Alice Soloway Uncommon Wedding Officiant

Alice performed our mixed/non-denominational ceremony and was just perfect! She wrote and performed a fabulous ceremony that captured the two of us as individuals, and the spirit of our union as well. She was so lovely, communicative, and professional throughout the process. We will forever credit her for our wedding ceremony being exactly what we'd envisioned and hoped for!

Alice was incredible to work with! We highly highly recommend her. She was extremely responsive from the first time that we reached out. The entire process working with her felt extremely organized and personal. We felt very reassured working with her that she would think of every detail and that we did not have to worry about anything including on the day of. She crafted a beautiful ceremony and story about our relationship and so many of our guests came up to us after the ceremony and told us how wonderful they thought our ceremony was thanks for her! She is truly a pleasure to work with and we are very thankful that she was a part of our wedding day.

I cannot say enough about Alice; she is truly wonderful! Adam and I recently got married in July 2023. We found Alice online through the Knot and contacted her through her website. I remember reading her approach to creating meaningful personal ceremony's based on the couple's values and I fell in love. I reached out and she responded that day. Within a week we were video chatting and Alice was educating about us about what even makes up a wedding ceremony, how to navigate our wedding party and family, do we need a microphone? From the big to the small, she's dealt with it before and created a perfect solution. Alice was the right fit for us. She took the time to get to know Adam and I and created a beautiful ceremony that was incredibly personal. The whole process was transparent; We had the final say on the content and wording of the ceremony. She kept us to a timeline (gently) and nothing felt rushed. Day of the wedding, we felt we had known Alice far longer than the 6 months we worked together. Our ceremony was engaging, full of love and laughter and some tears (Alice was prepared with tissues!) Our family and friends keep telling us it was the best ceremony they had seen. And best of all, it was so us. Thank you Alice!

Our experience with Alice was phenomenal, from beginning to end. Finding the right officiant who was okay with performing a non-religious ceremony was a priority for us, so we started the search pretty early. I’d seen Alice’s profile before we had started to make inquiries, and made a mental note about her. Then a few months later, when I was honestly feeling discouraged by the prospects, I remembered Alice! Immediately when we met with her virtually, we felt at ease about the process. She was kind, calm, and very easy to talk to. We decided pretty quickly that we would hire her. And, importantly, she specialized in helping couples create their perfect ceremony, with as little or as much tradition as desired. We even were able to meet her in person prior the wedding, which was such a treat! And cemented the comfort and ease we felt with her. We can confidently say that our wedding ceremony was perfect. It was obvious how much time Alice had spent creating and helping is craft our love story, and it felt incredibly intimate, even with our 68 guests. Another aspect during the process that was incredible, was how many resources Alice has! She’s a real pro, and has dozens of example vows that really helped us with our own. The back and forth process of editing the ceremony was also extremely collaborative — knowing exactly what was going to be said and done before hand was huge for us. Thank you, Alice, for helping us craft our ideal ceremony, and for being just so great along the way! We HIGHLY recommend Alice — would have her marry us over and over again.

We cannot recommend Alice enough!!! She took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. The ceremony she officiated interweaved our lives before we met into our lives since meeting and up to the day of the wedding. The significance of our union was so beautifully orated by Alice. Our friends and family raved about our ceremony. Alice was a DREAM officiant and we cannot say enough.

Alice was a dream-come-true to work with and a master of her craft! She was an amazing listener as we told her what we were hoping for in regards to our ceremony and with the help of her well-prepared questionnaires, she was able to build a personal, thoughtful, unique, and truly beautiful ceremony. She had an excellent set of readings and vow examples as well, that really helped my husband and I find exactly what we were looking for that was the most meaningful to us. We were over the moon with how our ceremony turned out in practice and on our wedding day!! During the ceremony, Alice was an exceptional orator. She read with an intentional, confident tone and captured the audience effortlessly. She made it obvious and easy for the readers to know their cue, and she was very professional and fluid with our prompts for our vows and I-Dos. Even when one of our taper candles started to smoke uncontrollably during the ceremony, Alice was poised and flexible, took care of it, and kept everything on track and running smoothly - she responded perfectly! It was such an honor to work with her and we will remember how special and personal our ceremony was for the rest of our lives. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with her!

