  Best Officiant!

  From our first phone call with Susan, I knew she was the person I wanted to officiate our wedding. We were looking for an interfaith officiant who would be able to create a personalized ceremony that was a reflection of who we were as a couple and Susan delivered that and so much more. She weaved in my Jewish heritage in a subtle and modern way, exactly what I was hoping for. After the ceremony, we had many guests come up to us saying that it was the nicest, best ceremony that had ever been to. They were impressed by Susan’s way with words and how she was able to capture us as a couple so perfectly. We are so thankful we found Susan and if you are looking for an officiant who can tailor a ceremony to fit your unique wants and needs, hire her today!

  We're so glad that Susan officiated our wedding!

  We had a wonderful experience with Susan and would highly recommend her to officiate your wedding. Even though we found Susan not too long before our wedding, she made the effort to really get to know us as a couple, spending hours on zoom asking us thoughtful and intentional questions that made our ceremony feel really personal. We had a great time talking to her and reflecting on ourselves as a couple. She also incorporated our Jewish and Filipino rituals that we wanted to be part of the ceremony seamlessly. Susan kept us on schedule, regularly checking in to make sure we were moving along plans for the ceremony and our vows, and we appreciated the accountability that kept us on track. Susan also let us give feedback - we had some particulars around language that we wanted, and Susan was always happy to incorporate our edits and changes, which we appreciated. Susan was very kind, open-minded, progressive, and genuine, which was what we were looking for. Our ceremony felt really personal and true to us as a couple, and many of our guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was and what a great job Susan did. We highly recommend Susan!

  couldn't have been a better match

  Susan became such an integral part of our wedding day and experience. She did such a beautiful job at capturing our relationship, journey and love. So many of our guests complimented the ceremony (many said it was their favorite part of the wedding), and quite literally everyone was in tears. We are so grateful to Susan and the hard work she put into planning our ceremony and genueintly getting to know my husband and I. Beyond, beyond, beyond recommended.

  Susan is the best!!

  Susan was the most amazing and professional celebrant we could have ever dreamed of having. She tailored the ceremony to our unique personalities and made it feel like an eternally special moment, instead of just a countdown to cocktail hour. The amount of compliments we received on the ceremony and Susan were more than I ever could have expected, the only complaint anyone had is that we don't have a video of the ceremony because it was so good!!!
  
  Long story short I would strongly recommend Susan for anyone, especially to couples who may be interfaith or come from different traditions, as her ability to craft a personal and custom narrative was just tremendous.

  Susan Turchin

  Susan helped us create our perfect wedding. She took a great deal of time to get to know us and our story. She made our ceremony very personal and incorporated the different spiritual and religious elements that she knew were meaningful to my husband and myself. She went above and beyond on the day before our wedding and came to our venue to lead the bridal party in a helpful rehearsal. Many of our wedding guests commented on how beautiful and moving the ceremony was and how wonderful Susan was. She even wore a purple robe to match my purple bridesmaids. We are so grateful to Susan for making our special day everything we dreamed it would be!

  Susan is the best

  Susan was fantastic, you should hire her if you want to have a beautiful, stress-free ceremony. She even helped us write our own vows.

  Personalized & Perfect

  My husband and I planned a fast wedding with only 15 guests. We were referred to Susan in a daisy chain of referrals but were beyond thrilled. She happily FaceTimed with us multiple times, helped us SO much in thinking through the options for the ceremony, marriage guidance and vows. You could say we’re a little particular but Susan was so personal (and lighthearted in the right moments) throughout the ceremony. My husband and I have been to countless weddings and of course we’re biased but she was incredible. Our guests commented all night what a great it experience it was. Please consider her!

  Thank you Jordan for your sweet words. I hope that you know how much I adored working with you every moment. You are a very special couple and I couldn’t have been more thrilled to have the honor of uniting your lives. You planned everything so perfectly.

  Day I’ll always remember

  Everyone is still raving about our ceremony. I feel like I was able to be so present. This day was so special. She took the time to make this day individualized.

  Above and beyond!

