (and worth every penny – especially that couple’s questionnaire!). We both noticed how thoughtful and intentional she was about getting to know us, and still, we were blown away with how perfectly she told our story when we received the first draft of our ceremony. It was as if Alisa was a family friend, only with all the charisma, presence, storytelling skills, and years of experience only she brings as a celebrant.
We were lucky enough to see Alisa marry another couple shortly before our own wedding, and walked away so happy 1) to have met her, and 2) to have signed her for our special day. Alisa excels in front of a crowd, with an almost lyrical delivery that leaves people spellbound. If you want a ceremony that feels like it was written for you (spoiler alert: it will be!) and a script that won’t leave people fidgeting in their seats/eyeing the nearest exit, you need Alisa. Side note: if you want to write your own vows, Alisa’s tips are the best around. -

Wedding Day.
Alisa was simply amazing. She helped my husband and I find a way to incorporate our kids into the ceremony. She was thoughtful, patient, and was a stable rock when the moment of panic that “this is real” set in. She made the day perfect. Everyone at the ceremony was in awe by her and how she presented herself and the bridal party during this important moment. -

Thank you Alisa for the most perfect day!
There is a reason Alisa only has perfect reviews. She is truly a master of her craft.
My husband and I knew we wanted a small intimate ceremony. While doing some research we stumbled upon Alisa and Promise Ridge. The pictures of Promise Ridge online were stunning and the reviews for Alisa were all glowing.
We decided to take a leap of faith and went with an officiant we've never met in person at a venue we'll never see until our wedding day.
All I can say is thank the heavens we did. Alisa is an absolute gem of a person. She helped us turn our wedding vision into a reality and wrote us the most beautiful ceremony. Alisa was attentive throughout the planning process and orchestrated our wedding day in the most seamless way. Our attendees are still raving about how lovely our ceremony/wedding was.
If you're looking for something truly magical you can't go wrong with Alisa and Promise Ridge! -

Thank you, Alisa!!!
Alisa made our wedding day more special than we could have ever imagined. We chose to have a micro wedding at the beautiful Promise Ridge, and it was everything we had hoped for. Our guests were AMAZED with the ceremony Alisa created for us, and it was so special to be holding my partners hands, staring out in the ridge at the Living Wall, listening to her unite us. It’s something we will never forget! It was absolutely the story of US, so personal & special.
You know when you meet someone and can feel the good energy coming from them? That’s Alisa! Her energy is vibrant, positive, and genuine! That energy especially carries over from the ceremony to the rest of your night at Promise Ridge. We were gifted a Quaich cup during our wedding and Alisa knew exactly how to describe it the gift, how it’s used & have an impromptu unity ritual, it was, again, so special (I keep using that word but it’s the word we’ve been using to describe our wedding day ever since it happened!)
If you are looking for a celebrant or officiant for your wedding, look no further. If you are for any reason hesitating about Promise Ridge or a micro wedding in general, I will tell you it’s the best decision we’ve ever made. We toured 100-150 person wedding venues, and we can’t tell you how happy we are we chose our special day to be at Promise Ridge with Alisa. Thank you Alisa!! -

Angela Sent on 09/19/2022Stunning views, Spiritual ceremony, Perfect day!
Alisa is an INCREDIBLE celebrant. The ceremony she wrote for us was exceptional - it was so spiritual and the way it incorporated our loved ones was so very special. It was so personal to us. I expected it to be so much more templatized - we were blown away and SO pleased. My family was impressed as well.
She worked with us day-of to figure out if we were going to need cover from the rain. She transcribed the ceremony and sent it to us right after the wedding. She took additional photos that we've gotten to fawn over while we await the professional photos. She helped us escape the rain and she coordinated our vendors as they arrived so we didn't need to worry about herding cats before our first look. She even had the rain blown off the infinity deck before the guests arrived so that nothing would be too slick.
Alisa and Promise Ridge go hand-in-hand, and Promise Ridge is genuinely one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. You can't tour before you go, but don't let that deter you - I assure you that you'll be blown away. The view is spectacular. The vegetation is fantastic. You'll feel like you're dancing in the clouds. The pavilion offers the perfect respite from rain and the mural room is such a special place to share a moment with your partner before you say "I Do" together.
Promise Ridge was perfect. Alisa was perfect. If we could do it all again, we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Alisa! -

