LIZ & RICHARD
Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California
June 2018

"Alex was a fantastic celebrant. Her planning helped give us new ideas, really envision the ceremony and stay true to humanist principles. The ceremony was everything we wanted; fun, informal and a true reflection of who we are as a couple. Cannot recommend Alex enough."

Richard and Liz had a nuclear-family-only, intimate beach wedding in California. The spot was local to them, it symbolised home. The family were a mixture of atheist and Catholic, with ages spanning from 4 years to 70.
With such a close circle of guests, it was important for Liz and Richard to hold a shared experience. Every guest read out a contribution, and the ceremony was held in a physical circle.
Even a few surprised dog walkers got in on it!
The ceremony was followed with champagne and a miniature beach party.
"Our ceremony was tailored to us and really reflected our personalities through all aspects of the event. Alex was sure to be inclusive of everyone attending, and there was even a quote from Conan the Barbarian - a difficult feat to achieve for a wedding.
The entire ceremony truly spoke to who we are as a couple. She worked with us to really
get to the crux of our story and how to make our ceremony individually tailored to the experience we wanted. Not only were we, the couple, very happy, but even the more traditional, religious attendees were impressed with the care, love, and attention to detail that Alex put into our ceremony.
Alex's strength comes in her theatrical delivery, her drive to custom tailor our ceremony, and her warm, lovely nature makes her a pleasure to work with. If you're looking for a customized, non-traditional, anything is possible ceremony that you and your guests will remember for years to come - Alex can't be beat."