Alice was such a pleasure to work with and did such an amazing job with our wedding ceremony. She worked with my husband and I to create a wedding ceremony exactly how we envisioned. She was extremely thorough from the very beginning of the process indicating exactly what needed to be done with specific timelines. Once we provided the information needed for her to create the ceremony we worked together frequently to make sure every detail was perfect. Even though we knew exactly what she was going to say on the day of, she delivered the ceremony beautifully. I received so many compliments from my guests saying she did a wonderful job. I’d happily recommend her services for anyone planning a wedding, she made our day even more special.

My new husband and I loved working with Alice as I planned for our intimate wedding. Alice was knowledgeable, helpful, flexible, and so thoughtful. (She's also super prompt and communicative which I deeply appreciated!) Alice expertly guided us every step of the way - from initial contact, writing our vows, and applying for our marriage license. I really appreciated Alice taking the time to get to know us, listen to our story, and personalize our ceremony. She made me feel comfortable, encouraged and HEARD. Looking back, I realize just how important it is to work with an amazing officiant. If I had the opportunity to do my wedding again, I would choose Alice. I'll miss working with you, Alice! I hope we cross paths again. Maybe for a vow renewal in 10 years? :)

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 was a pleasure to work with! The ceremony she wrote was exactly what we wanted- completely personalized and reflective of who we are as a couple. She is an excellent listener and a great communicator. Our friends and family were so impressed by the beautiful ceremony and her excellent delivery, and we will never forget what an amazing experience it was. I would highly recommend Alice to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding officiant.

My wife and I loved working with Alice. She made everything very easy and hassle free for us. She was meticulous and organized, but she doesn't loose any personal charm either. While working with Alice we got more than a one size fit's all ceremony, we got a very well planned, personalized and intimate ceremony, that included us, our families, and our friends. We couldn't have been happier to have her be our officiant.

I came across Alice from searching for officiants on The Knot. Since our officiant wasn't a family or close friend, it was really important to find someone that made us comfortable. I knew from our first conversation that Alice would be a great fit for us. She was so kind and easy to talk to. The process was very easy working with Alice and she was always responsive to our questions and comments. She was also extremely helpful in explaining the entire process, starting with getting our marriage certificate. Once she got to know us she put together a beautiful ceremony. She perfectly incorporated all of the themes / topics that were important to us. We worked together to make some minor changes - few were needed as her first draft was pretty perfect. We had a lot of compliments on our ceremony - some guests even asked if we knew her prior!

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!

Working with Alice Soloway was an absolute pleasure! From the first conversation that we had with her; we knew she was the one. She was very prompt in responding to all of our questions and she made the entire process seamless. Her ceremony was beautifully written, and it encompassed our entire story, we felt like we knew Alice for years! Our guests came up to us all night telling us how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Alice was one of the best vendors we worked with, and I would highly recommend her services. Thank you, Alice!

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 is absolutely the best officiant. She listens carefully and ties the thread and major themes of us as a couple. Every guest of ours was in such awe of how beautiful the ceremony was, and I have no words of my own to express the gratitude I have to her. Thank you for the forever memories, Alice.

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!!

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!

My husband and I continue to bring up every day how amazing Alice was throughout this entire process! From the initial meeting to giving us cues throughout the ceremony at every step. She was absolutely amazing! She made the ceremony so personable and truly took the time to get to know who we were as individuals as well as, as a couple. We are SO happy we found her and decided to go with her as the person to marry us! We highly recommend Alice for wedding ceremonies. Thank you again, Alice!

