NYC Elopement

We hired Annie as our officiant for our NYC elopement in March 2024.
We travelled from Ireland to elope in NYC and had Annie officiate our sunrise elopement in Brooklyn.
The moment we met Annie she was so warm friendly and caring. Our ceremony was so beautiful and she made us feel so relaxed. Her beautiful words will stay with us forever. We could not have chosen a more perfect officiant.
Thank you so much Annie, you are truly amazing and so gifted in your work.
