Great Officiant!

Alyson was a pleasure to work with and took such a special part in our amazing wedding day. Alyson took the time to get to know my husband and I before she married us. I know I could call her at any time! She is funny and super easy going. Highly recommend Alyson if you are looking for the perfect ceremony! Many people came up to me during my wedding reception and asked who hosted the ceremony because he words were just perfect!! Thank you Alyson!!

Simply the best

Alyson was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding. She was responsive and always a joy to talk to. Our ceremony couldn't have been any better. On our rehearsal, she clearly ran through what will happen so that on wedding day we could be at ease. I'll say I run anxious and Alyson was the absolute most calming presence and I was so, so happy we got to work with her. She captured exactly what we wanted out of our love story/ceremony beautifully. Highly, highly recommend!

Amazing Experience

Alyson was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was kind, funny, caring, and took the time to personalize our ceremony in a way that made it so unique to us. Our guests loved the energy that she brought to the ceremony. We had so much fun planning with her and sharing our love story with her. She made our ceremony fun, relaxed, and special.
