We are so happy that we chose Allen to officiate our wedding!
Allen met with us many times throughout our wedding planning process to learn about our love story and to guide us th...
rough getting our marriage license. He was always ahead of schedule, getting us a draft of the ceremony months before our wedding, giving us plenty of time to make edits. He was very open to our feedback, though the first draft of the ceremony was incredible, and we only had to make a few small tweaks. We could tell that he really understood our connection and what makes our relationship special.
Allen crafts all his ceremonies himself, which makes his ceremonies particularly touching and genuine. The ceremony was nothing short of beautiful. It had the right balance of sincere and authentic tones, with some funny and sweet moments thrown in. His delivery was perfect; he was well-spoken, articulate, and just a great public speaker overall. Most people in the audience cried, and we got so many comments afterwards from our friends and family about how special the ceremony was and how much it touched them.
Allen officiated our wedding October 21, 2023. While celebrating our first anniversary and reminiscing on how perfect our day was, we were highlighting how big of a role Allen play...
ed to make that happen. I then realized I never wrote a review and now here I am! Allen was not only professional, but also so warm and crafted our dream ceremony with little effort on our part. I had so much anxiety about the wedding until he sent his first draft and it was near perfect, it felt like the whole day came together. He took the time to get to know my husband and me to make sure everything that was important to us was included. On the day of the wedding, he was so gracious and performed the ceremony so sincerely it moved almost all of our guests to tears. He wasn't just reading words on a page and we have found that to be a really rare quality. I can't express enough how thankful we are to Allen and what an excellent choice he would be for your wedding!

loped with Allen felt so genuine and organic and just came so naturally. So when it came to our wedding day, the ceremony was so beautiful and memorable, to the point our guests assumed we had known Allen for years. They were just as obsessed with him as we are. He helped calm our nerves and made everything run so smoothly. Not only was he personable but he was very professional from beginning to end. We HIGHLY recommend booking with Allen, we will be recommending him to anyone we come across looking for an officiant. THANK YOU ALLEN, YOURE THE BEST!!!!!!!

tions on the flow and content of the ceremony. His professionalism and friendly manner made him a joy to interact with throughout the process - even with very compressed timelines. He was polite and engaging with all the guests and dealt with everything we threw at him.
