We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. She was easy to work with from the very start—warm, professional, and open to our ideas. She embraced our unique setting and delivered a ceremony that felt deeply meaningful and perfectly suited to us. Her delivery had real presence and gravitas, making the moment feel both intimate and profound. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who brings heart, grace, and depth to the occasion.

Hands down—best day ever! We had the absolute pleasure of having Chris marry us in the beautiful gazebo in the gardens at the Hilton Garden Inn. It was 10 days ago and everyone is still talking about how amazing and wonderful Chris is. Even though the sun was beating down on us in that hot gazebo, he treated our love story with so much care and professionalism, and delivered the most beautiful words. Our guests were hanging onto every moment. He has a very unique approach to marrying couples and his skills definitely shine. His delivery was heartfelt, humorous, and thoughtful. He made our ceremony so personal that our guests were coming up to us during the reception asking if he was our lifelong friend. He truly goes above and beyond. It was a spectacular day that began with an absolutely wonderful ceremony that people will be talking about for a long time to come! Excellent! We couldn’t be happier!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with OFFICIANT NYC, and especially with Alex, who officiated our wedding. From the very beginning, Alex was warm, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made the entire ceremony feel deeply personal and meaningful. On the day of our wedding, Alex brought such a calm and reassuring presence. He spoke beautifully, struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and lighthearted, and truly captured our story in a way that felt authentic to us. What really stood out was Alex’s attention to detail and genuine care. He guided us through the process with ease, answered all our questions, and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. We felt completely confident and supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for an officiant who is thoughtful, engaging, and truly passionate about what he does, we cannot recommend OFFICIANT NYC—and especially Alex—highly enough. He made our ceremony unforgettable, and we’re so grateful he was the one who married us.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Cantor Reut was absolutely fantastic in understanding our vision for a deeply personal and meaningful ceremony. She spent so much time with us leading up to the wedding, making sure we felt mentally prepared and walking through every detail to ensure it was exactly what we wanted—not just for us, but for our family and friends experiencing it alongside us. She took the time to really get to know us, which made all the difference when she shared our love story so beautifully during the ceremony. She also helped guide us through writing our vows, which felt so special and authentic because of her support. We especially appreciated having Cantor Reut as a couple who is Jewish but not affiliated with a specific temple—she brought such warmth, intention, and connection, and truly made it feel like she was part of our family. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring, and incredibly talented officiant.

We feel incredibly honored to have had Reverend Lou officiate the start of our marriage. In the weeks leading up to the ceremony, he took the time to truly get to know us—asking thoughtful, meaningful questions about our relationship and beautifully weaving our story into the service. For two people unfamiliar with the process of getting married, Reverend Lou was an incredible guide. We learned so much from him, not only about the ceremony itself, but about love and partnership more broadly. His recommendations—from poetry to books—were deeply meaningful; in particular, introducing us to The Five Love Languages is something we now reference often, and it has genuinely strengthened our relationship. His experience and guidance were invaluable, especially in helping us create a smooth, joyful procession for both our bridal party and guests. On the wedding day, he arrived fully prepared, walked us through all the necessary paperwork, led a practice run with ease, and ultimately delivered a flawless ceremony. What stood out most was the depth and intention he brought, balanced with just the right touch of humor—our guests were fully engaged and deeply moved throughout. All of our families absolutely loved him, and he brought such a sense of warmth and joy to the entire experience. We are so grateful that Reverend Lou was the one to begin this new chapter of our lives—and we carry that same joy with us as we look toward the future.

David and I wanted to thank you for officiating at Leah and Sam's wedding last evening. The service was so beautiful, spiritual and meaningful. We received so much positive feedback from our guests who were really impacted by the service and appreciated your beautiful voice and your explanations of the rituals. It was a magical ceremony and we felt the presence of our loved ones who are no longer physically with us. With much gratitude, Terry and David

We cannot thank Cantor Shimon enough for stepping in and making our dream wedding happen under the most unexpected circumstances! Our original officiant canceled on us just THREE WEEKS before our December wedding, and I was absolutely panicking. When I reached out to Shimon, he immediately responded with such warmth and reassurance that I literally cried tears of relief. Despite the incredibly tight timeline, Shimon made us feel like we were his only couple. He scheduled multiple video calls with us, asked all the right questions, and created a ceremony that was so personal you'd think we'd been working together for months. He took what could have been a stressful disaster and turned it into the most beautiful, meaningful moment of our lives. Shimon showed up early, bundled but smiling, and his energy immediately put everyone at ease. He kept the ceremony perfectly paced — intimate and heartfelt but efficient enough that our guests didn't turn into popsicles! His guitar playing and singing added such warmth (literally and figuratively) to the cold day. What really blew us away was how Shimon made it feel like he'd known us forever. He wove in stories about how we met, our love of hiking, and even made a joke about our stubbornness in refusing to move the ceremony indoors despite the weather. Our families still talk about how special and authentic the ceremony felt. Shimon is talented, professional, flexible, and genuinely one of the kindest people we've ever met. If you need someone who can handle pressure with grace, create magic on short notice, and officiate a ceremony that will have your guests talking for years — he's your person. We are forever grateful!

We are so incredibly grateful to Rabbi Jack for the beautiful, meaningful, and heartfelt ceremony he led on our wedding day. From the very beginning, Rabbi Jack brought such warmth, wisdom, and intention to the entire process, and it truly meant the world to us. His guidance helped us create a ceremony that felt deeply personal and reflective of who we are as a couple. The way Rabbi told our story, wove in tradition, and spoke with such sincerity made the moment unforgettable—not only for us, but for everyone who was there to celebrate with us. We feel so lucky to have had him standing with us as we began this new chapter. His presence brought a sense of calm, joy, and spirituality that we will carry with us always. Thank you Rabbi Jack for everything you did to make our ceremony so special. It was truly perfect. With heartfelt appreciation! We recommend Rabbi Jack with this highest ratings.
