Meet Alise—Your Joyful Wedding Celebrant!
Hey there!
I’m Alise Snyder, and I’m thrilled to share a little about myself and my passion for crafting unforgettable ceremonies! Based in the charming, rural town of Standish, Maine—just a hop from Portland—I live with my wonderful husband of 34 years, our sweet old dog, a majestic horse, a sassy mini donkey named Michael, two adorable cats (Luna and Sunnie), and a crew of wild deer who love to visit. My heart’s full with family, too—my daughter and her husband just welcomed their first baby, and my son’s rocking it as the lead singer of his band, 5Cent Sundays!
When I’m not doting on my furry friends, I’m all about soaking up life’s simple joys—think sunny beach days with Kenny Chesney tunes, a glass of crisp Rosé, or curling up with a classic ‘90s rom-com (yes, I’m a sucker for a good love story!). I also love hunting for vintage treasures, indulging in chocolate cake, and making memories with my loved ones.
Oh, and I’ll let you in on a little secret: I’m a bit hooked on reality TV!
As a proud graduate of the Unboring Wedding Academy in Canada and Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant from the Celebrant Foundation and Institute in New Jersey, I’ve been weaving magic into weddings and ceremonies for nearly eight years, with over 100 big and small celebrations under my belt. I’m also a Licensed Maine Wedding Officiant and the proud owner of Little Robin Ceremonies.
Right now, I’m diving into advanced ceremony and handfasting training with the amazing Celebrant River Jones at the UK Order of Bairds, Ovates, and Druids—because I’m all about bringing fresh, heartfelt ideas to your special day!
There’s nothing I love more than creating personalized, meaningful ceremonies that capture your unique love story. From the moment you step down the aisle to the tear-jerking exchange of vows (yes, I might shed a happy tear or two!), I’m there to make every moment shine. It’s truly an honor to be part of such a beautiful chapter in your life.
A little more about me: I’m celebrating 34 years of marriage this year (love really does get better with time!), I’m an avid real estate investor, and I adore traveling to dreamy spots like Key West, palm-lined beaches, and the mystical vibes of Glastonbury, England. I’ve wandered through Stonehenge, felt the energy of Avebury, and even love reading Tarot cards—a fun passion from my 25 years as a commercial hair and makeup artist.
My life’s motto? The glass is always half full (or overflowing)! I’m all about kindness, honesty, and pouring my heart into everything I do. Whether I’m whipping up treats for friends or planning a day trip to North Conway, NH, I’m always chasing joy—and I bring that same energy to your ceremony.
I’m endlessly committed to growing as a celebrant through ongoing training, ensuring I bring you the very best. Whether it’s a wedding, vow renewal, baby naming, or even a pet celebration of life, I’m here to make your day sparkle with warmth, love, and a touch of magic.
I can’t wait to hear all about you and your love story! Let’s create a day that’s everything you’ve dreamed of and more.
With all my excitement and warmest wishes,
Alise Snyder
