Best officiant ever!

Sam the officiant is amazing! We had a last minute elopement for my daughter with one weeks notice and I was referred to Sam, and boy were we the lucky ones! She is kind hearted and super aware of everything special you want out of a ceremony! She helped to make this ceremony the most magical one I’ve ever witnessed! I didn’t want a courthouse wedding for my daughter. I wanted to try to make it a special moment to remember and Sam made that happen! She was like family by the end of it all! She was so accommodating with barely any notice and made the best of the ice cold weather in Central Park! She helped to surprise my daughter’s husband and family by adding her vows in Spanish for them! She went above and beyond! I would recommend her to anyone that wants this special day to be magical and full of love! Thank you Sam for helping to bring calm and love to this moment in time we will never forget!

Sam Tied the Knot for Us and she should be your officiant as well!

Sam served as our officiant and we couldn't recommend her more highly! She took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, crafted a beautiful narrative for the ceremony that everyone loved and made our love story come to life! She was also very quick on communications and helped us plan the ceremony using her experience and had great specific suggestions that led to amazing photos and just a great time all around!

Sam Tied the Knot like a boss!

Sam Tied the Knot like a boss! She was great to work with leading up to the day of, and on the day of she killed it! Everyone asked us if she was a friend we had known for years! What she said during the ceremony was spectacular and really drew the audience in. She was great at directing us and our friends and family as well. If you want someone who can officiate in such a way that people think ya'll have been tight for a long time, Sam is the way to go, no question.

Fantastic wedding experience in the big Apple

I surprised Hayley with an engagement and wedding in New York. Samantha was so great, helpful and kind to us. She really got on board with the surprise element and our story. We were in regular touch and able to discuss our ideas, and she helped with every aspect we needed. Felt like I’d known Samantha for a long time.

The Most Professional and Personable Officiant You Could Have

Samantha is amazing and did a fantastic job ! My wedding was a few weeks ago and was actually rescheduled last minute from Saturday to Sunday and she went up and beyond to come out on a last minute change. She is kind, patient, well organized and very personable. She was on time for our rehearsal dinner and wedding and I would recommend to everyone. We loved her so much we asked her to stay for the rest of the wedding, and she danced and put alot of smiles on everyone's faces! My parents absolutely love her and I would give 6/5 if I could.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
