After speaking to several officiants and not feeling a connection, I found Jackie via a NYC Elopement Facebook page. After watching her social media where she was funny, warm and so accepting of everyone that I just knew she was the one I wanted to officiate our wedding!
Jackie has been kind and welcoming since the first email, she gave us amazing tips for our wedding day including restaurants and bars to enjoy for the rest of our day and trip!

My husband was sooo nervous and met Jackie at our wedding spot prior to my arrival and she had him relaxed and chatting, to the point that he felt like he was with someone he had known for years!
I arrived around 30 minutes later and felt the exact same was as soon as I met her. I could feel the joy and kindness radiating from her immediately.

Our ceremony was beautiful, personal and everything we had dreamed of. Almost as soon as we finished our vows, the thunder started and rain poured from the sky but Jackie joined us under the shelter and we just embraced the experience, chatting and laughing the whole time.

If you are considering booking Jackie as your celebrant then do it, you won’t regret it for a second! She is utterly wonderful!

P.S Jackie and her husband Sascha are couple goals and another reason why I knew she was the one for us, she knows true love!

From our very first video call, we knew we wanted Jackie to officiate our wedding. She’s warm, inviting, and truly the kind of person who would walk to the ends of the earth to make your day special. On the wedding day, her excitement matches your own, making it feel like someone you’ve known your whole life is marrying you to your best friend.

In the lead‑up, she guides you through everything — the ceremony, the vows, the flow of the day. We didn’t want to write our own vows (we’re awkward enough already), and Jackie didn’t just understand… she turned it into her superpower. She asked us thoughtful questions about each other and crafted the most beautiful, personal speech — something we never could’ve written ourselves.

What surprised us most was how safe and understood she made us feel. She took our nerves, our quirks, and our “we have no idea what we’re doing” energy and turned it into something calm and joyful.

The day before the wedding, we met Jackie to get our marriage licence, and somehow she turned what should’ve been a boring office appointment into a day we’ll never forget. Meeting her in person for the first time felt like reconnecting with an old friend — she showed up with her signature energy, capturing little videos and photos, explaining how the wedding morning would unfold, and making everything feel exciting instead of stressful.

We were meant to marry at 9:30am at the Top of the Rock, but the weather had other plans, and we pushed it to 12:30 to avoid the downpour. In the end, it was the best twist of fate — the rooftop was completely empty, and it felt like the whole city paused just for us. Moments like that are exactly why Jackie and Sascha are truly the best at what they do.

Jackie also brings this incredible burst of energy to the day by capturing Real‑Time Wedding Moments — little videos and photos on her iPhone that somehow feel like tiny treasures. Even knowing we’d get stunning photos from the amazing Sascha, having something instant to look back on while everything was still buzzing around us made the whole day feel even more electric. Sharing those moments with friends and family right away added this extra layer of joy that we didn’t even know we needed.

Jackie is endlessly enthusiastic, and you can feel how much she truly loves love. We highly recommend Team Reinking — meeting these two was one of the best things that happened to us.

We met Jackie & Sascha online first when considering our elopement to NYC - After a Face-time, we knew we'd made the right decision.

From start to finish they were professional, helpful & friendly - They gave advice and guidance without being pushy and walked us through the services that best suited us.

When I had questions, they replied promptly with clear answers.

We chose a package that included support with paperwork as, not being from the US, we wanted a bit of guidance and Jackie made it seamless for us . She met us just before our city clerk appointment and stayed with us through the whole thing which let us just enjoy the process rather than stressing out.

When the big day came, they met us at the entrance to Central Park and walked us over to our spot by Bow Bridge. The ceremony was perfect for us. We had answered Jackie's questionnaire and she nailed it with little details that had us in tears of laughter before we got to the 'I do'.

After the ceremony, we had time with Sascha around Central Park and at Grand Central where he captured things perfectly - His passion for photography came through and we never felt awkward or daft. Once we saw the results, we were blown away - We always think we take bad pictures, turns out you just need a great photographer.

I could write much more about this amazing pair, but I think the best way to summarise is:

If you are considering a wedding in New York, and need an officiant, photographer or both, you need Team Reinking!

Jackie makes you feel like you have been her best friend for years. She makes you feel completely at ease, supported and genuinely celebrated. You can feel the warmth and caring from the very first moment.

We truly couldn't have asked for a better elopement experience. From the very first message Team Reining was amazing! We chose the "all inclusive" package. They made everything feel effortless, personal and definitely fun! Which is exactly what we wanted.

They handled every detail with care and professionalism, while still making the day feel relaxed and intimate. Sasha captured the magic of the day in a way that felt true to us. Jackie's words were magical as if she had known us for years.
If you are thinking about eloping to NYC and want a team that is talented and truly invested in your experience, look no further. We would choose them again and again.

From start to finish, working with Sascha and Jackie was an absolute dream. We were married in New York and told them we wanted to be married by the Brooklyn Bridge — and they truly took care of every single detail from there.

They arranged a car to pick us up at our hotel, handled the ceremony seamlessly, and captured the most incredible photos we could have ever hoped for. The pictures are beyond amazing. And the flowers? Absolute perfection — exactly what I had envisioned, down to the smallest detail.

To top it all off, we had to change our wedding date five days before the wedding and move it up by four days. Somehow, they rearranged everything without a single hiccup. No stress, no drama — just calm professionalism and total reassurance.

The ceremony was perfect, the photos are stunning, and the entire day was flawless — all thanks to Sascha and Jackie, the ultimate dynamic duo. If you’re considering them, don’t hesitate. They made our wedding day effortless, beautiful, and truly unforgettable. 💛

Jackie helped us with all out official paper work meeting us at the courts and taking us through the full process, making it so much easier and removing all of the stress. Her sermon was beautiful she really captured my Husband and I. The whole process was stress free, personal and we felt at ease. she made our day extremely special, and also sent me a copy of out vows so I have them always to cherish. Thank you so much for all of your help Jackie.

Communication with her was open and warm. We felt very comfortable with her. Even at our first meeting, it felt as if we had known each other for years. With all the formalities, her special manner took a lot of the stress off us. The wedding ceremony was magical, full of emotion, and personally tailored to us.
Thank you so much!

Wow, we are so thrilled with Jackie! We found jackie through her husband Sascha, who is a photographer, and booked her all-inclusive package. The booking, the preparations—everything was so easy and straightforward! Jackie is an incredibly warm person, always with a touch of humor! The day before the ceremony, we had our appointment at the city clerk's office with Jackie. We immediately felt connected, like we were talking to someone we'd known for a long time. Simply wonderful! The ceremony itself completely met our expectations, and wow, the flowers!! We are incredibly grateful that we chose Jackie and Sascha for our special day in NYC! We wholeheartedly recommend Jackie for your ceremony! Thank you, dear Jackie, you made our day wonderful! Love, Cindy & Adrian
