The Authentic Officiant – Alana Ikezu Is Truly One of a Kind! We were absolutely thrilled with Alana Ikezu as our wedding officiant. From start to finish, she exuded professionalism, grace, and an incredible authenticity that made our ceremony unforgettable. Her presence was calming yet uplifting, and she had the unique ability to make every moment feel deeply personal and special. Her character is truly above amazing -warm, genuine, and uniquely inspiring. She took the time to understand us as a couple, and her words during the ceremony reflected that beautifully. It felt as though she truly cared about making our day perfect, and she succeeded in every way. If you’re looking for someone who brings heart, elegance, and authenticity to your wedding, Alana Ikezu is the ideal choice. She truly is one of a kind, and we are so grateful to have had her be part of our most important day.

Alana is a dream come true. Alana captured who we are and made us feel so special!! Our wedding guests were in awe of the quality of ceremony, it was beautiful. She is a beautiful person inside and out, and she infused our ceremony with all of her magic!! My husband and I have been on cloud 9! Her cadence, calmness, love, and the emotional energy she brought made our marriage truly incredible. We are full of gratitude that we found such an extraordinary human. From my first interaction with her, I knew she was the one and she still exceeded expectations!! What a gift. Thank you!!!

Not knowing what to expect when hiring someone online can be stressful but that’s not the case here! Alana was a pleasure to work with and more. From the ease of answering questions before booking her services, during the process after booking, and the days leading to the wedding. Her vibes were impeccable which made it easiest for me not to be so nervous on my wedding day. I had nothing but a great experience! Josh and I couldn’t be any happier!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am always looking to provide a discount or offer a special promotion for my clients! Please inquire for more details!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I generally touch base with inquiring clients a few days after they express interest! A quick phone call or even email or text thread generally works well for people, where you can get your questions answered and I can provide reassurance that I can exceed your expectations and really add value to your special day!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a background in healthcare with a master's degree in healthcare administration, which means lots of exposure to a large network of people including presenting and conversing at length, making officiating extremely comfortable for me!
