he challenge my wife and I faced, as we wanted to avoid religious trappings, but still enjoy a ceremony imbued with spirituality. The ceremony Alisa & Kimball provided was everything we hoped it would be. Not only did they prepare a moving, non-denominational benediction, but they also brought an amazing energy and life to the ceremony through a beautiful, live musical performance. They're talented musicians and wonderful people, and we can't recommend them enough. Thank you Alisa & Kimball!
