About
Hello! Welcome. My name is Franny Civitano and I am wedding officiant, day-of coordinator, and ceremony ghostwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. and works in all five boroughs and beyond.
I believe that a partnership between two people is strongest when those people count themselves as individuals—whole, complete, and flawed individuals—who make a choice every day to continue their partnership. You want to make each other better, and together you are stronger. Whether this partnership takes the form of legal marriage, life-long togetherness, or something else entirely, it requires diligence, forgiveness, and a little magic.
Your ceremony is arguably the most important part of your wedding. It will set the tone for the rest of your day, and your marriage. I want it to feel like it was written just for you, and couldn’t belong to anyone else. I have a lot of ideas and will express those in my own way on paper, but I never perform a ceremony unless I know that the couple stands behind it and feels like it is representative of you and your partnership.
Services Offered
I will work with you to make sure your wedding ceremony is exactly what you want it to be, whether that be a short and sweet elopement, or a perfectly unique ceremony that brings your story to life.
- Officiant + day-of coordinator: starting 45 days in advance, I help create a wedding timeline for you and become the point of contact for your day-of needs, including performing a custom ceremony.
- Custom ceremony: about 15 minutes in length, you and your partner answer a questionnaire so I can get to know you as individuals and how you are together in a partnership, including how you met, what kept you together, and what you're looking forward to.
- Simple ceremony: about 5 minutes in length, I have two pre-written ceremonies to choose from that are short, sweet, and perfect for elopments or those on a budget.
- I write, you perform: is your friend or family member officiating your wedding, but they aren't sure where to start, or they'd like some editing help? I also work with couples and/or family members to create a ceremony to perform on their own.
- Just the legal stuff: don't want a ceremony, you just want to be legally married? I can do that, too.
- LGBTQ+-owned
- Woman-owned

You need Franny!
I had so much anxiety around the planning and I felt so much better once Franny got involved. She asked questions about what we wanted or were envisioning and helped us flesh out the details of the day. She always responded promptly to emails and we had about 3 zoom meetings leading up to the day. Her guidance and experience were invaluable!!
On the day of our wedding she showed up early to the venue while we were at another location doing photos. She only had about an hour and she and a few of our friends transformed the space into something better than I could have imagined.
She also put together a beautiful ceremony based on a questionnaire that we filled out about our relationship and also what she had learned about us through meetings. We collaborated and could provide feedback on exactly what she would say and she also helped us figure out our vows.
Do yourself a favor and hire Franny!
Amazing and professional!
