About

On WeddingWire since 2013

WeddingsbyAnnette is a wedding officiating/Minister based in Berlin, New Jersey. Let me be one of the first to say, congratulations on your engagement! Deciding to get married or renewing your vows is a wonderful and exciting life-changing event. I hope you are enjoying every step of the wedding or vow-renewal planning process. As a professional, reliable, award-winning wedding/marriage officiant, I am always honored when chosen to unite couples in holy matrimony. With my experience, guidance and suggestions, we work together as a team, to create a ceremony from beginning to end, that is personal and meaningful to you, and memorable to your family and friends.

Remember it’s your day and your memories!


Services I Provide
Expert Planning
No matter the event you need an officiant for, I am happy to help! Give me a call to schedule an appointment or book directly on Facebook and see what I can do for you. I have years of experience officiating different types of events. Take a look at some of the services I offer below. If there is a specialty service, please let me know.

Now offering, Pre-Marital Classes and Post-Marital Classes to all engaged or looking to become engaged couples, regardless of religious background in 4-Class Sessions. Rates are affordable and competitive.

I am also available for wedding rehearsals. I recommend setting aside about 30 to 45 minutes the day before (or two days before) the wedding to go over the ceremony proceedings with everyone. I will conduct the rehearsal, going over each aspect of the ceremony, from the processional to the recessional. Without some clear direction, this part of the ceremony alone can be chaotic. All of these details are very important to ensure a flawless ceremony on the wedding day. Be sure to discuss all your rehearsal needs including coordinating and officiating during your consultation.
Annette has been marrying couples since 2012. There is nothing more exhilarating than working with a couple that is soooo in love and planning their ideal day. I have a passion for creating your original custom ceremony that includes your friends and family to share in your LOVE Story.

I look forward to sharing many creative ideas with you both. You and your fiance are my main focus. My mission is to make your ceremony which is the most important part of the day exactly the way you want it. As a seasoned officiant, I will be delighted and honored to help you plan the wedding ceremony of your dreams.

Flexible and friendly officiant

Annette was friendly, flexible and courteous in providing us with instructions on obtaining a license along with a meeting in person, and at the rehearsal as well. She provided us with vows templates and flexibility to customize it. The price for service was fair. I highly recommend Annette to anyone's wedding.

Exceeded our Expectations

As everyone knows, there's alot of stress & anxiety in planning a wedding & w/o knowing Annette prior to booking her, she put our minds @ ease throughout the entire process. She's very personable & friendly and just has a special way about her that it comes naturally. When talking on the phone for the 1st time & then meeting in person the following week, we felt as if we were longtime friends catching up. She was very thorough & informative in explaining the entire process of our ceremony & was very interested in getting to know us more so she could personalize our day in making it that much more special. We met again the week prior to our wedding day for review and she was very prepared & organized. On our wedding day, she was the 1st person to greet me, nervous & excited bride, with this big smile putting me @ ease. She played a special part in making our day the best day ever & we are so thankful and grateful to have chosen Annette to make our day that much more beautiful. Thank you so much Annette. ❤

When it comes to officiating a wedding, Annette redefines the word "Customization". May I be blunt? Let's be 100% honest, and completely candid. Most guests, at weddings, mostly look forward to your 'Reception', Right? Few (maybe with the exception of close friends and immediate family) will look forward to a "Ceremony". Many...won't even come! Rather; they'll show-up, only at the reception, for the free food and open bar! Sorry; but that's the reality. BUT...IF YOU may want to take a proactive role, in your own wedding, and brainstorm, with Annette, with the objective of simply making your CEREMONY DIFFERENT (than most...) SHE'S YOUR GAL! So go ahead...step outside the box! Ask her for her input on things such as your own custom vows, unique ceremony music, fully customized sermon verbiage, maybe even an innovative bridal party entrance and/or exit... Bottom Line: MAKE YOUR CEREMONY AS FUN AS (AND EVEN MORE MEMORABLE THAN) YOUR "RECEPTION" ITSELF! WITH ANNETTE'S HELP, YOU CAN DO EXACTLY THAT! /John - Creator of 'Happy Tears' - www.HappyTears.Wedding
