    Fantastic Pastor

    Pastor Norman was one of 3 pastors we interviewed for our wedding and I pretty much knew immediately he'd be our choice. First off, I'm agnostic, my wife is Jewish and my family is very Christian so we needed someone who'd be willing and able to roll with those religious punches. Pastor Norman took the time to get to know us, and learn what we were looking for. He offered us a variety of options and examples to curate our ceremony that met both mine and my now wife's needs that also kept our families in mind.

    Not only did he help us create a bespoke service with a little something for everyone, literally everyone we spoke to remarked how engaging and friendly he was. We even had to pivot at one point due to our venue catching fire 2 WEEKS before our wedding and we had to move to an outdoor venue. He was able to help us pare down our ceremony to help accommodate everyone being in the afternoon summer sun. Our families adored him and we couldn't be happier with the service.

    Best officiant ever !

    Pastor Norman was the best! He had so much enthusiasm and character up at the altar during our wedding. He knew when to out of the way during picture perfect moments and had a genuine smile the whole time. He even incorporated some Spanish into our ceremony and matched our colors. He has also married two of our cousins. I would recommend him to anyone in the market for an officiant. His wife Carolyn was also very helpful in the marriage license process. They made the process so easy for us.

    Romantic intimate ceremony

    Pastor Norman officiated us for our wedding at the Vintage Rose last June. He was wonderful. He came early to greet our guests and checking in with us individually before the ceremony. The ceremony was romantic and intimate just like what we imagine and more. We were very nervous and Norman helped and guide us through the whole ceremony.
    All our guests love him.

    Absolutely Magical

    We knew when we chose Pastor Norman to marry us, that we made the right choice. We had a Disney Fairytale wedding and not only did Norman make it absolutely magical and beautiful, but he really went above and beyond to incorporate so much meaning and emotion into the ceremony. I have never heard such meaningful vows while adding little touches of disney into them as I have with Norman. We chose not to write our own vows and trusted that Norman would cover everything we needed and he did all that and more. This was a day we will never forget and even family and friends said that Norman really out did himself and that our vows were absolutely beautiful. We can’t thank Norman enough and we are so blessed to have this opportunity to have him be a part of our fairytale wedding. We cannot recommend his services enough either, if you are wanting professionalism, great vibes and just all over a beautiful ceremony, Norman is your guy!
    Thank you Norman

    Best officiants EVER!!! You will not regret it.

    Where do I start, Pastor Norman and Rev. Carolyn have become family to us. We’ve never met a more genuine, sweet and truly caring vendor like them. They made us feel calm and comfortable not only weeks before the wedding, but especially the day of. They also made things very easy by getting the marriage license for us during our stressful planning time. We love them so much and really couldn’t have had anyone better to marry us. Our family and friends all commented on how Pastor Norman introduced himself to them and made conversation with them.
    Thank you so much for making our day so special.

    Short and Sweet

    Pastor Norman has been such a pleasure to work with. He was very attentive to what kind of ceremony we wanted to have. He has such an enthusiasm and kindness that is unmatched. Carolyn was also great to work with to help us in the process of obtaining our marriage license. The day of our wedding, Pastor Norman greeted our guests and during the ceremony, he provided great words of wisdom. The ceremony was sweet and short and the guests loved him!

    Couldn't have asked for more!

    Pastor Norman was perfect - he took the time to get to know us as individuals, and really made our ceremony extra magical. He was a one-of-a-kind blend of personal and professional. Pastor Norman just radiates happy, positive energy and he is a complement to any wedding! We were thrilled with Pastor Norman - you will be too!!

    Best officiant, highly recommend!

    Pastor Norman officiated our wedding in March 2023 and he was amazing! As any bride would know, planning a wedding is very stressful. But with Pastor Norman, I did not need to worry about the officiant/ceremony planning at all. He had various prompts for us to choose for our ceremony. We chose to do a religious ceremony with unity candle lighting. He had a lot of other non-religious prompts that I think would apply to anybody looking to get married! My parents and my husband’s parents all really liked Pastor Norman and complimented on how well he delivered the speech. I 100% recommend Pastor Norman!

    Wonderful officiant

    Pastor Norman was a pleasure to work with. From the initial phone call to the day-of, he was very responsive and gave us all the information we needed. He customized the ceremony to all our preferences and included special things we asked for like roses to parents and acknowledgment and blessings for our daughter. He made sure to check in with folks that have a role in our ceremony and the DJ and coordinator as well. Would recommend pastor Norman to our friends! Thank you so much!

    One of the best choices we made for our wedding!

    There are not enough good things to say about Pastor Norman! He was amazing from start to finish. He took the time to genuinely get to know me and my husband as soon as we met him. He took in all of our feedback about our ceremony and it felt so personal thoughout. He also took the time to arrive early and mingle with our family and friends before the ceremony. Our guests commented on what a great job he did. If you are looking for an officiant, I would hands down recommend Pastor Norman! Thank you so much for making our day so special!

    The best in the business!

