Stacia N. Married on 06/06/2020A Magical COVID Ceremony
We had always planned on getting married in June, 2020, and decided that COVID wasn't going to stop us. While our day looked different than we had first imagined, Alyson created a personal, intimate, magical wedding ceremony during an incredibly challenging time. She was sensitive, responsive, collaborative, and incredibly kind. Her ceremony was uniquely personal, respectful of the current global climate, and she provided us with wise counsel and wonderful templates to use when writing our vows, etc. I feel so grateful to have found her. Alyson is very special, and is profoundly good at what she does. -

Brittany J. Married on 03/10/2020Alyson Joy helped create the most magical day of our lives!
The most magical day of my life. Alyson was a Joy to work with (pun intended). She inspired us from the moment we spoke on the phone, and was a pleasure to meet over Zoom where she gave an amazing background on what vows represent and inspired me to write the most heartfelt vows. The process with Alyson from start to finish was seamless. Alyson made everything so easy and relaxing. Her presence brought calm and peace to our wedding day. I couldn't imagine not having Alyson at our wedding and I only wish she could have stayed longer haha! The sound ceremony with the singing bowls was absolutely beautiful. It allowed us to focus solely on each other at the beginning of the ceremony, and again as we signed the papers. If you select Alyson to marry you, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Alyson for the most amazing day of our lives! -

Ana K. Married on 19/10/2019Outstanding wedding officiant!
We are so grateful to have Alyson as our wedding officiant! She is absolutely amazing and held a beautiful ceremony for us. You can really tell that Alyson cares about what she does -- she took the time to really get to know us as a couple and create exactly the type of ceremony we wanted. She was very happy to customize the ceremony in any way we wanted. Alyson has a wonderful, positive, calming, and serene aura that is absolutely perfect for a wedding ceremony! We really enjoyed working with her and getting to know her. We could not recommend her highly enough! Thank you Alyson for such a wonderful and memorable ceremony.Alyson Joy Ministry's reply:
It was truly an honour to work with both of you and be a part of your special day. I'm so thankful for the trust and I especially enjoyed our first meeting Ana. We had great chats! It was a pleasure getting to know both of you and your families. I wish you both the best and can't wait to hear about your next chapter. Hugs.

Shanzeh A. Married on 12/10/2019So Grateful!
Alex and I are so grateful Alyson could officiate our wedding last weekend (October 12, 2019).
The ceremony was by far my favourite part of the day for obvious reasons-but it would not have gone so smoothly and beautifully if it weren't for Alyson's efforts to meet us on multiple occasions, practice run-throughs, and her ability to keep us calm!
Alyson made the time to talk to video chat, meet for tea, and meet at her home so she could get to know us better and help prepare us for the big day. Alyson was very patient and understanding as she helped me understand all the little pieces of a Western wedding. In the end, Alyson ensured we had a thoughtful ceremony which incorporated our personalities and diverse backgrounds.
Thank you Alyson!
Love,
Shanzeh and AlexAlyson Joy Ministry's reply:
Shanzeh & Alex,
I am so happy for both of you and also grateful that you picked me to be a part of your special day. Every time the three of us met I felt the magic between both of you. :-) I especially felt it during your ceremony. Once again, congratulations and thank you for choosing me and for offering this kind message/review.
Hugs! -

Melissa I. Married on 05/10/2019Amazing Experience!
Alyson officiated my wedding this past weekend (Oct. 5) and she was amazing! From the very first conversation we had with her, we were certain she would be the right person for us. She is incredibly genuine and kind, and you can really tell that she loves and respects love and marriage. She allowed us to create our own ceremony from bits and pieces of other ceremonies she has done and let us personalize it so that it was true to us as a couple. She is very calming and super supportive! During the ceremony she did such a good job at keeping my husband and I calm and collected so neither of us was nervous up there in front of everyone. She really made it feel like it was just us there. I would definitely recommend her to any and everyone!Alyson Joy Ministry's reply:
Thank you for this kind review. I really enjoyed working with both of you and your wedding was truly magical. Thank you for choosing me to officiate your ceremony. Big Hugs.

Alice C. Married on 01/08/2021So friendly and professional
We booked Alyson a long time ago but had to delay things due to the pandemic. She was extremely flexible and warm in tailoring to our needs. She provided her services for a small civil ceremony and will be returning as our officiant at our actual wedding. Very professional and very sweet to work with. Would recommend to anyone. -

Melanie Married on 26/06/2021Backyard Wedding
Alyson was our officiant for our intimate backyard wedding ceremony. She was very personable and down to earth. During our meetings, she took the time to really get to know us and learn about our relationship. She had thoughtful suggestions for our vows and helped guide us through the process of creating our ceremony. We got many compliments on how beautiful and moving the ceremony was. We also met with Alyson for the rehearsal and everyone told us how much they enjoyed meeting and speaking with her. Thank you Alyson for being apart of our special day and making our ceremony so memorable!
