So glad to have found Al

As I reminisce about my wedding, I can't help but think of Al and how much he contributed in making our day special. Al, thank you for officiating our wedding. You were efficient, funny, warm, flexible... Your sense of humor, your creativity in helping us orchestrate a bilingual wedding, your warm personality, your guidance made us feel taken care of. We are so glad to have found you. Could not have asked for a better officiant. Al, thank you again.

I was an extremely particular bride in terms of who I wanted to marry us. My husband and I met quite a few officiants before we met Al, from the first meeting I was comfortable with him and asked him to marry us by the end of our meeting. He has a high level of professionalism, very friendly and welcoming, as well as is extremely organized. The website that he has set up to make our ceremony template was a huge time saver.

The suggestions for each of the three requirements for a legal ceremony were also very helpful.

He was extremely accommodating and respectful of our requests.

He made our day amazing, and most importantly provided peace of mind. I would highly recommend Al, one of the best decisions of our wedding was hiring him.

Al Howse performed our wedding ceremony so flawlessly as if he had known us for years. He has a very special job in this world to translate the love two people share with each other so that those all around them understand and admire that love with his words. My husband and I are so very grateful that he was there and now we consider him a part of our extended family.
