Hope was the officiant for our wedding and was the perfect decision for us! My partner and I are of different ethnicities and different religions. We struggled finding an officiant because we wanted 1) a neutral third-party; that 2) could provide a secular service; while 3) also incorporating some cultural aspects (e.g. Jewish breaking of the glass). That is a pretty tight line to walk, but Hope was incredibly thoughtful and flexible in her approach. We felt comfortable right away and well-understood during our exchanges. Hope nailed it pretty much on her first draft, and finalizing the ceremony was one of the most seamless parts of our planning.
On the day of, Hope’s execution was amazing! We loved seeing her words come to life and she was one of the most talked about parts of our wedding. Our guests were impressed with her presence, her writing, and the atmosphere that she created to honor our relationship.
We loved working with Hope and would highly recommend her for your wedding!

We found Hope through a recommendation from our photographer. Hope has so much energy and zeal. She walked us through how she creates a ceremony in so much detail that we pretty much immediately knew that we wanted to work with her. Hope did such an amazing job at helping us with any and all questions, suggesting ideas to fill out the ceremony (we ended up having a wine box), and making the experience so personal that many people asked if she was a family friend. We are so happy that we were able to work with Hope, and absolutely recommend working with her if you are looking for a caring, attentive officiant who will make your ceremony truly about you and your partner.

If you're looking for an officiant who will make your wedding ceremony unforgettable, look no further than Hope! From start to finish, Hope was an absolute delight to work with. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and really listened to our vision for our ceremony.

On the big day, Hope truly exceeded our expectations. She managed to strike the perfect balance between heartfelt and humorous, incorporating elements of our love story that left our guests in tears of joy. Her delivery was flawless and her words resonated deeply with everyone present.

We received countless compliments on our ceremony throughout the night, with many guests commenting that it was the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony they had ever witnessed. We couldn't agree more - thanks to Hope, our wedding ceremony was truly magical.

If you want an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, you can't go wrong with Hope. She is an absolute gem and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our wedding day. Thank you, Hope, for everything!

A meaningful ceremony was one of my top wedding priorities so having the right officiant was super important. Hope far exceeded my expectations and I couldn't recommend her more highly to couples who want a personalized ceremony that isn't just going through the motions. Hope took the time to get to know us both as individuals and as a couple, and imbued our ceremony with little tidbits that showed she'd really been listening. She wrote a beautiful ceremony that reflected our values and our priorities.

I'd also highly recommend Hope's wedding yoga packages - she did a session at my bachelorette party that was absolutely the highlight of the weekend.

Hope was amazing to work with from the first time I met her to the ceremony. My husband and I did pre marital counseling with Hope and it truly helped us grow in our relationship. We learned things about each other we did not know and gained guidance on how to continue to make our love work forever.
In addition, Hope really captured our vibe of the ceremony. I really wanted our ceremony to be personal, lighthearted, fun and entertaining. Hope was charismatic, loving, made us feel comfortable and captured our love perfectly. Hope even showed up early and was able to calm my nerves before. She anticipated everything we needed and brought this amazing energy. I am so grateful we had her officiate us and am sad our sessions are over because I always looked forward to her amazing energy and outlook on life. Hope thank you so much for everything! We miss you already.

We connected Hope with our wedding officiant (groom's best friend) to help him put together a vaguely Jewish-yet-pretty-secular ceremony.

While we weren't involved with the actual consultation, the result and the notes that our officiant gave us on our vows and ceremony ideas showed that she brought her years of experience to bear while still letting our collective visions shine.

If you need help with your wedding ceremony in any capacity, do yourself a favor and reach out to Hope!

She rapped during our ceremony… Do I need to say more?! 😂 Hope is so lovely and pleasant to work with! She made me realize that wedding ceremony can be fun and I still have more to learn and share with a man I was going to marry after being together for 8 years. My husband and I had a beautiful moment when we exchanged our vows and she was there to guide us through. Even after the postponement, I am so grateful that we were able to work with her. She is THE BEST. If we ever decide to renew our vows, I know who I’m going to call!

HOPE was our Officiant dream come true. She created and delivered a wonderful ceremony for us and made our day very special. She was also extremely patient, friendly and helpful. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO ALL COUPLES looking for an officiant in NY!

Hope is an amazing officiant and helped us put together the best and most ‘us’ ceremony we could have imagined.
My husband is half-Japanese, and we decided to fold paper cranes for our unity ceremony. Hope did her own research into the significance of this tradition and added relevant, heartfelt details that we didn’t think of. She also took our questionnaire responses closely into account and presented us with a wonderful surprise at the end of our ceremony - the candy we ate on our first date!
Before the wedding, she asked us to send her our vows privately and provided us (especially the groom) with much needed assistance. We received so many compliments on the ceremony and we can’t thank Hope enough for kickstarting our marriage in a way that we will remember forever.

My now husband and I had a zoom ceremony officiated by Hope during the covid-19 quarantine in NYC. She made the process incredibly easy and stress free! She was very quick to respond to emails and flexible making sure she fit us in before the executive order allowing zoom weddings expired. I highly recommend Hope, she could not have been nicer.
