We are Professional Wedding Officiants who perform Interfaith, non denominational weddings, vow renewals and civil unions, to join you and the one you love in holy matrimony. Our wedding ceremonies capture the essence of each couple as they leap into a new dimension of their relationship. We accomplished this by meeting with the bride and groom early on. During this meeting we focus on the couple's personal, emotional, and spiritual needs. We believe family contributes to a strong marriage and we include family members (mother's, father's, children) in our ceremonies by incorporating touching ceremonies such as "candle lighting, sand or wine". Consultations are free. It is important for us to get to know our couples and for the couples to get to know us as well. This connection is essential to ensure a poignant and personalized ceremony. We serve the Upstate New York Capital District region (Albany, NY Area) and the surrounding area's. Feel free to contact us with any questions or to setup a Free No-Obiligation In-Person Consultation. Thank you and have a wonderful day! Sincerely, Ed Litvaitis & Jim Manuel - Professional Wedding Officiants with the Personal Touch!

I am an ordained minister and certified officiant serving couples in the Capital Region of New York State. I have been performing wedding ceremonies since 2001 with a focus on military couples. Since then I have lived in Colorado, Europe, and back to New York. Put simply, my focus is creating a customized ceremony that reflects who you are as individuals and as a couple. At our first meeting, I answer any and all questions you may have. If you select me as your officiant, the time until your wedding we will get together every so often. Whether you want formal meetings or just hanging out, having a drink, coffee, or sharing a meal, I'm learning about the two of you. Whether you want to be aware of every detail of your ceremony, or want to be surprised... whether you want to laugh during your ceremony or have it as a solemn occasion... you have as much or as little control over the process as you prefer. For example, some couples want traditional vows, some want to write their own, some leave it to me to write them. There are no itemized or extra charges for my level of involvement. If you want a meeting every month and want me at the rehearsal, or if we only meet up a few times, it's all part of what I offer. If you need help planning out your ceremony, or need some referrals for other vendors with specific services, I provide that as well. Most of all, I want the two of you to enjoy your day with as little concern as possible about the little things. I've been known to run interference for parents, family, or friends who try to detract from making the day about your marriage. Also, you have many other officiants to choose from. I'm an option, not competition. It is always a pleasure to meet new couples, and I encourage you to send me a message, phone call, or meet me to see if I'm the right fit for the two of you.

For many of us, religious belief is something long abandoned in favor of rational thought and personal responsibility. In daily life, that seems to work just fine. The world is just as rich and beautiful, full of discovery and brilliance – but as human beings, we are drawn to ritual and tradition, and for many of us, that tradition is grounded in religious faith. So how do you represent who you have become, while celebrating the most important moments of your life? I believe in the amazing potential of human beings. I believe this world is all there is, and that all the wonders of this world are more than enough. I believe it is possible to invoke art, literature, music, good food and drink, and the human bonds we have forged with those we care for, to celebrate life’s milestones. All of the majesty, kinship and significance exist without the need for divisive and exclusionary rhetoric or inflexible dogma. I’d like to help you plan a ceremony to remember . . .

Congratulations! You are engaged to be married and you want someone to officiate at your wedding who will make the day as special as you hope. I'm Rev. Anthony Green and I have been officiating at weddings for more than fifteen years. I always tailor the wedding so that it is a personal expression of the couple I work with. Please call or email me and I will be happy to talk with you about what I offer for a wedding ceremony. Peace and blessings to you and yours!

Congratulations! You have chosen to embark on one of life’s greatest adventures – the committed partnership between two people, each devoted to unconditionally loving the other, and to working together in common purpose and shared harmony. And just as you have chosen to formally sanctify the depth of your relationship, you are also about to choose the style of ceremony and the officiant that best reflects your personal, spiritual and emotional preferences. As a non-denominational interfaith minister, I hold the perspective that there is an essential and common spirituality underlying all of the world's faith traditions. It is a spirituality that speaks to the universal truths that resonate within our hearts, serving to authentically connect people on an intuitive level. I bring that authentic expression of spirituality to the ceremonies I jointly create with couples in such a way that the experience is sacred, elegant, meaningful, and transformative. As a contemporary non-denominational wedding officiant, I enjoy working with people of all faiths, preferences, and spiritual paths, especially those who feel spiritual but not necessarily religious. I believe that our hearts choose our partners, and I celebrate marriage equality for all. I offer warm and distinctive ceremonies that support your beliefs, values and traditions. I am sensitive to the fact that many people are not certain of the style of ceremony that will best represent them. I delight in working with couples to assist them in gaining that clarity, so that together we can custom design a ceremony that is a unique reflection of you. I officiate at weddings, commitment ceremonies, civil unions, and the remaking of vows. I also officiate at all of life's transitions, including baby naming and blessing ceremonies. I practice throughout the Hudson Valley of New York, including the Catskill Mountain region, and cover the counties of Dutchess, Ulster, Columbia, Putnam, Westchester, Orange, Albany, and Greene. I am also available to officiate at weddings in the Berkshire Mountains of southwestern Massachusetts, as well as the western portions of Connecticut. Should you be traveling to the Hudson Valley as a destination wedding, I am very comfortable working remotely, and am able to coordinate all of the details of your special day in a way that will allow it to be a stress-free success. I look forward to having you contact me so that we can explore our synergy and the way in which we can complement one another while crafting a ceremony that is uniquely you.
