Great Experience

Stephen was very professional and friendly. He guided us with his outline and we was able to follow the structure but make it our own. I will definitely recommend him anytime. He made a rough start a beautiful ending.

Perfect ceremony

We just got married this past Friday and would not have changed a THING about our ceremony! Stephen was extremely responsive from start to finish while he wrote up our ceremony. It was absolutely flawless. He paid close attention to our story and US. He had laughs, tears and filled our ceremony with love. We cannot thank him enough. We got a TON of compliments on our ceremony from friends and family who were there saying how wonderful it was. Thank you Stephen, we will forever cherish the memory of our ceremony because of you!

Wonderful to work with, would recommend to everyone!

Stephen was absolutely the perfect officiant for us! He made an effort to get to know us as a couple before he came and was extremely professional every step of the way. We were so glad to have him there for our special moment.

We initially spoke over the phone about our private tea ceremony, he listened and respected our values, given that it was a unique ceremony. My whole family was so happy to have him there. He was on time, delivered the speech well, and made our experience so positive. If you want an officiant who really cares and makes an effort to make your special ceremony your own, pick Stephen!

Highly recommend

So much to say about Stephen, he was wonderfully responsive to our emails and provided lots of helpful information for creating what became a beautifully touching wedding day. It was also lovely how he included simple words in Polish & Spanish for our families to feel included during the ceremony. We were truly lucky to find someone who worked hard to provide a thoughtful and caring ceremony.
I would highly recommend Stephen as an officiant. Thank you again for helping to make our wedding day amazing!

Highly recommend

Stephen was a huge help during the planning process of our ceremony in NY, he responded quickly to all of my questions and gave recommendations where needed with making changes to the readings. He was great in including both my little boys into our story and brought a light and fun touch to our small audience of family and friends. All of our guests loved him.
He helped me post ceremony in making sure we had the right documents to take back to the UK and managed to turn it all around in a very short space of time.
I would highly recommend his services as an officiant!

Absolutely satisfied. Couldn't have picked a better officiant!

We came all the way from Germany to get married in New York city. I contacted a few other vendors before I finally found Stephen. He was the only one who replied quickly and with more than one sentence. He took time to explain things and was always very helpful and flexible. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to have Stephen do our ceremony.
We would fully recommend him, he loves what he is doing and is a great man!
Thank you Stephen for making our special day so unforgettable.
