Weddings by Larissa

Larissa is unbelievable. She was extremely warm, kind, caring and thoughtful in everything she did for us. Whether it was time spent crafting our perfect ceremony, or simply her delivery within the setting, she truly lit up the room and left a lasting impression. We have heard countless wedding guests rave about her so much so that they wanted her contact for their own ceremonies. Loved her!! Highly recommend her!!!

We wanted an officiant that we could deal with directly since we were not enjoying the manufactured responses from most that we contacted and we didnt' want to boe sold other services like photography unless we asked for it. Larissa fitted the bill perfectly....
From start to finish her communication was to the point, efficient, helpful, professional yet empathic and considerate of our objectives/wishes.
We got the time, date and place we wanted, she arranged our witness, she even took care of the three court appointments afterwards to Apostile our marriage documents and deliver us a completed marriage. On the day she was relaxed and easy going and flexible. She even helped us find the right locatiomns for some extra photos afterwards. We dont like weddings and my bride was not dressed in a traditional wedding dress but she accepted that and still endeavoured to find locations and take relaxed photos that suited our tastes.
After asking uss ome simple questions, Larissa was able to develop and deliver a really meaningful reading to guide us through our little personal ceremony and vows and ring exchanges to match. It was exactly the right balance of personal, sentimental, meaningful yet to the point, quick and completely devoid of any boring or cheesy elements. She was brilliant. We couldn't recommend her strongly enough. Overall, the most important elements for us were her kindness, patience, clarity, helpfulness, compassion and efficiency. She was also humorous and light-hearted and made the whole thing an absolute pleasure. For people like us who don't like weddings in general, but want to do it in their own way, Larissa was by far the best decision we made. We also feel like we made a new friend in Larissa. Just brilliant. We live in Spain but got married in Central PArk and then had a few days in New England for a honeymoon, passing back through NYC Larissa was waiting for us with our paperwork, having done all the legalisation work on our behalf so we could fly home after only 6 days in the US with everything done. Wonderful! Thankyou Larissa!

We had such a wonderful experience with Larissa! She met with us before the wedding and checked in with us a few times to make sure we felt comfortable and had everything we needed. She really made an effort to get to know us and learn our story, which made our ceremony feel so personal and special. We feel so lucky to have had her as our officiant and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thank you for everything, Larissa!

Larissa was fantastic before the ceremony in terms of the contact she had with us.
On arrival she was friendly and put us at ease. She helped with all arrangements and the ceremony was more than we expected.
We cannot speak highly of her service and we would recommend her to anyone for their choice of celebration.
Thank you

Larissa was amazing, from the moment we met, she made us feel relaxed and comfortable, once she had talked us both through the process the ceremony began. The words and poem she created for us was really special and the whole event will stay with us as an amazing experience, our daughter was not with us 30 years ago, so for her to walk her mum down the aisle was priceless. Thank you Larissa for making our day and vow renewal so special.

Larissa was kind, professional and thoughtful. We contacted her with less than a week before the ceremony. She was available last minute and delivered a well written and considerate ceremony script with very little prep time. She made the whole experience feel easy, fun and very personal. It was a much more tailored experience compared to feeling like one of the masses with a clerk at a court house. We can't thank her enough for adding such a special touch to an already special day. Hire her for your ceremony and you wont be disappointed!!

Larissa was so helpful both before, during and after our wedding and gave such thought and personalisation into what she said during our wedding formalities. We’re over the moon with how special the day was & she was such a big part of that!

Larissa was the best officiant we could have chosen. We went off of gut feeling after speaking to some others and were glad we did. She was very professional, kind, human, and easy to work with and has a nice speaking voice which also was a great vibe for a ceremony. She took photos of us afterwards and made the day very easy. I am glad that we went with her!

We planned our wedding in NYC from Scotland, Larissa helped us navigate all the legalities, and nothing was too much trouble for her.
Our ceremony was perfect, Larissa listened to all our wishes and made the day the most special day, personalized just for us, including the vows we had chosen along with a beautiful poem hand selected by Larissa, which felt like it had been written just for us.
The ceremony was very intimate and Larissa made us all feel completely at ease, we felt as if we were in a bubble.
We would highly recommend Larissa, she is professional, thoughtful, attentive, eloquent and immaculately presented .
We felt as though we had known Larissa for years, even though we just met on the day of our ceremony, this was due to Larissa taking the time to get to know us personally.

From start to finish Larissa went an over and beyond providing the best experience for our elopement. From the very early stages, Larissa was on hand to answer any questions, talk through options and even FaceTimed us so that we could put a face to the name before the big day.
When out wedding day arrived, Larissa was amazing at keeping our parents calm, our children entertained and us feeling special and supported. She even read out a beautiful poem that will now become a huge part of our special memories. Thank you for everything Larissa. Love Laura and Paul xx
