Barbara is warm, professional, reliable and passionate about what she does. She is a great communicator and really listens to clients so that she knows what they need for their wedding ceremony to go just how they want it to. She has performed hundreds of weddings, and she makes sure to put couples at their ease so they’re completely comfortable for their wedding ceremony.

We would very highly recommend Creative Ceremonies of New York and Rev Barb. She is wonderful to work with throughout the entire process and we loved our wedding ceremony! We were in a bit of a time squeeze, and Rev Barb not only accommodated to our schedules but also made an effort to get to know us and personalize the ceremony to meet our needs and our personalities. It was a pleasure working with her and we were lucky she was able to be part of our special day!

We booked a very last minute renewal of vows with Rev. Barbara. She was so accommodating and helpful taking the time to write our vows (and made is VERY personable). She sent a questionnaire to us (so that it would be personable) and writing our vows for us within 24 hrs !!! She also went to the extra mile with us in searching for cool places to renew vows and did all the research for a carriage ride afterwards since we are not from NY, we had no clue ! (All of this within a couple of days !!) She went above and beyond for us in making this so special for us !!!!
I highly recommend Rev. Barbara !!!! You won't be disappointed !!!!!

Barbara Nahmias is an unbelievably perfect officiant!

She made our wedding extra special by being the exact officiant that we desired. We were behind schedule, but Barbara saved the day. After an initial (and fun) talk / consultation with my wife and I, she crafted the perfect ceremony, and was quick and accommodating to help us make a few small changes to make it perfect for us.

She is extremely professional, very nice and caring, and worked hard and promptly to make sure we had the perfect ceremony. Barbara even put in extra work by checking up on us as the wedding day approached to make sure we were fully prepared for the big day.

Highly recommended, Barbara Nahmias should be the first officiant you call!

Finding a wedding officiant proved to be much more difficult than we could have predicted. My husband and I wanted a nondenominational, nontraditional, warm and light ceremony and when we finally found Barbara we were immediately sold. She worked with us to tailor our ceremony to fit exactly what we wanted, and it truly felt like working with someone, who has known us for years. She really understood us as a couple and as individuals and gave us plenty of options to choose from, as well as ideas for things we would not have even thought of.

Before creating the script for our ceremony, Barbara had both of us fill out a “couples questionnaire” separately – this was such a special an unique experience, as in the midst of wedding planning an stressing, my husband and I were able to take some time to reflect on all the wonderful qualities of our relationship and reasons for why we love one another. Barbara then used our responses to weave them into our ceremony, which was just so touching. All of our friends and family have been telling us how special and intimate our ceremony was, and we could not agree more.

Moreover, Barbara helped us stay on track as far as scheduling/timing, making sure everything was fully in order for the day of the ceremony. She was always prompt and thorough with email responses and phone calls, and worked with our wedding party, wedding coordinator and DJ to orchestrate the timing of the aisle procession, music, standing arrangement, etc so that everything was perfect.

We could not be more grateful to Barbara for the beautiful ceremony she created for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I was in a bit of a tough spot. I was pregnant and we wanted to do a quickie marriage for insurance reasons and then have our "wedding" in 6 months. We could have gone to the courthouse, but decided it would be best to meet the person who we would use for our actual ceremony. I spoke to 3 different officiants and when I spoke with Barbara, I knew she was who we wanted to use. Immediately, I could feel her warmth through the phone. She is thoughtful and truly cares about her work as an officiant. And, though we really wanted the first ceremony to be a quickie, no rings, and really just a paper marriage, it was my best decision yet to have Barbara, because the truth is, it was special, even if we planned to do a big event in a few months.
First, she immediately responded to my inquiry via email. Because we needed to get the insurance ASAP, she was AMAZING about being flexible and available the next week. Again, we wanted a short ceremony, we didn't even have rings at that point, she managed to make a short ceremony of vows into a special moment incorporating this beautiful hand ceremony. We had three friends there and all were amazed we had randomly found her and she wasn't recommended, each exclaimed "She was amazing." Barbara spoke to both me and my husband prior so she got to know us. And, took time to write out a ceremony, even though this wasn't the BIG wedding.
Barbara is a person cares about the couples she weds and will bring her unique voice and touch to your ceremony.
I can't wait for her to marry us in front of 200 people!

If you want a ceremony that celebrates your love and your individual selves - Rev Barbara is the person for you. Since the first conversation, she was warm and extremely helpful. She paid attention to our (very different) cultures and our (very similar) ideologies and created a ceremony that was fun, relaxed, and full of love. She was very friendly and respectful to our guests as well. I cannot recommend her enough!

Rev Barbara was a fabulous choice from the moment we chose her up until our ceremony was over. She is kind and warm, just what you would want from an officiant. She made my husband (love to say that!) and I feel comfortable along the process and guided us when needed. We feel like we've known her forever. She was able to make some quick changes and give us plenty of advice from our vow to our ceremony location. I would recommend to use her as your officiant! I foresee her in our future for when it's time to expand our family! Thank you for being so wonderful, Rev Barbara!