I couldn’t recommend promise ridge enough it was literally my fairytale wedding! Everyone was so professional and made me feel so comfortable.
My husband and I were blown away with how amazing Promise Ridge was. Between the ambiance and how wonderful Alisa was. We did a beautiful elopement and she made every minute feel like I was in a fairytale. Everyone can’t stop asking where we got married because of how beautiful our pictures were ! -

Absolutely dreamy and magical
It’s truly difficult to put into words what a beautiful experience we had here at promise ridge. It was whimsical, magical, ethereal. Alisa made us feel special, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. Her ceremony space is other worldly and I can say with honesty it’s one of the most beautiful spaces I’ve ever seen in all my years. Stepping in is like walking into another world.
She had an amazing attention to detail, and is a gifted storyteller. She made the moment about us and our love, and absolutely went to great lengths to make sure I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. My partner was comfortable, and so was I. We are both the type to be nervous in front of a group of people but Alisa made it the most comfortable environment and put us both at ease.
Alisa is a gem of a human being and it’s a blessing that she has opened up this space to be shared with couples, I am forever grateful for that. 10/10 would recommend and do it all over again!! -

Alisa's professionalism, organization and directness made our micro wedding preparation easy and stress free. Alisa is an amazingly spiritual celebrant who created a personalized ceremony that touched our souls and our inner spirit.
We began planning our wedding seven months in advance and Alisa was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns. Even up to and on our wedding day, we both felt relaxed and 100% confident that our ceremony would be exactly what we wanted.
Promise Ridge is more than a wedding venue, it's a place that will forever seal your love for each other. -

Ali Sent on 06/29/2022A wonderful wedding memory
We're very happy with our decision to hire Alisa. Alisa was remarkably passionate about marrying my fiance and me, and she delivered an exceptional experience and a beautiful memory. It was an honor to have Alisa as our celebrant. All the guests loved Alisa, and they specifically mentioned that in our conversations on the wedding day and how she made it wonderful. We can't thank her enough.
Alisa is not only passionate about marrying couples, but she's also very professional. She pays a lot of attention to the details that I would have never thought of, and those little details make a big difference in the final experience. She has created a timeline of the most critical tasks, follows up on those, and ensures everything is good. She has prepared a list of recommended vendors that were very helpful. That's how I found out about our dinner restaurant.
Don't think twice if you're looking for a celebrant to hire! I highly recommend Alisa. Also, if you'll have a small wedding, like less than 20 people, definitely ask her about the availability of her Promise Ridge location, as it is simply fascinating! -

Alisa was amazing from the very start. Thorough in explaining the process and easy to work with. She made our ceremony very personal to our story of how we met and the love we share. Quick and easy rehearsal to calm our nerves as well. We had a number of people come up to us and say it was the best wedding ever partly in due to the ceremony by Alisa. My uncle even said it and he had just finished his daughters wedding :). Would highly recommend Alisa and will definitely be recommending her to other engaged couples we know. -

The best decision we ever made was choosing to work with Alisa and get married at Promise Ridge. She made the process effortless and communicated throughout every moment. The venue she has created is absolutely spectacular and the picture perfect version of what we envisioned. Beyond that, Alisa wrote the most incredible ceremony that described our story so perfectly. When we began working with her, she took the time out to answer every question I had. The questionnaire she had my husband I complete allowed her to write our ceremony with love, intimacy, and complete authenticity. Throughout our ceremony, we laughed, we cried, and felt like an old friend who had been apart of our love story had written it. We are so incredibly thankful that Alisa opened her venue and her heart to create our dream wedding. -