    My Wife and I recommend the Alexanders at the highest level! We met them at the Disney Wedding Expo and knew from the moment we met them that they genuinely love LOVE and wanted to see ours flourish. They were so easy to work with and extremely accommodating! Being able to have our marriage license taken care of without us having to go stand in a line (and would have ruined the magic a bit) was a cherry on top. Thank you Norman and Carolyn! We are so grateful to have had you both be a part of our Fairytale Wedding!

    Perfect choice!

    Pastor Norman did an excellent job as our wedding officiant. It was a very small intimate wedding. From the moment I reached out to the writing of the outline, to the day of the wedding, he was warm, approachable, and very reassuring. He made it really easy for us so we could focus on the other essentials. On the wedding day, he had the perfect balance of making the moment feel important but also relaxed and celebratory, with the right amount of humor. After the ceremony, many of the guests told me that Pastor Norman did an excellent job and wanted to know how I found him. Thank you Pastor Norman!

    Pastor Norman was so nice and courteous. He truly loves what he does and really takes into account everything the couple is asking for. He does everything with so much love and joy. Truly one of the best.

    Attentive and Supportive

    Pastor Norman is fantastic. From our first chat with him, he was so engaged with what we wanted our ceremony to be like and after, we felt like he really got a sense of who we were and felt like it was chatting with a friend! He’s so very thoughtful and helpful and our guests couldn’t stop raving about him. Thank you for everything Pastor Norman!

    Still getting compliments!

    I cannot rave enough about Pastor Norman and the whole Alexander family! We originally were supposed to have Rev Alec officiate for us, and he sadly got sick right before our wedding. Pastor Norman stepped in and made sure to let us know that although he was stepping in at the last minute, he would make sure that all of the notes and ideas we had gone over with Alec would be put to good use, and he did not disappoint!
    We have a 2 year old daughter who has some sensory issues and we were really nervous about how she would act during the ceremony or that there would be awkward moments where she would cry and the whole ceremony would stop. Instead, we were very pleasantly surprised that Pastor Norman was able to roll with it and improvise as he went, leaving no lulls in the ceremony and including her whenever she would come up. My entire family has not stopped raving about how beautiful our ceremony was and how well our officiant did with rolling with our daughter’s moments as well as keeping all of the little things we had talked about wanting to include. He also made sure to throw some Disney in there (as we told him what a big part of our relationship it was.) so that was a big plus!
    The Alexanders made us feel so comfortable and taken care of the entire time, helping us with our marriage license and going over all we wanted included in the ceremony.
    I cannot recommend enough! I attribute such a large part of how well our ceremony went, to Pastor Norman, and I’m so grateful we got to have him officiate for us.

    Beyond Amazing

    Pastor Norman and Reverend Carolyn Alexander are just beyond amazing. They helped us prepare for our wedding ceremony and guided us through what we need to submit our Marriage License. All of our guests were also raving about our ceremony because of how smooth it went thanks to Pastor Norman. My husband and I were very impressed with how Pastor Norman officiated our ceremony. We were both very nervous during our vows but he helped us feel at ease. Every moment was very special to us and we're very thankful to Pastor Norman.

    We met Pastor Norman through our wedding venue The Vintage Rose. We got to know each other and he always made us feel so welcomed and important, I loved that he talked us through everything from on how to get our marriage license to how our ceremony would go from ‘welcomes to i do.’ He really hit the mail on the head with how beautifully he spoke at our wedding, I was so blown away with our memorable the ceremony was. Thank you so much Pastor Norman for helping making our wedding one that we could never forget.

    Amazing Pastor

    Pastor Norman and his wife Carolyn are amazing people. So on top of everything, they gave us every bit of detail we could possibly need and even were able to handle going to the courthouse for us. They worked with what we wanted for the ceremony and we’re always so happy and excited and it really set the tone for the wedding. We were originally supposed to get married in May 2020 but they were able to continue changing my date several times up until this May 2022. I highly recommend!!

    Just perfect

    Pastor Norman was great the whole way thru. We had to move our date up so the original pastor we had lined up could t make it. So we were recommended Pastor Norman by our venue. We contacted kind of last minute only a couple weeks before the date. Luckily he was available and was able to do the ceremony how we wanted (bilingual) he out together such a beautiful sermon it far exceeded our expectations. He put all the lil details in there we wanted. He showed up an hour beforehand and even mingled with our guests before we started. I am ever so grateful for Astor Norman.

    Outstanding Job!

    We were put in contact with Pastor Norman through our coordinator for our wedding on 8/6/2021. From our first conversation we were impressed by his warmth and enthusiasm. The ceremony itself was beautifully performed without being long winded. Pastor Norman was flexible and happy to incorporate our requests. He also personally greeted all of our 70 guests. We had only spoken with him online, but he made us feel as though he had known us for years. All in all he did a stellar job!

    So personable and caring

    Pastor Norman is very seasoned and professional. It is very evident that he has done more weddings than you can count, but he brings this enthusiasm and joy that makes you feel like you are special. Looking back at pictures, you can see how happy he is for us and it made me feel so good to know he truly cared. I highly recommend him!!