I am writing this 2 days after our wedding so everything is still fresh in my mind! I cannot say enough good things. From start to finish Alice was perfect in every way. She accommodated us when we had to postpone (twice!) and even did our legal ceremony over zoom which was also beautiful even through a computer screen. Alice focuses on making your ceremony exactly what you want it to be. She asks a lot of questions in your initial consultation to get a sense of what you want and then even more questions about yourself and your feelings about your relationship to create the ceremony. It is actually substantially more in depth than I had ever expected. But when the times comes, boy was it worth it. All of our guests commented that it was so amazing because it was so PERSONAL. They all learned about our relationship because Alice asked us about our relationship! It wasn’t about her definition of love and marriage or some generic speech about love - it was a summary of our years together and what this day meant for us. This is particularly incredible if you’re a little too nervous to write and say your own vows. Her ceremony script was our words - spoken a bit more eloquently and from someone more confident in public speaking. I left knowing what my husband felt for me and he left knowing how I felt for him and we got to be calm the entire time. Alice helped us include readings and a special candle lighting ceremony to add depth to the ceremony and tied them in at the exact right moments. She helped us honor those who have passed away and communicate our love and appreciation for our parents. The ceremony was also the exact right length - not too long but also not rushed through. We had the attention of my guests for the entire time! Most notably - Alice came to see us before the ceremony started to give a little pep talk. Her energy was exciting and it reminded me that all will be well. She brought copies of the readings for our family members and made sure we had all of the props we needed. It was nice to see her beforehand and took the edge off my nerves. The ceremony is so important. The reception will always go well - there’s food, drinks, and music. The ceremony does indeed require some meticulous planning and it is important to have someone who interprets your vision and listens to what you want. It was exactly what I asked her for and will be a memory I hold onto forever. Even my tough exterior husband was happy at how personal and emotional it was. It was an incredible experience and SO worth the wait. Thank you, Alice!

From the initial email inquiry to the saying of our vows, Alice was an absolute delight. She was very prompt in responding to our questions and she was a professional throughout the entire process. In the age of weddings in the time of Covid, she gave us great tips on how to navigate the license process. She is kind, warm, considerate and was a true joy to have around on our wedding day. We highly recommend her services.

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.

We were thrilled to work with Alice in planning and pulling off a beautiful, meaningful, and as promised, no-fuss elopement ceremony. We felt grounded and warmed by Alice’s presence - like she was holding and honoring our love for each other, witnessing and centering our love and personal vows. She was gracious in working with us around rescheduling for weather and travel. It was a meaningful and easy transition into marriage, and we are very grateful.

Alice was a pleasure to work with! We specifically sought out a queer friendly officiant and she was very supportive towards us as a same sex couple. Her interest in how we met and our love story was authentic and nicely incorporated into the ceremony script. Alice was very punctual throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

Alice went above and beyond in creating and facilitating our wedding ceremony. She's immensely professional, creative, and an incredible storyteller. Many of our guests said it was the most unique and heartfelt wedding ceremony they've ever been to. We highly recommend! Thank you, Alice, for making our day so special.

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 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.

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! Allison & Steve

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!

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 went above and beyond our expectations to make our wedding so incredibly beautiful. She put us at ease throughout the entire process to make sure our ceremony went off without a hitch. After getting to know us, Alice crafted a touching, meaningful, fun ceremony that brought together traditions from our backgrounds mixed with our own personal spin. My wife and I are forever grateful for Alice’s presence at our wedding. Thank you!!!!!!!

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.

Alice did just a beautiful job at my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding. The ceremony was so personal and so completely true to who they are. I don’t know how she did it, but she managed to tell their love story in a way that was completely endearing. They really are a sweet couple, but I don’t think most people understood just how much they are devoted to each other. Alice did such an amazing job conveying that, and it truly made their wedding day perfect!

Alice made our wedding day so special and her speech fit perfectly with our intimate evening ceremony. She was so helpful with the process and explaining all the paperwork. I absolutely recommend her!

Working with Alice was such a joy! She responded to my inquiry immediately. On our first call with her she gave us suggestions that made us feel confident and comfortable with our plan. The day of our wedding she arrived promptly on time and directed a beautiful ceremony. Not only were we very happy, our family loved it too. Would absolutely recommend her services!

Alice was amazing. From the time I first spoke with her I knew she was the one to perform our wedding. COVID posed a difficult time for weddings but from the outset Alice made the process leading to the big day as simple and as comfortable as possible. Our first joint contact was a zoom call where Alice answered all our questions and gave us all our options. Thereafter she was available whenever we needed leading up to the big day. Alice found us a unique location in the Hudson Valley right on a lake. On the big day we were lucky to have great weather. Alice greeted our party, made everyone comfortable and performed a ceremony that was wonderful. Using information we provided she crafted a personalized ceremony that flowed seamlessly. My wife and I were relaxed and comfortable throughout. When COVID is a memory, Alice will help celebrate renewal of vows beachside when we can have some more family as well as friends (and our dog) in attendance. If you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding- look no further than Alice Soloway

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!