Wow, just wow! Alisa crafted the most spectacular wedding ceremony that told our authentic love story and had impactful details woven throughout. It was truly the most exceptional experience of our lives; it quite literally felt as if Alisa was alongside of us through our journey as a couple. The ceremony was intimate and allowed our guests to be active participants. The ring blessing and Tree of Life Marriage Certificate Signing were just so us. Not only were the nuptials insanely special, Alisa created unique experiences throughout the remainder of our time at Promise Ridge. The crème brulee torching and marigold toss provided some of the most memorable photos of the night – all suggestions by Alisa. She thought of things we could only dream of and is truly a rockstar in this space.
Officiant doesn’t fully encompass everything that Alisa brings to the table - she’s the detailed oriented glue that pulls everything together to create moments you’ll never forget. She seamlessly collaborates with your vendors and calmly works through any issues that present on your day. She really is an exceptional talent and an even better person. And shoutout to her dad Philip who brought such a peaceful energy with him. What a team they make 😊 Thank you again Alisa, we are eternally grateful that you came into our lives and positively impacted us. -

Alisa was truly amazing, and I will be forever grateful for her. Planning a wedding in a pandemic was chaotic, emotionally challenging, and overall a complete mess LOL, but Alisa offered us a space to have an intimate ceremony with our closest family and friends, and made it personalized and special. Alisa makes sure she gets every detail that is most important to you included in your special day, and does it flawlessly. Also, let’s not forget about how GORGEOUS the ridge is. Alisa’s property is breathtaking and unique. I highly recommend Alisa to anyone who is looking to get married either on the ridge or off, she is a special human and I am forever grateful for her! -

Our micro wedding at Promise Ridge was absolutely an amazing experience. Alisa made our entire day perfection from start to finish. When we were originally looking at options, we were concerned we did not see the venue/space or meet Alisa prior to our wedding. Turns out, we had absolutely nothing to worry about. Promise Ridge was even more beautiful than the photos (we didn’t think this was possible!). Alisa made our ceremony so personal and special. She really took the time to combine Jewish and Catholic traditions to make our interfaith ceremony unique and meaningful. Our families (who originally were skeptical of our choice to have a non traditional 20 person wedding) were also blown away with no complaints-which let us tell you is not an easy task! Alisa took the time to put together a ceremony unique to us as a couple. She was so flexible with all of the personalities (and our families have a few big ones) and went above and beyond with all details. -

Promise Ridge Micro-wedding
My husband and I recently were married by Alisa at her at-home ceremony space, Promise Ridge. And let me tell you, our day was perfect. Alisa was always responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and quickly answered all of my 1727 emails. She crafted the most beautiful and heartfelt ceremony speech for our day, you would think she had known us for years. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house. Promise Ridge was breathtaking. Pictures really do not do it justice. I was so nervous leading up to our day since we were not able to see Promise Ridge prior to our day, but everything went so smoothly and wonderfully. If anyone is considering a micro-wedding I would highly recommend Alisa and Promise Ridge. -

A month ago, my husband and I were married at Alisa’s at-home ceremony space, Promise Ridge. Since then, not a single day has passed where one of us hasn’t remarked how perfect our wedding day was, and this is singlehandedly thanks to Alisa. Simply put, she is a pleasure to work with and just a marvelous (and incredibly talented) human being. From the first phone call, she put us at ease about planning one of the most important days of our lives. Alisa captured the very essence of our 14-year relationship in a gorgeous and intimate ceremony, which speaks to her immense passion for her craft. Alisa’s philosophy on vow writing also completely and totally dissipated the pressure to write our own. In fact, it led us to sit down and candidly discuss our hopes for the future together and what we genuinely need from one another. On the day of the wedding, Alisa was a much-needed calming yet guiding presence. The forecast was dismal, but she went above and beyond by orchestrating the timing of the ceremony perfectly between storms and sneaking off to capture this gorgeous picture while we exchanged vows. As if this wasn’t enough, Alisa and her family were gracious and welcoming as we extended our celebration at their home. This review merely scratches the surface of why we can’t get over how flawless our wedding day was. Needless to say, we can’t recommend Alisa and Promise Ridge enough to any couple seeking a unique, meaningful, and unforgettable wedding day! -

