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 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 🤎

I don’t know where to begin! Larissa officiated my daughter’s wedding in Rancho Santa Fe, California, even though she is based in New York. She exceeded all our expectations. Many of our guests, who have attended many weddings, commented that it was the most touching and meaningful ceremony they had ever seen! Even many of the men teared up. She truly is the BEST!!! She spent a lot of time collaborating with my daughter and her fiancé to create their idyllic ceremony and then on top of that her delivery was the perfect mix of warmth, humor, and loving words all in her fabulous British accent. She presented herself so beautifully, even wearing a dress that matched our color scheme and then her stunning smile! Perfection! She is so professional and makes everything go smoothly. She is experienced with all the details such as knowing to be out of the picture the photographer takes of the couples first kiss! She is a consummate professional at her craft! I cant say enough great words about her and highly recommend her. She truly was a major highlight of the wedding day and all of our guests LOVED her! Thanks again for making it an incredible experience! Love, Lisa

My husband and I eloped at the end of October 2025 in Central Park. We had travelled from Spain, and we're only staying in the city for 3 nights.

The day before our wedding we received devastating news which sadly left us without an Officiant. Fortunately, Larissa kindly stepped in to allow us to go ahead with with ceremony. She was extremely responsive and attentive with gathering information she would need to Officiate our wedding, which really put us at ease.

In under 24 hours Larissa created a beautifully personalised ceremony which truly captured our relationship perfectly. She wrote a beautiful passage detailing mine and my husband's 10 year relationship, even mentioning ours sons and dogs by name, she found a relatable poem, and even printed our vows on nice stationary for us to keep.

Despite the awful circumstances that brought us together, I am truly grateful for Larissa and the special part she played in making our wedding perfect.

Thank you so much, Larissa! 🫶🏻
