    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.

    Warm and Exceptional!

    If you are looking for a fantastic officiant for your special day, look no further than Merry Ministers. Alexandra was quick to reply to us, providing the planning resources we needed all while being warm and accommodating.

    For our ceremony and our vows, Alexandra guided us through her process of crafting a customizable and personal ceremony all while keeping it stress free. While our wedding day ceremony was a blur, Alexandra’s calming and warm presence kept us focused on what was important, each other and our vows.

    Going the extra mile, soon after we were wed Alexandra took care of our paperwork so we could get to the party and follow up with us the day after to answer any remaining questions we had left.

    Amazing, super easy to work with

    Alexandra made it very easy and was communicative, kind, and straightforward. We are so happy that we moved forward with her and she made our bilingual ceremony incredible. It was very custom made to us, and we enjoyed working with her. From beginning to end, she made the process so easy for us, and it was the most stress-free part of our wedding to plan! I would recommend her to anyone I know.

    Professional, communicative, and detailed

    Alex was great from the start. Very detailed and communicative. She made sure all our questions were answered no matter how big or small and worked with us on all the changes we wanted in our ceremony script. On the day of our ceremony, she arrived early and check in with us to make sure things would go smoothly. Everything went off without a hitch. We're happily married and Alex played a huge part in that. Once again, Thank you Alex from the Vo family!

    The Perfect Officiant for Us

    My husband and I wanted a simple, non-denom ceremony and Alexendra, delivered just that! Her communication was great from the start, and she was able to perform and delivery her speech exactly how we wanted. She was punctual and processed our marriage license in such a timely manner. She was exactly what we needed in our officiant.

    Trust me, book them!

    If you are looking for someone to marry you look no further! Alex was the perfect fit for us for our wedding. She dressed professionally for the day of, we were able to set up a script of exactly what we wanted said during our special day. She has multiple options for you to chose depending on your religion (or not) to fit your needs. Her price is perfect, we had the hardest time finding some one to marry us and we were really nervous about having someone we didn’t know. After our first FaceTime call we KNEW we made the right choice. Alex was on time and ready to go on our wedding day, she dressed nicely and kept our ceremony on track and on time. No off the cuff moments and her reading was eloquent. Honestly best decision we made!!

    Alaxandra was amazing to work with. She met with us and got to know a little about us and our love story. I loved that we were able to have our ceremony in Spanish! She asked what we wanted for our wedding and was very helpful. Whenever we had a question we would contact her and she was quick to respond to us. She made our day a special day. Thank you Alexandra!

    If you’re looking for an experienced and amazing officiant, Alexandra is the right choice. My wife and I were looking extensively for an officiant. One that’s budget friendly and professional. When I assisted my wife in looking for officiants, I knew I can only trust in the ones that were highly rated. That’s when we found Alexandra. After meeting with Alexandra, we felt that she was the only one that could officiate our wedding. Some of the few things I liked most about Alexandra is that during the ceremony she can make guests feel like she’s always been a friend. She was able to do so by asking us questions that truly reflect the way my wife and I feel for each other. Another thing I liked about Alexandra is that she provides so many ceremony options, allowing us to go with what we felt was more us. One final thing that I liked is that she is bilingual, sharing part of the ceremony in both English and Spanish to surprise the guests! We’re so happy we chose Alexandra to officiate our wedding. If you’re looking for a wedding officiant, look no further, get Alexandra!

    Alexandra took the time to get to know us and as a result the ceremony was perfect. We will always remember the kind words you said and how comfortable you made us feel on a day when we were already excited and anxious. I appreciated the fact that Alexandra was able to provide both Spanish and English to our ceremony. We involved our guests to read a verse and poem and made our ceremony even more special.

    Thank you from Martin and Crystal

    Alexandra was really wonderful throughout the whole process! I truly recommend her and trust her. She married us two weeks ago. I have nothing but positive feedback! She was easy to reach through email and took the time to meet up with my then-fiancé twice in person to discuss what we want in the ceremony transcript. The rest of the communicating was done via email which worked out great, she answers back promptly. Our ceremony was beautiful and she incorporated everything we wanted in it. We requested parts of the ceremony to be in Spanish and she did that without a flaw. Overall, wonderful experience and pricing was totally fair also. Thankyou Alexandra!!

    We can’t say enough great things about having Alexandra as our Officiant. She always had great ideas, was super speedy with replying to our emails, and genuinely loves what she does. She even helped us with translating some of the ceremony in Spanish for my husbands family! We truly enjoyed working with her!

    Alexandra made it very easy for us to compose our vows, providing a lot of written material from which we could select. We had our first meeting on Skype, which was a nice time-saver! She showed up for the ceremony on time and seemed genuinely happy to be uniting us in holy (or non-denominational) matrimony! She is very sweet and professional!