We could not have asked for a better wedding venue and celebrant than Promise Ridge and Alisa. The entire day was perfect. The views you get while at Promise Ridge are priceless. Alisa made sure everything was seamless from the second we arrived. As a celebrant, Alisa could not have been better. She made the ceremony so personal to us and told the story of our journey perfectly. Everything about the venue was first class - the infinity deck, the pavilion, the breathtaking views, the photos (Dearly Beloved Weddings), the food (Chef Kara’s Kitchen), the music (Penn Strings), the florist (Ruby Rivers Floral), and the service. There was not one thing we came away with and said “we wish that was better.” If you are considering using Alisa and this venue, do not even hesitate. We strongly recommend Promise Ridge, Alisa, and the other vendors we mentioned. We are so thankful to Alisa, her father and everyone who made our day unforgettable. -

Where do I begin with Alisa?! After a short meeting with my now husband and me, it felt like she had known us our entire lives. Shortly after the initial meeting Alisa put together a draft for our ceremony that was exactly what we were hoping for. It was expertly composed and yet very personal to us Fast forward to our wedding day and Alisa was professional, kind and a great calming presence. We could tell we were in good hands immediately and the ceremony itself did not disappoint! She conducted an impeccable ceremony that was so smooth you would’ve thought we had been rehearsing it for weeks. After the ceremony, we had swathes of guests remark on how great Alisa was and how it was the best ceremony they had ever witnessed. We could not be more thankful that we had Alisa officiate our special day and could not recommend her more!! -

Best Ever.
If you are looking for a place to get married, look no further. Alisa was incredible from start to finish. She crafted a wedding with myself and my husband’s responses to questions and she fully captured us. The ceremony was everything I could ask for and felt it was made by someone we knew rather than some cookie cutter pieced together thing. The ceremony space itself is just...woah! Spectacular. We had a microwedding of 20 people and they raved about the space and food. We had the sushi, charcuterie, creme brûlée cake and bubbly and it did not disappoint. Every detail was planned and graciously choreographed. My wedding looked like it came from an Anthropologie style magazine. Alisa has a gift beyond the physical realm of weddings and this place can only be described as magical. I am SO thankful for Alisa at Promise Ridge. -

Our love story came to life!
My husband and I were married at Promise Ride on October 24th. I had contacted Alisa after our Plan A wedding turned into Plan B amid the pandemic. In my initial conversation with Alisa as I explained our need to nix our plans of a traditional 125-guest wedding, I instantly felt a sense of comfort and knew we were making the right decision to work with her, not only as our celebrant but as venue host for our micro wedding at Promise Ridge. The thought of getting married in someone’s backyard at first sounded intimidating and I was concerned it wouldn’t hold as much grandeur as our original vision. However, I promise you Alisa’s venue space is beyond anything you could imagine. As soon as you walk through the arbor your heart will skip a beat as you’re instantly swept off to a dream land. Every detail is considered, the personal touches are stunning, and the backdrop of the mountains is picture-perfect.
Alisa’s ceremony was pure magic. She perfectly depicted our love story and delivered a truly heartfelt and engaging ceremony for us and our 17 wedding guests that hit every emotion – she brought my 10-year old stepdaughter to (happy) tears. Alisa’s unique approach is incomparable and she embraced our need to host a virtual streaming component of our ceremony for my husband’s family in Canada, incorporating this seamlessly.
As I reflect on our experience and wedding day, I’m left feeling as if I’ve been friends with Alisa for years, when in actuality I’ve spent 3 hours with her. Her personalized style and gentle demeanor made us feel as if we were the only couple she was working with, knowing full well she is busy managing celebrations for many others. In the end, Alisa gave us the best gift - the ability to spend our wedding day genuinely in the moment enjoying love while she took care of the rest. This has been a truly unique year for weddings and as a result we thought we weren’t going to be able to have our dream wedding. However, I can confidently say Alisa and her venue gave us an even better dream wedding, one we never could have imagined on our own.

