You need Harris as your Officiant!!!

Harris is amazing. His skill for making everyone laugh, smile, reflect, happy tear, feel, and live in the moment is one of a kind. He adds laughs at all the right moments and connects with the couple and guests as if he is a friend you have known for ages. Not only was the ceremony perfect, he gave us instructions about how the ceremony would be organized. This was extremely helpful as we learned to navigate wedding planning!! He showed up to the ceremony early and guided us on marriage license questions day of - clearly well-informed of the process from all his past experience doing this already.

Guests kept approaching us throughout the evening asking us where Harris was. They all wanted to go up to him and tell him how spectacular of a job he did.

Harris - THANK YOU! Newly engaged - don't think twice. Harris is AWESOME!!!!

Best Officiant

Our original officiant was sick and let us know just 48 hours before our wedding that he could no longer perform the ceremony. In a panic, I reached out to Harris, and within minutes he responded and confirmed he could step in.

From the moment we spoke, the difference was night and day. Harris brought a calm, lighthearted energy that immediately put us at ease. His humor, professionalism, and ability to tell our story made the ceremony feel incredibly personal and genuine.

He also provided great advice throughout the process and was thoughtful about every detail, even making sure to step aside at the right moments so our photographer could capture the best shots & that my Bride & I were centered at the alter.

I’ve lost count of how many guests told us it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they’ve ever attended. Harris’s personality, well-timed humor, and ability to connect with everyone made a lasting impression.

I would recommend Harris without hesitation to anyone looking for a wedding officiant on the East Coast.

Highly recommend

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect officiant for our wedding ceremony! Harris absolutely nailed everything we hoped for. He was professional, extremely responsive, and truly captured our vision from the very first conversation. The ceremony he crafted for us was personal, heartfelt, funny, and exactly the tone we wanted. Our guests were laughing and smiling throughout, and we’ve had so many people tell us it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve ever seen. Harris balanced humor and meaning beautifully, and working with him was so easy and enjoyable every step of the way. We are so grateful he was part of our day and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible officiant.

Hire Harris!

Harris made our wedding ceremony the best part of our entire day. From the thoughtful questionnaire he provides—designed not only to help him get to know you as a couple but also to make you reflect on your love for one another—to the lighthearted, heartfelt ceremony he crafts, Harris creates something truly special. Our guests are still raving about how touching it was.

He was incredibly kind, funny, and easy to work with, answering every question and email with lightning-fast responses. He also showed up an hour before the ceremony to handle our marriage license and provide very detailed and helpful instructions on how to make our ceremony even better. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Highly recommend!

Choose Harris - He is AMAZING!

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. From the very first meeting, Harris was caring, professional, and genuinely funny, the perfect combination to make everyone feel comfortable and engaged.

He took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a ceremony that felt truly personal, heartfelt, and memorable.

His sense of humor brought warmth and lightness to the moment, while their professionalism ensured everything ran smoothly.

We’re so grateful to have had Harris be such an important part of our day and highly recommend him for newlyweds who want a smooth and unforgettable ceremony!

Professional officiant

That guy knows what he doing. He showed up 1 hr earlier before my wedding ceremony filled the license and told us what we should do on the ceremony. My ceremony was fun. People laughed:) The parental shout out in Russian was also funny:))

Amazing Officiant!

Harris was amazing to work with from start to finish. From the beginning, he was incredibly responsive - always responding to our emails within a matter of minutes. He was easy to work with, gave recommendations for readings, and was flexible when we had to make some last minute changes (it rained during our ceremony so we asked him to exclude one of the readings). So many of our guests complimented him and we're so glad we got to work with him!

The Best Officiant

Around the time I was engaged, my mom suggested I look into using Harris as my officiant which was the perfect choice. My husband and I absolutely loved working with Harris. Harris is professional and personable to work with. He knew the right questions to ask, and the ceremony felt personal to our story. Our ceremony was everything we could hope for, and our guests raved about the ceremony throughout the night. We would highly recommend Harris to anyone!