  Our decision to have Susan officiate our wedding was likely the best choice we made during wedding planning. She became a friend and mentor in the year since we met her. She is extremely thorough in her process to get to know each couple and weaved our own words about each other into the ceremony which made it extremely personal. Susan helped us navigate changing our wedding plans during a pandemic and was communicative and flexible throughout the process. Because of Susan, we were able to get married on the day we planned and our friends and family raved about what an intimate and personal ceremony it was, even though they were watching over Zoom. We really enjoyed working with Susan and felt that she went above and beyond numerous times. Hiring Susan as your wedding officiant will make your wedding day even more joyful!

  A beautiful wedding ceremony from Susan!

  It was so wonderful having Susan officiate our New Year's Eve wedding. My fiance and I, an interfaith couple, found Susan through The Knot and had an in-person meeting with her several months back. She was warm and made you feel as if you'd known her for years. She asked very inquisitive questions about us as a couple, individuals, our hopes and goals. She made sure she diligently learned who we were so that she could create a ceremony that was deeply personal and authentic to us. And boy did she deliver! Her words were thoughtful and definitely moved us and our guests. Many of our guests approached me throughout the night that our ceremony was one of the best they've ever experienced - a combination of how Susan spoke about us, how she incorporated our two religions, the flow, etc. She's also very thorough and communicative in the planning process. She set us up with the need-to-know information about acquiring a marriage license, shared guidance for writing our own vows, and shared a few drafts of the ceremony script and flow for our review and input. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Susan for your upcoming wedding!

  Ceremony in Central Park

  Susan was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish and really made our wedding ceremony very special. She took the time to get to know us, from the questionnaire to the skype call beforehand and created a beautiful, touching and perfectly personalised ceremony for our small, intimate Central Park wedding. Everyone commented on how well the ceremony was put together and how nice, thoughtful and professional Susan was. I cannot compliment her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to perform their wedding.

  Personalized and touching ceremony

  Susan married us with the most beautiful ceremony - even our wedding photographer said it was one of the most beautiful and touching ceremonies she had ever witnessed. Susan effortlessly crafted something that represented who my husband and I are as a couple. She is such a kind, warm and inclusive officiant and we feel privileged to have her marry us.

  Amazing experience - Wedding 6/14/19

  We loved everything about our ceremony and weeks later are still receiving positive feedback and compliments about how beautiful the words were. Susan created something personal, unique and memorable for us. She took the time to learn who we are, our story and what this day meant for us as a family. We can’t thank her enough for the most perfect day!

  From the moment I spoke to Susan, I knew she was the perfect person to renew our parents vows for their 50th Anniversary. It was a surprise for them before we went to dinner that night, so she was very accommodating and patient. She made the ceremony personal and very special as they chose their location in Central Park for the ceremony. My parents were so happy and touched by all the details. She's a true professional and she even gave them a copy of the ceremony to keep. She's easy going, very sweet and I'm so glad to have had her to make this the perfect day for our wonderful parents! I would recommend her to anyone. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.

  We couldn't have been happier with our decision to have Susan Turchin officiate our wedding. Susan puts in adequate time and effort to get to know each couple and collects the best information to share during their ceremony. She literally captured the attention of everyone in the room by bringing our love story to life. Susan is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about her clients. She calms all nerves and makes you feel extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend Susan Turchin to any couple looking for a non-religious ceremony with a little twist of fun!!

  Susan was a complete pleasure to deal with from “Nice to meet you,” to “I do!” She took the time to really get to know us as individuals and as a couple. Our ‘homework’ assignments were helpful, insightful, and a delightful way to reflect on what it was we were about to partake in. Since the ceremony, we have received a myriad of compliments about how personal and intimate the ceremony felt (even with 200+ guests!), and how people had never been a part of a wedding ceremony that was so tailored to the couple. Susan took every suggestion, every comment, and every question to heart to make sure that by the wedding day, we had exactly the perfect ceremony we wanted. She was also genuinely happy for us. It is evident that Susan loves what she does and loves love as much as the couples she is marrying. We couldn’t recommend Susan enough. Our wish for every couple getting married from this day on, is that they have the opportunity to have a ceremony as exquisite as ours. And you will be sure to get that if you go with Susan Turchin - she’s an absolute gem!
  With love and deep breaths,
  Sean and Jeff!

  Susan did such a perfect job of our wedding. We had a fairly complex wedding with 3 different religions between the bride and groom. Susan did an amazing job at blending all of them in our ceremony and made everyone feel very welcome. In the small time frame we had, she was able to make the ceremony entertaining, thorough, and emotional, which was exactly what we were looking for. Having spoken to wedding officiants before Susan, I was instantly blown away by how professional and organized she was. If I could do it all again, I wouldn't do anything different.

