Amazing experience!

Pastor Alison officiated our wedding last week and she was extremely easy to work with! She helped us create the most beautiful ceremony that was tailoired to us and was exactly what we wanted. Even our guests were raving about how sweet the ceremony was all evening! She made us feel comfortable throughout the planning process and during the wedding. We would highly recommend her to other couples!

Pastor Alison was a huge part in making our day special.

She was SO accommodating to what we specifically wanted for our ceremony, which was to include my daughter and my now husband to recite vows to my daughter as well as me. Seeing as we came as a package deal! Alison was so in tune with us and gave us exactly what we wanted and envisioned. She is such a wonderful caring person. Thank you Alison! You are such an amazing person and fantastic at everything you do! The Gale Family

Wonderful Job!

Pastor Alison performed our wedding and did such a wonderful job! She has lots of material if you need ideas, and I felt no judgment from her for not wanting to go with a traditional religious ceremony. She really made it a low-stress part of the wedding planning process :)

I can't recommend her enough.

We just got married 2 months ago by Pastor Alison. From the very beginning, we knew she was going to do an amazing job. She gave us the opportunity to fully customize our whole ceremony, but also guided us along the way and gave us an amazing selection of text to use as a starting point. I was beyond delighted with the ceremony itself, the whole thing went completely smoothly and everyone loved the tone and how it flowed. To make things even better, she went above and beyond even after the ceremony, helping smooth out wedding events and even helped me bustle my dress. I couldn't imagine our day with anyone else as our officiant. Thanks to Pastor Alison our ceremony will always be remembered affectionately by many, and we couldn't have done it without her help!

Thank you, Alison!

Alison planned and conducted two wedding ceremonies I attended in the past year - her own wedding and my daughter's. On both occasions she brought about an event that was unique, beautiful, and focused on the feelings and commitment that truly matter in the celebration. Our own and my son-in-law's families are very diverse in terms of ethnic origin and spiritual practices, and Alison worked with this and found a way to make it meaningful for all of us.

She offered lots of terrific suggestions to make our tenth anniversary service something very special. We were honored to have her officiate our vow renewal.
