About this vendor
Your Ceremony. Your Way.
Congratulations on your engagement! Thank you for stopping by my profile and considering me to officiate on your big day!
As an officiant, my goal is to create a personal ceremony that celebrates you and your love story and honors the commitment you are making together as a couple.
When we work together, you can expect a professional, collaborative, and personal experience. I enjoy spending time getting to know the couples I assist - it helps me best tell your story and create a ceremony you'll love and remember forever. You will not find a cookie-cutter ceremony here.
I'm proud to assist couples of all faiths, traditions and backgrounds and celebrate your choice of love.
I look forward to hearing from you! Reach out with any questions.

ot. Alex worked extremely well with the videographer and day of coordinator, they seemed like they have worked together several times. We feel like every time we needed Alex to be there, he already was but not to the point it felt like a camera was in our face the whole time. He blended in very well to capture all of our precious memories. Thank you again Alex for everything, we highly recommend!
Alex officiated our wedding in April 2024 and was great to work with. We had 2 meeting to discuss the general plan for the ceremony and for Alex to get to know us/our love story, a...
nd a 3rd meeting to finalize details for the ceremony. We felt like Alex really took the time to know us, and our ceremony was very personalized to us. Alex was also able to provide us advice about elements to include in the ceremony, advice about our vows, and answered our questions about specifics during the ceremony (e.g. order of components, cueing the music, holding our rings and vows). Our ceremony was perfect and everything we wanted. We would highly recommend Alex as an officiant!

emorable one. We had different meetings the previous months to the wedding and he really got to know us and our stories and how to get the best of us for that day.
Something that we liked a lot was that he took the time to talk with us separately and hear our love story from perspectives. We highly recommend you to have him on your big day!!!

ng to our vision for our ceremony, our relationship story and crafting a beautiful ceremony. Hearing his words at our ceremony was something we were so excited for and he exceeded every expectation. He told our story in beautiful detail, with light hearted stories and love throughout. We could not have imagined a more perfect ceremony than what Alex designed and our grateful to have made him as a friend in the process.

y actually have known us the entire time."
Alex did an amazing job! He was personable, upbeat, and got a few laughs out of us and our guests. With just a few phone conversations, he made it seem like he's known us our entire relationship. Seriously, could not have been any better. 100% recommend!

ook the time to know the ceremony inside and out, so it didn’t come across as if he was just reading a script. With all of the stress that comes with planning a wedding, Alex made the ceremony much easier. I can’t thank him enough!!
Due to the fianceé visa process we knew that our wedding would have to be planned and scheduled on short notice. Despite this Alex was able to be very flexible and understanding of...
our unique situation. With only a short phone call he was able to put together a toughing and meaningful ceremony that spoke to both of us as if we had been life long friends. The content of his seremony spoke to Alex being a deep and compassionate person and a gifted orator.
