Larissa was great!!

I chatted with a few officiants, and it was Larissa who seemed the coolest, down-to-earth officiant with solid experience. The process to ultimately have the speech was easy, and she wrote out a speech that met my exact needs. Day off she hung out in my bridal suite and was so lovely to my bridesmaids and mom. And everything culminated to a beautiful ceremony. Larissa is wonderful, added bonus that she has a British accent (I had a bunch of guests from London/Europe, Americans loved it too!)

Perfect Impromptu Wedding (April 1st 2024)

Our intimate wedding ceremony was perfect, thanks to Larissa. My husband and I never cared much for a big wedding and decided (very last minute) to tie the knot whilst vacationing in NY with our 4 year-old. In my online search for a marriage officiant, I was most drawn to Larissa, largely because of the reviews of past couples. She seemed to be the kind of officiant I wished to share my special day with. I contacted Larissa (it was literally 4 days prior to the proposed wedding date) and I was immediately assured by her warm spirit and positive attitude.

Let me tell you... Larissa was extremely accommodating and went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure that our wedding ceremony, though small and last-minute, was exactly what we wanted. She suggested a photographer, Florencia, who was absolutely amazing and made my husband and I feel comfortable as we captured special moments on our wedding day; Larissa suggested a Violinist, Carol Ma, who played beautifully as my son walked me down the stone pathway to Wagner's Cove to meet his father; and lastly, Larissa offered to do the floral decor for us, which included my bouquet and my husband's and son's boutonnieres. They were all beautiful and complemented the rustic aesthetic at Wagner's Cove.

Larissa was patient and kind. She took the lead so that we had nothing to worry about - all we had to do was literally show up on the morning of our wedding and everything was perfectly laid out for us. Our experience with Larissa was as seamless as it was perfect.

Larissa has one of those personalities that immediately puts you at ease irrespective of your background or personal/social preferences and inclinations. She is a consummate professional and great at what she does. She took the time to ensure that the people and things most important to us featured in our ceremony, which added a nice personal touch.

We cannot sing Larissa's praises enough.

Thanks Larissa! May God richly bless you!
