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 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

We had the absolute pleasure of having Larissa from Weddings by Larissa officiate our vow renewal for our 25th wedding anniversary, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience.

From the moment we met her, Larissa made us feel comfortable, celebrated, and truly special. She is incredibly friendly and warm, and her energy is simply beautiful. She brought so much joy, sincerity, and love to our ceremony, making it feel deeply personal and meaningful.

After 25 years of marriage, renewing our vows was a moment we will treasure forever, and Larissa played such a huge part in making it unforgettable. Her genuine kindness, professionalism, and heartfelt presence created an atmosphere filled with love and happiness.

Thank you, Larissa, for helping us celebrate this incredible milestone in such a memorable way. We highly recommend Weddings by Larissa to anyone looking for an officiant who will make your special day even more magical. You are truly one of a kind!

As a British couple coming to New York we were apprehensive about ensuring everything was done correctly so that the marriage was legal when we returned home. Obviously we wanted that magical experience that any bride and groom wants on their special day and for us visiting Central Park, as we’ve done every time we’ve been to New York, was the perfect venue. From the time we booked the wedding Larissa made it clear we could contact her any time and true to her word she got back to us as quickly as possible with answers. Larissa helped us feel comfortable that the words of the service fitted “our wedding” sorted our witness as we only had our little girl with us and sorted the marriage license out after the wedding.
Our special day in magical surroundings was made by the empathy of Larissa. She was a lovely person to share our special moment with.

Larissa was just amazing.

First and foremost, she was extremely flexible. We only exchanged a couple of messages, and she had no real proof that we would actually show up. She adjusted to our last minute plans and was extremely reliable. We wanted a spontaneous, fun little wedding in NYC, and Larissa was able to find the perfect sweet spot we didn’t even know we were looking for.

She was adorable, fun, and flexible, and even climbed up rocks with us to hold the ceremony exactly where we wanted it. She took her job seriously, and we had smiles on our faces throughout the entire ceremony.

It was so special meeting her, and she made our small ceremony unforgettable. Thank you, Larissa ❤️

100% recommended if you want to marry !!!

When we decided we wanted to elope, we weren’t quite sure where to start. But once we had our initial call with Larissa, we were confident that we were making the right choice. Larissa was very communicative leading up to the actual ceremony. The morning of our ceremony was rainy and cold, but the ceremony was truly captivating and allowed us to be completely present in the moment. We were in awe of the beautiful personalized ceremony she created. It was better than we could have imagined (: Thank you so much Larissa for being a part of our special day. We will cherish it forever!!

I’m honestly not sure where to begin. Larissa was the most kind, caring, thoughtful and warm person we could have ever wished to meet. Larissa was recommended to us by a family member and we are so glad we chose her to officiate our wedding. Right from my first email to the day we got married Larissa was nothing short of incredible. Larissa is so very knowledgable, answering any questions I had, you can just tell she is so passionate about her couples and wants the very best for them.
On our wedding day Larissa gave us clear directions on where to meet her and met us on time. The conversation flowed and she really put us at ease right from the get go. Larissa gave us a few options on where to get married and we chose bow bridge in Central Park, during the ceremony she even had my daughter do a reading for us which was a beautiful, heartwarming touch. After the ceremony Larissa spent so much time with us walking around Central Park, showing us some great photo spots and ensuring we went home with beautiful memories we’ll cherish forever.
If I could do it all over again I would it was that amazing! Thank you so much Larissa we could not have asked for anything more.

I have worked with Larissa in weddings for nine years. She is a pleasure to work with. She is a warm and calming officiant during wedding ceremonies. Her communication is excellent, she is attentive to detail, and she always makes an effort to be flexible in case of change of plans. She has a steady confidence in wedding ceremonies that comes from her many years of experience, and she can be adaptable to whatever style or tone a couple wants from their wedding ceremony.

Larrisa was amazing! From the moment we met Larrisa she put us at ease, her calm and welcoming manner helped the day flow with ease. Before the day she communicated with us finding out about our vows, what we wanted for the exchange of rings, she printed these off on nice card for us to keep. She took time to get to know us and used this throughout the ceremony. Larrisa's support on the day was great she was personal but not to invasive. Following the ceremony, Larrisa sent us a beautiful card and sent us some photographs.

Thank you Larrisa, we would highly recommend you! You were truly brilliant 🤎
