When do you need the wedding officiant?

It’s free with no obligation to hire

Introduction: Congratulations! Though I'm an ordained nondenominational Christian minister (not an online "ordination") I perform both non-religious and religious weddings. I've officiated at around nine hundred marriage ceremonies, so I have plenty of experience in what makes an enjoyable ceremony. Having spent years working in radio, I have a voice folks enjoy hearing, and one that never needs a microphone to be heard. My writing skills have always been praised for custom crafting ceremonies to fit the exact needs of the moment, and the exact wishes of my clients. Also, I've spent time acting on the stage, so I know a bit about how to deliver my "lines" with style and grace without upstaging the two real stars of the show--the couple getting married! I perform weddings in Spanish, and have performed portions of ceremonies in eight other languages. I don't offer any packages or discounts, as I think straightforward pricing is the best. My fee is $225 for a wedding ceremony in the Charlotte region. This fee doesn't include a rehearsal, but if you wish to hire me to "run" your rehearsal I'll be happy to assist. My job is all about helping people find even more joy in what should be one of the very happiest days of their lives. I reduce stress, solve problems, and find answers. My very best wishes to you both, and I look forward to having the opportunity to help you!

      It was apparent Alex knows how to officiant a wedding. He was very helpful during the whole process beginning with vows to the actual ceremony.

      Wedding Officiant

      I came across Alex while searching for an officiant for our wedding. He was so responsive and easy to work with leading up to the wedding. He was flexible with us as we had to change dates due to the pandemic. During the service, he was cordial, well-spoken, and brought a wonderful level of humor to the event. I highly recommend Alex for your wedding.

      Wedding Officiant

      I wish this App would let me choose more than 3 traits for review! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this man for your wedding!! He drove all the way from NC to VA for one day just to marry us!! Arrived exactly on time to the ceremony as we had scheduled (1 hour before). He actually worked with us for months in writing the perfect ceremony for our wedding via email, and everything was tailored just for us. Ceremony was performed beautifully and he's got a great speaking voice. After the ceremony he told us to not hesitate to reach out if there was ever anything else we needed. He really loves what he does and he will do everything he can to make your day special!! (He is also very Covid-conscious and very safe! Hopefully we can upload a photo soon once the photographer is done processing them!) - Michaela from John and Michaela Crawford Wedding, Jan 2nd 2021

      Alex was great. He handled all of the parts of the ceremony and we chose exactly how we wanted it. He was quick to make the changes that we requested. A all around great experience!! He will always have a special place in Me and my Wife's heart and mind. Thanks again for making our Wedding one to remember forever!

    FAQs

    • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
      I simply charge a flat fee of $220 for performing a wedding in the Charlotte region. If you wish to have me "run" your rehearsal that's a separate charge which I'd be happy to discuss.
    • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
      I start by arranging for a deposit payment to reserve the date, and I immediately send them a legal contract as my bond and promise to do what I say I'll do. Then I'll ask questions to get the information I need to custom write their ceremony. I provide any information they need about marriage licenses and other legal details. I love getting questions from clients, and never tire of answering them. I want my customers to be totally comfortable with me, and confident they have made the best choice for their ceremony. I will always share the benefit of my experience in any area. Not long ago I provided restaurant recommendations for a couple honeymooning in West Palm Beach! It has nothing to do with the ceremony, but it's the information they needed from me.
    • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
      Of course there is my formal religious education, but most of what I have learned about marriage and wedding ceremonies has come from hard-won experience. Over time you learn what works and what doesn't, and I'm always writing new material to meet the requests of my clients, I'm always on the lookout for new trends in weddings in order to share ideas with my clients. Unity candles and unity sand are still big right now, and the "handfasting" ceremony is also popular with both religious and non-religious ceremonies. Fads come and go, but the center of the service--the promises, the joining of two hearts--stays the same.
