  Fantastic Experience

  Alex was our officiant and he was SUPER helpful. I was panicking because the wedding venue canceled on us the night before, due to weather issues, and he helped me find an alternative. He was communicative the whole way through the process. Alex was professional, supportive and friendly with our guests. Being a queer couple has me scriptural of hiring an officiant, but Alex was accepting even prior to him know we were a queer couple. He also dressed so well/stylishly!!!!! I couldn’t recommend him more!!! If I had to get married all over again, I would’ve started out with him as my officiant!!!! Just yes!!!!! Work with him!

  Best officiant ever!

  Alex was the officiant for our elopement, and we could not have dreamed of anyone better! He was always extremely prompt in replying to emails, answered all questions, and asked his own questions to better curate the ceremony. It truly showed that Alex genuinely wanted to help us achieve the elopement we were dreaming of. Our elopement was two hours away, and he arrived a full hour early and was extremely accommodating to all of our requests, and flexible with our rough scheduling. Alex is quite the professional, and his calm easiness was a big help in calming our own nerves for our big moment. We won't ever be needing an officiant again, but I will definitely recommend Alex to everyone who does!

  J & M wedding officiant review

  Alex was an amazing person to work with. Before our wedding, we had 2 Zoom calls with him. The first was for him to get to know us a little better and then the last one dealt with final preparations for our big day. He is very professional and easy to communicate with. Alex wrote a beautiful speech for my wife and I on our wedding day. It made a lot of people tear up! He is very punctual and also a great speaker. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for someone to officiate their wedding.

  The perfect officiant for our small wedding

  Alex helped us take the leap yesterday on leap day and we couldn't be happier with the services he provided. We started with a quick zoom call. He was able to take in what we had in mind and prepare an overview script. We were able to go back and forth a few times as our details changed. He was prompt and insightful through the whole process. He showed up early on the day of the wedding and was patient and allowed a late start as people trickled in up to 30min late. He officiated wonderfully and then took his leave shortly after the service and paperwork was completed. All in all, highly recommended. I'll definitely hire him again the next time I get married (joking!)

  Could not have picked a better officiant

  Alex did an amazing job officiating our ceremony. After our original officiant went MIA 4 days before the wedding, I was scrambling to find someone who was available. Alex responded to me quickly and gave us lots of advice even before booking. He really took his time to get to know my husband and I, and he wrote and performed a beautiful, personalized ceremony. I don't even think a close friend could have done something better. I highly recommend!

  Beautiful ceremony

  We had a beautiful and meaningful ceremony that we will cherish forever. We had a couple of options and picked the more simple type of ceremony, which is short and sweet. I really appreciate that we were able to have a video call even before deciding which type of ceremony we wanted. It was great to have a face to face beforehand. Our wedding was small and intimate with only close family and friends and we feel satisfied with Alex’s services.

  The Amazing Alex

  Where to begin! Alex did such an amazing job at our wedding ceremony. From his genuine interest in getting to know us to his thoughtful creation of his speech. He was always on time and always communicative. Our guests complimented us on his beautiful delivery of his words. His energy gave my wife and I a sense of calm and confidence while we said our I do’s. He even submitted our marriage license for us. I highly recommend Alex as a officiant for your big day!

  A lovely experience

  I absolutely loved my experience working with Alex. His attention to detail, positive attitude and humble presence made me feel at ease throughout the entire experience. He showcased this to not only my partner and I but to all our welcome guest. Having the sound bowls during the vows and the candlelight ceremony was an added bonus that I highly recommend. Thank you Alex for making our special day one that we will never forget.

  Amazing!!!

  We hired Alex to officiate our small elopement ceremony and he was amazing! He worked with us on the script and even catered to our desire for a spiritual ceremony by incorporating a lovely guided meditation. He was also incredibly friendly, communicative and eloquent. We loved how he went with the flow for our non-traditional ceremony and was nothing but kind, patient and professional. Can’t recommend Alex enough for a ceremony of any size. He’s gifted at officiating and all around great human being!

  Perfect Ceremony Last Minute

  We contacted Alex on short notice planning to "phone in" our ceremony. Alex was patient, kind, and extremely flexible in working with us last minute. We didn't expect much from our officiation, but Alex helped us create a special day we'll remember forever!

  Simply perfect

  Alex was extremely easy going and helped officiated our wedding ceremony hybrid- so my spouse online through zoom and me in person. We had gotten our marriage license and it was super easy to contact him for the intimate and low-key ceremony we wanted. Although it was his first ceremony hosted at his home we felt reassured with his initiatives and questions right away. Extremely happy we chose him and his professionalism all the way from the easy payment to the peaceful setting, thank you! :)

  Beautifully personalized!

  My partner and I really appreciated the time Alex took to discuss each of our needs, individual personalities, and how we could implement our personalities into our vows and ceremony process. My only concern was that we had given the officiant's script a lookover and, something I had requested be edited out was somehow left in. Otherwise, everything was beautifully executed and we were very happy with the care for attention and service over all.
