Fabulous!!

Alex was the perfect officiant for our special day. He is warm and friendly and although our initial meeting with him was via Skype, as we live in the UK, we felt like we had known him forever.
He took the time to get to know us personally, adding some beautiful touches and kind words into our ceremony. My new husband and I love to laugh and Alex was amazing at adding a touch of humour to our perfect ceremony bringing a smile to the faces of our guests. We can’t recommend him enough, if you’re looking for a wedding officiant Alex is definitely your guy, he’s just wonderful! If we could do it all again tomorrow we wouldn’t change a thing!

An Unforgettable Day in The City

Alex at Officiant NYC was absolutely INCREDIBLE! We genuinely could not have imagined a more perfect person to officiate our wedding in New York City. From beginning to end, he made what was already the most important day of our lives into something even more magical than we could have dreamed.

Alex has such an amazing personality and an infectious, positive energy that immediately puts you at ease. He is kind, thoughtful, passionate, genuine, and so incredibly personable. There wasn't a single moment where we felt stressed, rushed, pressured, or worried about what came next. He had EVERYTHING taken care of. We were able to simply be present, soak in every second, and enjoy the moment together.

The ceremony itself was absolutely beautiful. Alex brought so much warmth, sincerity, and heart to every word. You could genuinely feel how much he loves what he does, and that passion shines through in the way he treats the couples he marries. It was intimate, meaningful, emotional, and everything we wanted our wedding to be.

Officiant NYC's prices are the most reasonable i found. Communication was fantastic, emails, phone appointments, and a personalized questionnaire. They file your marriage license with the court and send you the tracking info in an email!! No extra travel fee for going into Manhattan, either!

It's been two weeks since our wedding, and we're STILL riding the high of that day! We find ourselves looking back and smiling, wishing we could experience every second all over again. Officiant NYC played the biggest part of that, and we'll forever be grateful.

Amanda was amazing

Amanda performed a beautiful ceremony, exactly according to our wishes. This wasn’t the easiest task, since those wishes evolved and changed along the way. Amanda accommodated every request, from providing a wide range of readings for us to consider, to consulting with us responsively regarding how to tactfully frame the oration in consideration of our respective children’s feelings (this being a second marriage for both of us), to graciously crafting with us a minimalist ceremony with no readings whatsoever. Yet during our ceremony Amanda exuded a quiet and penetrating warmth that helped support and amplify the meaningful words spoken by ourselves and our families to each other.

Amanda also took care of all legal requirements discreetly and efficiently. She advised us on everything we needed (which was complicated by needing prior divorce decrees across State lines) and made herself available at a moment’s notice for all of our questions, requests, and changes along the way.

Of course, while we do not plan to get married again ourselves, we loudly and unreservedly recommend Amanda to anyone who wishes to themselves get married (for the first or whatever-eth time) in a way that reflects who you each are as individuals, and as the next happy couple.

Book Alex!

So glad we trusted instincts and booked Alex for our ceremony. Leading up, Alex insured we understood what was required for the license, etc as we planned our wedding remotely. recapping the weekend with our guests, Alex’s ceremony was mentioned throughout! His calming presence really helped as we made game day decisions through the weather this past weekend. 100% would recommend trusting your instinct and booking!

The BEST officiant!

Juan Toro brought such a wonderful energy full of warmth, joy, and excitement to our ceremony that we can't imagine anyone better for the role! He is more than an officiant, he is THE narrator for love! He has a magical yet authentic way with words and presented both the concept of love/union and our personal story beautifully. We could tell from our first call with Juan that he is dedicated to his craft and absolutely loves what he does. If you or anyone else ever needs an officiant, Juan Toro is the one!

Alex Officiant NYC Review

Alex was one of the most down to Earth and loving persons we've ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. Throughout the whole process he made us feel like he had such an expert understanding of the vision we had for our ceremony, and even helped add to it an ways we would not have otherwise thought of. We can not recommend him enough as an officiant for your wedding. Regardless of the serioussness, or lack there of, surrouding your ceremony, he will absolutely deliver in his performance!

Alex was amazing

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! From the very beginning, Alex made us feel completely comfortable and was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process of planning our ceremony and making sure our event reflected everything we wanted.

Our venue unfortunately didn’t allow us to have a formal rehearsal, but Alex coordinated everything so seamlessly that you would have never known we didn’t have one. He made sure everyone knew where they needed to be, what to expect, and helped everything flow smoothly on the day of our wedding. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to all of our requests truly made a difference.

Alex went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony was exactly what we envisioned, and we’re so grateful to have had him be such an important part of our special day.

If we could choose our officiant a hundred times over, we would choose Alex every single time. We can’t recommend him enough! Thank you, Alex, for helping make our wedding day so memorable!

June 7 wedding - amanda was the best!

Amanda was absolutely wonderful to work with. From our very first meeting, she made us feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely excited for our ceremony. She took the time to get to know us, provided thoughtful feedback on our vows, and guided us through the entire process with kindness and care.

On our wedding day, she delivered a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that felt personal, warm, and authentic. Her calm presence helped us feel at ease, and so many of our guests commented on how meaningful the ceremony was.

One thing that was especially important to us was finding someone who could connect with both sides of our family. Amanda is a native English speaker and also speaks Spanish, which made her a fantastic choice for our bilingual wedding. She was able to communicate effortlessly with everyone and made all of our guests feel included.

We’re so grateful we chose Amanda to be part of our wedding and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant who is professional, compassionate, and truly invested in making your ceremony special.

The best bilingual officiant

Very profesional and kind person! Alex walked us through the process and made the whole experience easy.

Our favorite part was having the opportunity to have some words in Spanish and English, for both parts of our families. It made it very special!

Thank you so much Alex!

Amazing Company and Officiant!

We had an amazing experience working with Officiant NYC for our Elopement Ceremony in Prospect Park.

We were so grateful to go through this process with her and have her expertise to make the ceremony perfect. Highly recommend Officiant NYC and Maria!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