I would highly recommend Alice Soloway to be your Wedding Officiant. She is compassionate, efficient, and brings a loving personal touch. She truly makes you feel special and is one of the most genuine people. We were honored to have her as an Officiant. Best decision ever! Truly, John and Stephanie Doyle

My partner and I decided to get married in the fall. By November, we decided we wanted to do it by the end of the year... online! Alice was very responsive, accommodated our short turnaround, and was very quick to mail the required forms to the town clerk. We opted for a short and sweet vow exchange. She made the online event calming and special. My husband's mother gave rave reviews and has mentioned how great Alice was several times! We'd highly recommend selecting Alice for your virtual ceremony.

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!

Alice is a master of her craft! She made us feel comfortable immediately and her work began with our first interaction! Little did we know, Alice was taking meticulous notes and hanging on to every detail she needed to weaved together a ceremonial masterpiece that left everyone in tears! She is a pleasure to work with, a true professional and her love for her work resonates through the beautiful words she speaks at the alter. If you want the best for your wedding day, look no further!!! Alice is the best there is!!! Thank you Alice for making our special day one we will never forget!!! With love and infinite gratitude M&A

Could not have been happier with having Alice as our wedding officiant. Alice was extremely easy to work with and accommodating from start to finish! We decided to have her write our entire ceremony. Alice sent us questionnaires to fill out via email to help her get to know us better. Through her questions, she wrote the perfect ceremony for us. We then had a few video chats, and received our entire ceremony before the event for approval. Everyone complimented us on how amazing the ceremony was!! We also did a handfasting ceremony which was executed perfectly. It's clear that Alice knows what she's doing when it comes to weddings!!!

My now-husband and I loved having Alice as our wedding officiant especially during this time. She had provided both virtual and in-person options. She was very considerate of our time needs and was so sweet with her portions of the ceremony. It definitely provided a sense of normalcy this year. We opted to have in-person and were allowed 4 guests including a photographer. The locations we were provided as options were near us so it was easy to get to and very picturesque. Would definitely recommend for any sort of style of wedding!

Alice officiated our small upstate NY elopement. She was so warm and nice. We had a call with her prior to booking that served as a get to know you session where She told us about her services and we discussed what we were looking for in a ceremony. On the day of, she delivered a lovely ceremony! One thing we loved was her suggestion of a ring warming ceremony where she invited our two guests to warm our wedding bands and make a wish/bless them on behalf of everyone we love who couldn't be with us on our wedding day. Overall, we were so happy to have her join us on our day!

If you are looking for someone to perform a special ceremony then you should not look any further than Alice. She is the best! She made us feel so at ease from the initial call, the follow up, and then the ceremony. It was a perfect day and I can't thank Alice enough for being a part of it!

Alice was a wonderful officiant!! We had a great experience from start to finish and our guests even made sure to note how empathetic she sounded, and how well written her speech was during the ceremony. At our first conference call with Alice, she made sure to get to know us as best possible, and proposed three options to how the ceremony could be performed. She also clearly answered any questions we had about the process of signing and submitting a marriage license online in times of Covid. We opted for a speech that would incorporate our story. Alice sent us 4 questions she would then use to craft her beautiful speech. The following emails were answered promptly and in a very professional matter, we never had to worry about her role in midst of all the preparations! Thank you so much for being a part of our day and for helping us translate our relationship to our family and friends :)

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 :)

Our original plan prior to the pandemic was to have a small city hall wedding; once we realized that was no longer feasible, we still wanted to have a small ceremony with an officiant. Alice was the perfect person to marry us - she guided us through this new normal of getting married - from registering for a license online, to taking the time to get to know us as a couple, and we are so thankful for her.

