Minister Gilbert officiated our wedding and did a great job in tailoring it to me and my husband. The ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt and I loved our vows. In retrospect we should've had a microphone because no one else could hear. She arrived 15 mins later than expected due to difficulty in finding the address but it all worked out in the end.

Gilbert's Touch of Heaven Ministry's reply

We did take a wrong turn. Usually I arrive 30 minutes early to make sure license is signed, witnessed and then collect payment; that way after the wedding H/W can leave for the reception without delays. Kaylah's wedding was at 5pm. By the time I got there and signed everything, it was 5pm. So although my 1/2 hour schedule did not work, I was still right on time. Thank you Jesus.

Gilbert's Touch of Heaven Ministry's reply

It was very nice meeting you and Rueben. My first wedding in a prison. There is so much to go through to the chapel room. But both of you were tender hearted and it was event of the love you two have shared. You both wrote amazing vows. It may take some time, but remember to pray for your whole family and I will continue to do the same. Have a blessed marriage.

Alice was extra kind and attentions with us and prepared such a lovely and meaningful ceremony for our wedding that my groom and I will always cherish and remember as one of the most special days of our life! Alice was able to accommodate most if not all of my requests, gave me plenty of her time talking to me any time I had a question or needed anything and was super patient and friendly with us! I am thankful for choosing her and would recommend her services to all other brides and couples!

I remember the beach wedding ceremony. Unique way of doing the sand ceremony and the opportunity of meeting 3 wonderful people. Have a blessed marriage, and "Thank You" for choosing me.

Minister Alice went above and beyond to help us out on our wedding day. From helping me write my vows to coming up with great ideas like using unity candles to unite our families. My wife and I was very pleased with all the help that she gave us and arriving at our location 45 minutes early to make sure that everything was going smoothly and to see if we needed help with anything else. We would definitely recommend Minister Alice Gilbert to our family and friends. Thank you very much for everything that you did to help our wedding be a success. Sincerely Daniel and Barbara Collins.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I'm not complicated with the price of Gas and oil higher, TT rates changed for Pro Officiates. My prices were the lowest, but now I'm in the middle but not highest. My flat rate is $95.00 for Weddings, Rehearsal $40.00, Gas Allotments varies from city to city. Here is my mileage scale: B/g needs to remember where I drive to - is a round-trip back home: It is $30 round trip trip 50 miles, $40 round trip 60 miles, $75 for 50-60 miles one way. When you have Rehearsal & Wedding, that is 2 days driving back and forth to you venue, so the mileage is added second time. I have no hidden charges, but still have hidden gifts for B/G after they are married! I promise you a beautiful ceremony whether it's an elopement, elaborate or simply beautiful. ~ Thank you and Have a Blessed Day.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After I am chosen to do a couple's wedding, we exchange numbers and email. Go over different ideas, vows and ceremony styles. I love to incorporate moms and children into the ceremony when possible. Kids love the Sand Ceremony! The bride and groom are surprised at all the great things offered to them (free). After we get all the blanks filled in; we can set up a time for a face to face to go over the wedding outline I create for them. That's when it all comes together and they can make final changes. We all are pleased and leave more relaxed and confidant this wedding is going to be beautiful on their special day - after all, I promise it's "their way ~ their day." I love being part of making dreams come true!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been an Ordained Minister for many years. I have several diploma of classes taken from religious point of view. I didn't have to, but wanted to do it. I have a "Pastoral Counselor" and "Doctor of Divinity" in religion. I have also "Advanced Studies in Prophecy." So I've been in a service to God since my teens. I have no regrets. Although there were times I may have failed God, He has Never failed me. He truly is a God of a second chance. Don't worry, nobody is perfect and that's okay with me.