  Susan was able to stitch together a non-traditional ceremony with a lot of celtic and Quaker traditions! It was a fusion of all things we were interested in incorporating (hand fasting, calls and response, meditation) and I was worried it was going to seem confused and chaotic, but Susan took the reins and melded our ideas into something that was cohesive, cogent and beautiful. We worked together through several drafts and she was always on top of it. She made phonetic notes for names, ensuring the proper pronunciation, and really helped guide us through what a ceremony means, when the appropriate time for rings exchange would be in a complicated ceremony such as ours, etc. For those of you who are Virgos like me here are some additional notes: Her voice is pleasant and gentle. Her appearance is understated fancy- she is not competing in photos and wears subdued clothing but is also very clearly there as the guide to the ceremony, she is very responsive to email and text should you need to freak out a little. And she didn't crack any unapproved jokes or anything like that- she was prepared and knew the kind of sophisticated but unique tone we were going for. I felt like I could trust her to guide us and our guests and it worked out wonderfully.

  Susan was amazaing all throughout the process. She helped us put together a multi-cultural and spiritual yet not religious ceremony that all of our guests really appreciated. On our side, she was even better on stage - was able to engage everyone and gave a true sense of intimacy capturing the essence of the moment without appearing staged. We are forever thankful, her presence and thoughtful, inspiring words were a true blessing in an unforgettable ceremony.

  If you are looking for a personalized ceremony, Susan is the person to work with. Susan was such a pleasure to work with. She took time to meet with us before the event to learn about our relationship. She asked lots of questions about our families, and relationship -- this really helped to personalize the ceremony. She even shared a draft of the sermon with us before the event so that we could make changes if we wanted. I would highly recommend Susan! She will make your ceremony one to remember!

  Susan was incredibly easy and wonderful to work with! She is detail oriented and took the time in getting to know my fiancé (now husband) and myself and our relationship. She is indeed passionate and was dedicated in making our ceremony perfect and it was great how she worked with us and was interested in getting our feedback throughout the process. We highly recommend Susan and would hope she would conduct our vow renewal someday. :-)

  Book Susan and do not give it a second thought! My (now husband) and I knew we wanted to have her be a part of our ceremony from the moment we met. She is very down to earth and easy to get along with, she listened to all my nonsense and even allowed several edits of the ceremony. She added a warmth to our ceremony that I didn't think was possible and it was also something I never witnessed before as a guest during other weddings. Our friends and family fell in love with her as much as we did and we are still getting compliments and rave reviews!!! I truly hope our paths cross again and I hope to see her at future events. She's the best!

  Susan was absolute fantastic!! Planned a surprise wedding for my fiance in central park and it was on very short notice for her. She worked with me to make the ceremony beautiful and personal, even on short notice, me , my fiance, and family loved it. She was patient, helpful and very sweet and understanding throughout this process. I could not recommend Susan enough and my now wife! and family would say the same, and our wedding was perfect and a dream come true. Fantastic officiant!!!!

  My husband and I couldn't have been more pleased with Susan Turchin. Her ceremony was well written and full of meaning, I had many guests come up to me afterward to say how beautiful it was. I am a practicing Wiccan and wanted to incorporate that into the ceremony but not to the point where my guests would feel disconnected or turned off, she helped me find the right balance and set up a lovely alter. She is very creative, and a lovely person herself as well as a fantastic interfaith minister.

  Our experience with Susan was tremendous and couldn't have had aked for a better officiant for our special day. From the first time we met Susan made us feel comfortable and was very calming throughout the process. Her work is creative and considers all the personal aspects you could want in an intimate, touching ceremony. She was truly accommodating and professional in every aspect and took the time to get to know us before putting any pen to paper. On the day of the wedding everything went so well even with some last minute additions (literally)!!! It was only a perfect celebration and ceremony because of people like Susan and we can't thank her enough. Susan's experience, calmness, and personality were invaluable and we only wish shecould have stayed with us longer for dinner.
  
  We received so many compliments on the ceremony and how it was so natural, heart-felt, and touching. Now we fully understand why Susan and her services received such great recommendations!!!!!