Hiring Alice to officiate our ceremony was the easiest decision that we made during the chaos of the last several months. We knew we still wanted to get married on our original date of 7/31, even though we postponed our large public ceremony due to COVID-19 until next year. We contacted Alice and right away, felt a personal connection with her. From the first zoom call we had, we knew we wanted to work with her, and made the decision to hire her within a day of speaking to her. Alice is warm, caring and takes interest in each one of her clients beyond just that of a business interaction. Alice made everything incredibly easy to fill out with her online portal, and via email. We gave her the information she would need to write our ceremony, and she curated a beautiful, personalized ceremony. Just before our ceremony, I was incredibly nervous. Alice greeted me with warmth and kindness, guiding us separately through the signing of the marriage certificate and helping us calm our nerves. She took care of everything from the the beginning to the end of the ceremony, and we couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. We were so nervous about finding an officiant who would understand what we wanted in terms of a ceremony, and Alice delivered 100%. We are so happy we found Alice, and had an amazing officiant on our wedding day!

Alice was wonderful. She answered all of my questions promptly. We got married on her lakefront property which was beautiful and made our small covid ceremony much more meaningful. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to get married.

Alice Soloway was professional when performing our virtual ceremony. Excellent communicator and we can tell she loves her job. She had the warmest smile during the whole ceremony. She made us feel secure and assure us she was here for us and it was about us and she was here to help. We messaged her on the day our license was issued and she message us back quick. She was able to fit us in her schedule the next day. During the ceremony she gave us options on how to stand/sit and gave us words to exchange that made happy tears flow. It was a simple and beautify marriage ceremony. Thank you Alice we are very happy!

We highly recommend Alice! She's lovely yet professional, and works with speed/efficiency. Due to Covid-19 pandemic we had to get married virtually (we had family members from around the world join in through Zoom), but she still managed to make it very sweet and personal. Who knew a zoom wedding could be so beautiful! :-)

Alice performed our wedding ceremony, and it was wonderful. We are so happy that she was our officiant. Alice is very professional and responsive. We highly recommend her.

Alice is very professional, responsible and caring for her clients. I feel very fortunate to have her served as our marriage officiant. She is knowledgable, detail-oriented, and very patient to answer various questions my husband and I had, especially the procedures of the NYC virtual wedding ceremony due to COVID-19. Working with Alice is an unforgettable experience and memory to us. I highly recommend her service to the future couples.

Alice is amazing! Super helpful, genuinely kind, and clearly loves love and what she does! We had a virtual wedding and Alice was there to guide us through all the technical aspects. From the beginning, she made the process very smooth and easy for us. I really appreciated how invested she was in getting to know us, so she could make our wedding special. My husband and I were able to have a ceremony that was very much us and reflected who we are to each other - and we couldn't have done it without Alice being there to help celebrate our love!

My wife and I had no idea what to expect with our marriage planning since City Hall in NYC closed down due to Covid-19 in March. We already had our marriage license but had no place to get married. In May, the Cupid project was consolidated by NYC marriage bureau, which allows couples to get officially married online. We were so happy that our plan wouldn’t get further delayed. I did a quick search for virtual wedding officiants in hope to find a perfect match who will host our special zoom wedding event. Alice was the 4th person I spoke with and I immediately felt that she was the one we wanted. From her calming voice, friendly smile, and brief explanation of the process, Alice provide us details on what to expect and gave us a solid plan since day 1. She really made me feel like she cared about us having a special day regardless of the situation, unlike some other people I spoke with that made things sound like a business trancsation. 

Alice remained in constant contact with us during the week going over all types of questions and concerns we had at all hours of the day. She was so flexible with the time we set to get married which allowed people tuning in from different parts of the world. She called two days in advance to go over technical questions regarding the zoom wedding. On our wedding day, she called in early to go over the logistics with us. She sent in our paper to the city clerk right after our virtual wedding and made sure we were copied on the email as well. She truly is a professional and I highly recommend her services for your virtual and in person weddings.

We had a virtual wedding on May 10th, in the crazy of COVID-19, and thanks to Alice our wedding was so perfect. Everything up to the wedding Alice walked us through. She was available via email, phone any way we needed to talk she was there. She was so professional and amazing. Her words during the ceremony were beyond perfect. Alice helped make our virtual wedding the best thing we could ask for. She made everyone feel as if we were all in one room together sharing the love and joy of our wedding, even though it was via webcam it was beyond perfect thanks to the amazing things Alice did and said. So grateful!

