    Amazing and very helpful!

    Steven was great! He took time to get to know us and incorporate our love story into our ceremony. Steven made the event fun with his own brand of humor, and we could not be happier. We planned everything ourselves and needed some guidance for the ceremony, which Steven was more than helpful with. I could not recommend him enough.

    Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:

    Good evening Joseph & Katie: My sincere thanks for your kind words! It was my pleasure to have been asked to be a part of your special day (and to a fellow Long Islander nonetheless!!!). I trust that the reception that followed was a smashing success ... Best wishes and may all good things come your way! Steven

    Amazing officiant!

    We found Steven on WeddingWire while searching for an officiant and decided to reach out. We had our first Zoom call with him and he was extremely personable - it was like talking to someone we knew for years! After booking him, we had our next call before the wedding. He obviously knows what he's doing - he had lots of great suggestions. Steven came to our rehearsal dinner and everyone loved him when they met him - he fit right in! Everything went just as smoothly on our wedding night as well. We highly recommend Steven!

    Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:

    Good morning Kathryn & David: Many thanks for taking the time to share your experience working with me on your recent ceremony! So nice to hear you and your guests were pleased with the process and the outcome ... I sincerely appreciate your kind words. My best wishes to you both for a happy Holiday season and a bountiful New Year - your first as Husband & Wife! Kind regards, Steven

    Amazing officiant!

    We reached out to Steven through WeddingWire after reading all of the great reviews and had our first zoom call with him shortly after, both my Husband and I knew right away we wanted him to officiate our wedding. We had another call closer to the wedding to go through the details of the ceremony and Steven offered a lot of great suggestions and ideas of things we could incorporate into the ceremony. He's very personable and incorporated our love story plus a little bit of humor into the ceremony. We highly recommend Steven!

    Steven M. Dembow, J.P.'s reply:

    Good morning Michelle (and Ryan): Many thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts on your recent ceremony! It was my pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with you both, and I am happy that you were pleased with the way everything went ... Best wishes - always! Kind regards, Steven
