The Most Meaningful Part of Our Wedding Day
It was really important to my husband and I that our ceremony felt like more than a formality, and that our relationship with our officiant was more than just transactional. From our first call with Tanya, we knew instantly that she was the right person to marry us. She was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in getting to know who we are. It was truly a bespoke and collaborative process to create the ceremony of our dreams with her.
Working with Tanya went far beyond the ceremony itself. We also chose to work with her as our vow coach, and it was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning. She poured so much time and attention into helping us craft vows that felt perfect for us, and true to our voices. Because of her guidance, we were able to stand up there and deliver vows that felt authentically us, flawlessly, even through all of the wedding day nerves. Not only this, but her presence is so calming, which is exactly what we needed day-of.
The ceremony Tanya created was nothing short of incredible. Even months after the wedding, our friends and family still tell us it was the best ceremony they’ve ever attended.
We are endlessly grateful for the care she showed us and the space she held for us throughout the entire process. If you’re lucky enough to work with her, trust me - your ceremony will be something you and your guests will never forget!
Great Experience with Tanya
Together we crafted a ceremony I’m thrilled with, guided by Tanya’s thorough questionnaire that made writing our vows simple and meaningful. Her process worked beautifully, and practicing with her leading up to the wedding was both fun and reassuring. On the day itself she kept everything on schedule and was wonderfully flexible with her time.
The ceremony unfolded seamlessly, and we received so many compliments on how heartfelt and memorable it was. I wholeheartedly recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a thoughtful, creative partner to help design the perfect wedding ceremony and vows.

George and Lurie Moffa wedding November 15,2024
We knew we didn’t want to do personal vows, yet we wanted a ceremony that was meaningful and represented us as a couple. During our introductory call with Tanya Pushkine, she immediately understood our goals and recognized our vision. Tanya not only shared invaluable feedback based on her experiences, she provided a varied collection of readings and ideas for the ceremony as well. She acted as a counselor and coach where needed. Working with Tanya was one of the most organized and efficient experiences I’ve had with a master of ceremonies. Her response time with any of our questions was immediate and detailed. She inspired us to find a reading that was truly unique and meaningful to us as a couple.
The day of the wedding Tanya was a consummate professional; we felt completely safe in her hands. Tanya thought about everything: where should the bride and groom stand? Will I be comfortable walking down the aisle in my massive dress? She even helped guide my father, who is hard of hearing, to his seat to watch the ceremony - things that were important to us though not necessarily what I'd expect to be part of her role. Tanya's presentation was professional, warm and inviting. I was so nervous about the actual ceremony, and Tanya helped make it one of my favorite parts of our wedding. I’m eternally grateful Tanya's presence, and her participation in our wedding day.
Tanya is an amazing person
Tanya's sweet and strong demeanor always was appreciated, and the day of was absolutely perfect.
She and her assistant Queenie were always on top of things, but never over the top. Even more so, Tanya went above and beyond in so many other ways that I wish I could give her 10 stars.