I married my best friend on November 11th 2019, and Alice Soloway officiated at our wedding. This being the first time (and hopefully the last) for us we were a little nervous to say the least. Alice made the entire process so simple and straightforward. She clearly explained and outlined exactly what we needed to do and worked diligently with us to create the perfect ceremony. Alice has this special way of capturing in words exactly what you’re trying to express. It was truly the best day of our lives and we cannot begin to thank her enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

My wife and I re-read through many of the positive reviews on Alice’s site before writing our own and found ourselves nodding “yes, yes, and yes” in wholehearted and enthusiastic agreement with all of them. Alice is truly as warm, professional, respectful, supportive, and, most importantly, as amazingly personable as everyone else has said and then some! My wife and I are both introverts by nature so we decided to skip writing our own vows but didn’t want to lose the personal touch that comes with the gesture. We also wanted to keep our ceremony simple and concise but still convey our great love for each other in a meaningful way. When searching for an officiant, we mentally prepared ourselves to settle for “good enough” but then we came across Alice’s site. Between the rave reviews and all of the heartwarming photos of Alice with the other couples lucky enough to have been married by her, we had a gut feeling that we found someone great. From our introductory video call to our in-person meeting, from logistics and planning right up to the big day itself, it turned out that Alice was better than great - she was perfect! Alice hit the nail on the head with our ceremony and had my wife and I completely teary-eyed just reading through the first draft. She captured all of the sentiments and feelings we would’ve wanted to say for ourselves only in a more eloquent and thoughtful way than we could’ve ever achieved on our own. Our wedding day overall was the blur people warned us it would be but Alice’s ceremony truly stands out in our minds as one of the main highlights thanks to Alice’s comforting presence. Her confidence and warmth seemed to cut through all of the “wedding jitters” and helped keep us “present in the present” to enjoy the moment. We consider ourselves super lucky and are very thankful to have had Alice be our officiant. Alice is truly amazing at what she does and she does so with a humble confidence. She seems to genuinely care about getting to know you both as a couple and as individuals which in turn makes the experience of working with her all the more personable. If you’re looking for someone to truly capture the spirit of who you both are, look no further and please book Alice without a second thought!

We highly recommend Alice!!! We loved working with Alice. From the first call we had with her we knew we found the best person to marry us. And we’re a very picky couple. She listened to everything we said and incorporated it so beautifully throughout the ceremony. Alice crafted our story so well that our guests thought she was a close family member/ friend. Alice also made the entire process so easy, especially as my husband and I didn’t know what type of ceremony we initially wanted. With her guidance and suggestions, we had such an intimate, romantic and inclusive ceremony that showcased our love, and surpassed all of our expectations. Monique & Daniel

I wanted an officiant that would be able to create a meaningful, secular ceremony. Alice delivered above and beyond. She starts with a questionnaire, which is extensive, but she was able to incorporate our personalities, dreams, hopes for our future so wonderfully based on the information we gave her. People were raving about her ceremony - my friends and family members asked how she knew me so well! She was able to create a ceremony that was deeply personal, meaningful, and tailored to our exact wishes, but beyond our imagination! She was professional throughout, making the entire thing seamless. Go for Alice!

We were so lucky to find Alice as our wedding officiant! She was so perfect for our wedding ceremony. We didn't want anything too traditional or generic... but also nothing too serious or emotional. Especially, because I really did not want to tear up on our wedding day. Alice understood all of our requests - She set such a lovely and witty vibe, but with so much thought and love put into our ceremony. Everything felt extra special - our favorite part was when she talked about our Love Story: How we met and what we love about each other. That really made our guests laugh.. it was a heart-warming story! It really added that sweet personal touch to the ceremony. Alice is very professional and is so on top of everything. She provided us with first draft, second draft, cue sheets.. she was able to guide us on some parts where we felt clueless during our planning process. Our FaceTime interview with Alice went smoothly and she made sure we covered all the details and agenda for the ceremony. She was so wonderful to work with! **Major key points here**: We all know that wedding ceremonies can drag and makes you lose focus.. Let's just be real here! But OUR CEREMONY was the BEST I've seen and even our guests have said this. Alice also has a beautiful voice and a sophisticated presence. She will be perfect for YOUR wedding ceremony as well. We guarantee!

