Alicia's Wedding Ceremonies

ect. We would highly recommend Alicia for your ceremony. Michael & Todd

y the way it was a lesbian wedding thanks again Mrs. Alicia

onies which will add context to the grievances below. But, first I will start with the good stuff. When we first starting working with Alicia, she provided a packet that basically broke down every option/way we could do our ceremony. This was great because we didn’t have many thoughts going into it and was great to be able to pick and choose those options. We filled out the packet and gave her all of the necessary details and this was one of the more straightforward processes in our wedding planning. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience was not as easy. The next time with saw Alicia was the day before the wedding in which we did a short rehearsal (this was just our planners and my wife and I since we didn’t have a wedding party). As we discussed the microphone with her, she let us know that she was not comfortable with a traditional stand microphone since it gives her anxiety. Eventually she caved and agreed to use the stand microphone, but this was just odd that she isn’t comfortable speaking to a crowd behind a mic even though this is the very nature of being an officiant. At this rehearsal, we made sure she had all of the information that we had provided in the packet including our vows and the list of names for the “In Memory of” part and especially emphasized the importance that she mention my father, who passed away from cancer and there were also three other names of family members that had passed away within the last few years and needed to be mentioned to honor their survivors who would be at the ceremony. She promised to have everything printed and we even emailed her the information for safe measure. Before we left, she double-checked the time of the ceremony because she was worried that she would be able to make it on time since she had to work her other job! This was also concerning, but we were hopeful that she would come through. The clincher was that she completely forgot to do the names “In Memory of” part of the ceremony despite the fact that I had stressed the importance of it just a day before. When we went to sign the wedding contract towards the end of the ceremony, I mentioned that she missed the names in the “In Memory Of” part and she looked like a kid who had forgotten their homework. She looked through her book and she hadn’t printed the names. I reminded her of my dad’s name when we went back to finish the ceremony, she did some really quick and awkward thing to mention him and she wasn’t able to mention the other names. We had family members that we had to profusely apologize to and ensure that they knew how much we cared about their lost loved ones. It was shocking that it was missed and on top of all of the other small things, definitely dampered the ceremony. She also botched up the name of the one of the witnesses of our wedding and even called out that she didn’t know how to pronounce it. We figured she would have asked the for the pronunciation before the ceremony. Alicia is generally disorganized and in most of our interactions was distracted and making excuses. She seemed to see this as a side gig to her and she lacks professionalism or accountability. I would not recommend her to conduct the ceremony if we had to do it again.

she sends the couple which they can pick and choose from, add, remove, edit. It made for a ceremony that was tailored exactly to what we wanted and we couldn't be happier!! Thanks Alicia!

m scratch) and incorporating personal touches that made our children part of our special day. She took care of all of our paperwork, arrived more than "on time", made sure all of our guests could hear the ceremony outdoors, and delivered a meaningful ceremony. We highly recommend Alicia!

for us. She was also a great officiant. The actual ceremony felt very natural, not rehearsed or stiff, and we loved that she was comfortable enough to joke with us a little and help us loosen up during a time that can be very nerve-wracking. Another bonus: Alicia is very professional and efficient! She confirmed any ceremony or paperwork changes in writing within 24 hours (usually less) and there were no hitches in getting our marriage certificate or other important papers even though we were in and out of the country after the wedding.

he details were perfect. Our day was full of love, laughter, and fullfilment. I would recommend her to anyone. She is well mannered and also helps with setting up the ceremony. She made our day very special. Thanks for all your support and help. Thurston and I couldn't have asked for a more special day.
