My name is Alise Snyder
I am a Certified Lifecycle Celebrant,
Licensed Residential Maine
Wedding Officiant, and 
Maine Notary.

I live a mellow life on a small farm in Southern Maine with my husband of 32 years, two dogs, a horse, and a mini donkey named Michael.

​

I love (besides my family and pets): hanging with my husband and kids, traveling, reality tv on Monday nights, a great glass of wine, all types of music, going to antique fairs, sappy/cheesy romance movies from the '90s - 2000s, vintage clothing, chocolate cake, and a sunny day spent at the beach listening to Kenny Chesney.

​

I graduated from the Celebrant Foundation and Institute in New Jersey in 2018 with certifications in both Wedding and Coupling Ceremonies and Funerals/End of Life Ceremonies. I am a Maine Notary Public and ordained through the American Marriage Ministries enabling me to officiate just about any place in the United States. 

​

As a Certified Lifecycle Celebrant and professional Maine Wedding Officiant,

I feel continually blessed to be part of such a special and transformational day for couples. I am a true romantic at heart and love every minute of a wedding ceremony, seeing the look in everyone's eyes when a couple begins their walk down the aisle (bigger tear-jerker moment), as couples say their vows of love and commitment and the moment the parents realize the depth of their love for their children as they let them go...(biggest tear-jerker moment for me).

​