You should hire Alisa. These rave 5-star reviews are here for a reason. Alisa is the gold standard for intensely personalized, non-denominational ceremonies. All 20 of the guests (husband and I included) raved about her for days following our microwedding at Promise Ridge. She immediately put all of us at ease and clearly explained every step of the event - a necessity when you are having a rehearsal-less wedding. Her voice is somehow both calming AND enthusiastic. We wanted a ceremony that was not religious but still gave a deep reverence for the commitment we were about to share, and she delivered. I cannot possibly picture a different or better ceremony for the two of us. We adore you, Alisa, and whenever you start your second career reading audiobooks I will listen to every one! :) -

On the day of our wedding it rained, Alisa called us the morning of to discuss 3 different options of where to have the ceremony given the weather conditions. She immediately made us feel at ease with whatever option we chose and assured us it would be a beautiful turnout regardless of anything . We chose to have our ceremony moved under the paviliion and it was the most beautifully staged ceremony space we have ever seen. The views were absolutely breathtaking!
Our ceremony was one of of kind, created specifically for my husband and I. It felt as if Alisa had been a close friend for years and was able to deliver our story in the most beautiful way.
Alisa is truly gifted as what she does. Her soul is beautiful and energy is absolutely radiant!

My now-husband and I contacted Alisa at the end of May this past year for an October wedding at Promise Ridge. From the beginning, she was prompt and professional with her responses, and she also gave us a few other suggestions for options for a ceremony space. Our ceremony was last week with 16 guests and everyone said it was such a personal and lovely ceremony. One called it "unbearably adorable and absolutely beautiful." My cousin was surprised we didn't know her beforehand! Alisa was able to zero in on what made our relationship special, and we also got a written copy of the whole ceremony the next day. I can't recommend her highly enough. As far as Promise Ridge, the location is beautiful and perfect for a very small wedding. -

I wish I could give Alisa ten stars. My husband Connor and I first met Alisa when she performed Connor's cousin's wedding ceremony.

Alisa was so supportive throughout the entire process, always ready to answer questions and even offered examples of vows to help us write them. The day of the wedding, she was so kind and attentive; she met our families, took beautiful pictures of my husband and me, and made our day so special. It felt like we had known her for years. A friend told me that he "had never been to a wedding where the ceremony was the main event," and that's exactly what we wanted: to make celebrating our love story the central part of the day.

Alisa Tongg is simply the best of the best. One of the first decisions of our wedding planning journey was that my husband and I really wanted to have a ceremony that reflected us as individuals and as a couple. Alisa delivered that and more.
Our ceremony was emotional, personal and beautifully preformed and written. Our guests will not stop talking about how wonderful it was, and there was not a dry eye!
Alisa is also a pleasure to work with. Not only did she write the best ceremony, but she worked very closely with both of us and really got to know who we are. She helped both of us write our vows and offered guidance when we got stuck. Not to mention she was SO sweet and supportive, even when this bride was nervous about crying during her vows!

I'm not sure where to even begin - Alisa is amazing! I'm so very happy that we had the honor to have Alisa as our celebrant for our wedding ceremony. The ceremony that she put together for us was so beautiful and real. She has a way with words and a fantastic way with storytelling. Our entire ceremony, from the ring blessing to the wine ceremony to our vows - everything was so personal and perfect to us. Not only did we love hearing our story in such an awesome way, but our guests said the same thing. There were actually some parts of our story that our families were hearing for the first time (like for the fact that my crush for my now husband has gone on since high school) and I thought that was so great.
If you're looking for an amazing celebrant that will tell your story (and maybe cause a few happy tears) - reach out to Alisa. I'm so glad she was a part of our day and would relive it all over again if I could.