We couldn't be happier with Alice's work! She was so supportive, thoughtful and communicative throughout the process. We planned a small elopement ceremony with just our parents and siblings and reached out to Alice on short notice. We are so grateful she was available and she got the ball rolling right away. She sent us thoughtful questions and was available to touch base before the ceremony. When the day arrived, it felt like we'd already met her. The ceremony she crafted was meaningful and warm. Everyone was so touched by her words and we continue to get compliments from our family. Many thanks to Alice for her kindness and warmth!

Alice is an absolute dream to work with. She's professional and extremely personal. Her approach is to get to know you as a couple on a pretty deep level, and her warm demeanor makes that really easy. Everyone raved about her performance at our ceremony. She's the best and we were very lucky to have her.

What an ABSOLUTE pleasure it was to find Alice and get to work with her. She is an outstanding human being and we are so grateful to have someone like her in our lives. I heard her name in the very beginning when we first started wedding planning (circa early 2017), but it all got a little overwhelming, so finding an officiant took the backseat to booking the venue, DJ, floral, etc. Then when my planner mentioned her name again probably about a year later, I knew it was fate. Boy, was I THRILLED that she had the time and ability to work with us for our wedding! I swear I’ve been bawling my eyes out since I received the first custom draft of our wedding ceremony. My husband was making fun of me when we sat down to read it for the first time – I started crying at the end of the first line. It went above and beyond my wildest dreams – it was detailed, well written, emotional, hilarious, chock full of love and passion, all encompassing, and it reflected our 12 years together as a couple perfectly. Her presentation of our story was exquisite – she was well spoken, polite, and you could truly feel how much emotion she felt for us in every single word. It’s not every day you find someone who truly cares about what they do like Alice cares about her couples. People have not stopped talking about how gorgeous it was, even now, being an entire month later. Every time I get my Mom on the phone, she raves about how amazing the ceremony was – how it was her favorite part of the day! Alice has been involved wholeheartedly from the beginning. From our initial phone call, to the constant responses via email, and even video chatting to make sure she got a real feel for us as a pair before she started her writing process. I sincerely struggle trying to find the words to thank her for everything she did to make our big day unforgettable. It meant the world to us to convey our feelings of love and appreciation to our family and friends, and Alice went above and beyond to make that happen. We are forever indebted to you! If you want your ceremony to truly stand out…to be personalized to the point where you feel like you’re listening to an awesome movie script about your own life (such a cool feeling)…and you want to work with a very talented wordsmith…make sure you have a box of tissues nearby…and work with Alice! It will be one of the best decisions you make during your crazy planning process. Thank you so much Alice for bringing our story to life!

I was introduced to Alice through my elopement photographer. We had a private wedding and wanted to keep everything very intimate. I've only been to weddings where the officiants were religiously officiated or where the officiants were personal friends or family of the couple, so I really had no clue what to expect for my own wedding. Alice emailed us some questions, which were insightful and gave her an idea about our relationship. We had a call with her a few weeks later and she asked ceremony-specific questions, such as if we wanted to write our own vows, what we wanted to be pronounced afterwards, etc. When we saw her the night of our wedding, I really felt like it was seeing an old friend, despite the limited interaction we had with her and over a short period of time. I can't believe what a wonderful ceremony she presented, it was really personal, exactly what we wanted. That being said, if I could rewrite my vows, I wouldn't mention as much of what I did in the answers, as I probably should have realized that she would be using that material for the ceremony. She also has a calming voice, which helped me not be so nervous. After the wedding, she emailed me the ceremony, which will make a nice addition to our wedding scrapbook. If you are looking for an officiant, I could not recommend Alice enough. We both felt really comfortable interacting with her through the whole process and felt she listened to us and really wanted to understand us and our relationship. She was the perfect person to officiate and at some point down the road, I would love for her to be part of our vow renewal ceremony!

Alice was an absolute joy to work with--she went above and beyond to get to know us and tell our story in a heartwarming, humorous and touching way. I don't feel like people usually talk about the officiant at weddings, but everyone at our wedding raved about how Alice killed it :). She created a ceremony that was personal and meaningful and truly tied our wedding together and offered impeccable advice on our personal vows. She also directed everyone at the ceremony, made sure to have time to rehearse and make things go smoothly, and had a timeline working up to the event that she reminded you about (such as getting a marriage license). We could not have gotten married without her--literally and figuratively!!
