Absolutely amazing

If you are looking for an officiant to give you a ceremony to remember, for a love story that tells your guests all about your relationship from the very beginning including all your favorite memories, then you MUST book with NY Officiants!!!!!

Our consultation was great and super easy to book! Chris was very flexible with our time frame given my fiancé working nights and myself working early mornings. We even had a hiccup where we wound up not being available last minute given an emergency and he accommodated us no problem! When speaking with Chris over the phone he walked us through all the steps of the ceremony and made it feel so simple! This helped with our stress and anxiety, and his explanation really helped! He walked us through his website over the phone and explained everything they offered and how they work. We were able to read reviews right from their website (just like how I’m writing now) and man did it really draw me in to see all the positivity from past weddings and very recent weddings as well!

We were unable to have Chris be our officiant as he had a prior obligation, but he assured us that after he read our love story form he will pair us up with whom he thought would do our story justice… and boy did he hit the nail on the head! We got paired with Mark and he was amazing!!! We had the opportunity to video chat or set up a phone call with Mark prior, but I had so much faith that I didn’t feel like it was necessary. (Plus things were so stressful in other areas which needed my full attention). Chris and Mark at the NY Officiants knew what they were doing and their confidence gave me all the confidence in the world and outright trust and faith in them. I never needed to reach out to Chris either, he always contacted me when there was an update for something! He basically held our hands through the entire process!!

I cannot express how magical our ceremony was. My fiancé and I were crying at some parts, laughing at others, and just felt outright love during the rest. We chose the love story option with Chris during our consultation. He personally writes all of the love stories with the form you supply… and oh my gosh was it perfect!!! They way he told our story was as if he was there witnessing it himself. Our friends and families were in awe and found out new details about our relationship (even those who thought they already knew everything). There were parts in the story that I forgot I had mentioned and when I heard it I was stupidly shocked and thought “oh my gosh how did he know that” and then remembered… “oh wait I told him”. Chris had written it so well and Mark spoke it so well at the ceremony that it felt like I was being told my story through there eyes. The amount of family and friends brought to tears was shocking! Especially certain people I would never have thought would have cried did!

During the receiving line and reception everyone was complimenting our officiant and telling us how amazing the ceremony was. How it was romantic, but also funny at times and even some somber moments. My fiancés aunt and cousin were still talking about the ceremony the next day! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience… it truly was the ceremony of our dreams!!

Thank you so much Chris and Mark for an amazing and stress free experience as our officiants!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You cannot go wrong with this group!!!

Tammy and Enrique’s wedding April 18,2026

They are not enough words to express how Christopher was so amazing. from the moment we spoke on the phone and from the day leading up to our wedding day he was amazing ! Any questions we had he answered! When I would reach out to him, he got back to me right away on his time he showed us kindness
And He helped us with the ceremony explaining everything to my husband and I and my whole bridal party and showing us what to do he just went above and beyond!! And we would definitely recommend him

NY Officiants is the best!!

NY Officiants was absolutely incredible from start to finish! From our very first call, Christopher made everything feel easy and stress-free, and we instantly felt confident we were in great hands. He was professional, organized, and so reassuring throughout the entire process.

On the day of our wedding, he took extra time beforehand to walk us through everything, which really helped calm our nerves. During the ceremony, he guided us so smoothly and made the whole experience feel natural and special. He has the perfect balance of being warm, funny, and genuine, which made our ceremony even more meaningful.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and are so grateful for the role he played in our day. We highly recommend NY Officiants to anyone getting married!

Our officiant, Chris was absolutely amazing from start to finish 🤍

Throughout the entire process, he were so attentive, always responding quickly to any questions I had and providing constant reassurance every step of the way. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but he made everything feel easy and seamless.

The ceremony itself was beautiful, so well spoken, heartfelt, and truly special. Chris made us feel completely comfortable and present in the moment, which meant everything to us.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Highly recommend!

NY Officants Christopher

My wife and I were thrilled to be able to book Christopher as our officiant. Our initial call with Chris was so detailed and informative we were blown away. We decided after that call to go with NY Offciants. The ceremony was beautiful and Chris guided us every step of the way. He even made some last minute changes for us right before my wife walked down the aisle. He kept the mood of the ceremony lighthearted but also with alot of emotion. The whole experience with NY Offciants was amazing!

Smooth from start to finish, attention to detail, engaging!

We had a wonderful experience with NY Officiants! Officiant Christopher performed our ceremony, and he was fantastic! He took the time to go over the little details that we wouldn't have thought of (how to get the best photos, how to hold hands/the rings, which direction to pass my bouquet in, etc). We got a lot of compliments from the guests that not only was the ceremony beautiful, it was also engaging and funny at the appropriate times. It was the perfect mix and we couldn't have asked for a better ceremony! Everything from start to finish with NY Officiants was smooth and easy. Thank you so much!

Perfect words and New York energy

We really loved having Chris as our officiant. From the very beginning, he was extremly responsive and flexible which I appreciated given our short timegrame to plan our elopement. In fact, even though we had several other options and he already had a couple events the same day, we adjusted our schedule a bit to make sure that he was our guy. His words were perfect along with his New York energy. I even got alot of comments after about how awesome the guy is. Thank you for making our day extra special.

Meant To Be!

What an amazing/unforgettable moment! Chris not only made our dream happen in very such notice, but he added a sense of comfort and genuine connection; that I couldn’t have imagined, would’ve been possible; from our brief interaction. You would have thought we knew him for years. From the prompt arrival(with pretty much no advance notice)to the pleasant engagement, to the personable ceremony, all the way to our several final goodbyes(10 to be exact)it was an unforgettable, spectacular, spontaneous experience. Even the guests were comfortable, and enjoyed every minute. Not once did Chris rush our special day, and despite me crying the entire time, he continued with professionalism, honesty, and love from the heart. One of the best moments of our life happened because the creator made Chris feel the love that we have, and accommodated us last minute; making everything special, and that is the epitome of meant to be!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
