Wedding Officiant in Greater New York City Metro

Fr. Stephen did such an amazing job on our interfaith ceremony! He came onto a boat and even sat in the pouring rain just for us with a big smile on his face the whole time. He was so sweet and spent so much time with us in the whole lead up to everything and gave us such good advice as a couple in general. Would highly recommend!!!

We are beyond grateful to have had Pastor Lawrence officiate our wedding! From beginning to end, he was absolutely amazing. His warm, humble, and genuine personality made the entire experience even more special. The message he delivered during our wedding ceremony was truly beautiful, heartfelt, and meaningful. His words were inspiring and perfectly captured the importance of love, faith, and marriage. We also had the pleasure of participating in premarital counseling sessions with Pastor, which were incredibly valuable. He provided us with meaningful guidance on building a strong foundation for our marriage, communicating effectively, understanding one another, and, most importantly, keeping God at the center of our relationship. His wisdom, patience, and thoughtful advice gave us lessons that we will carry throughout our marriage. What truly sets Pastor apart is his sincerity, kindness, and genuine passion for helping couples build strong, faith centered marriages. He made us feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged throughout the entire process. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate such an important moment in our lives. We are truly thankful for the role he played in our special day and the guidance he provided as we began this new chapter together. We highly recommend Pastor to any couple looking for an officiant who is not only professional and personable but also genuinely invested in their marriage and spiritual growth. Thank you, Pastor, for making our wedding ceremony so memorable and meaningful!

From the first time I spoke to staci, I knew I was in good hands. She was present throughout the planning process. Very patient and communicative, always available to answer our questions. Staci went above and beyond to personalize our ceremony, incorporating our speaking language and love story into the vows. Everything was smoth... We highly recommend staci to any couple looking for a professional and personable officiant.

As a first time bride, your feelings and emotions are at an all time high. The aniexty and apprehension is there. However, when I met Ms. Maggie all that went away. She was the light that was needed and her professional demeanor and down to earth personality made my wedding on August 16, 2025 an experience that will last a lifetime. Thank you, for giving me this moment. My husband and I are forever grateful.

Do yourself a favor and hire her already! RevD crafted the most beautiful, touching, true-to-us ceremony we could've imagined, and really contributed to our wedding day being so special. She is an incredible writer and speaker in addition to being the perfect balance of laid-back and professional. The ceremony she wrote really got to the heart of who we are as a couple, and was a beautiful, sincere expression of our love that we got to share with all of the important people in our lives. Several of our guests asked us how we knew RevD, because the ceremony was so personal to us that they assumed we must've already been friends with her. She is a true gem and hiring her was easily one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process.

Nick was amazing from the start. He was very kind, helpful, and responsive. My mother was sick when we were planning our wedding and I asked if he would be able to do a ceremony at the hospital. And when my mother went to hospice he drove more than 2 hours to come and do a ceremony for us so my mom could be there. He truly made it so special and everyone wondered how we knew him since he was so friendly and if felt like he must have been our friend for years (we met him for the first time that day). He made sure we were well taken care of and gave so much of himself for us which truly felt special. During our second and actual ceremony he made it feel special. He not only learned another skill (hand fastening) but did it seamlessly for the first time at the ceremony. I just can’t rave about him enough. When we discussed with him about our story and all the things we’d like to have or not to have he took so many notes and during the ceremony incorporated absolutely everything! He made it fun and serious at the same time. He made me feel so secure that a the job will be done and done well. And he absolutely succeeded and pushed way past our expectations! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Rabbi Brian delivered a ceremony of services that were beyond comprehension. With care, compassion, energy, and humor, he wrapped us with such love for our day. We and everyone were amazed at how he truly seemed to know us. He recounted so many moments from our love story, even moments I forgot we mentioned to him, and made us feel like we were the only ones in the room- from the signing of the Ketubah, the Bedenken, to under the Chuppah. Multiple people asked where we found him and how they can use him! When you book a Rabbi or any officiant for that matter, there is a concern that it will feel like they just walked into the room without any care to get to know couple. The ceremony will feel as if they just grabbed a tired script and just incorporated your names to make it work. Not Rabbi Brian. I was not expecting the services leading up to the ceremony and the ceremony itself to be as memorable and thoughtful as it was. We want to thank him for making us feel seen and capturing the authenticity of who we are as a couple and individually as people. He brought so many people (even the most unexpected) to sniffles and happy sobbing (including us). If you are considering Rabbi Brian for any services, do not hesitate. You will be made to feel like you two are the only people in the room, no matter the size of your event!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Juan! From the moment we met him over Zoom and he had his arms up in the air thrilled to meet us, we knew he was the one. We were looking for someone bilingual who could seamlessly incorporate both English and Spanish into our ceremony, and Juan nailed it. The balance was perfect (about 60/40 English to Spanish), and he crafted it in such a thoughtful way that I think even the Spanish portions felt completely accessible to everyone. Juan has this incredible, radiant energy that lights up every interaction. He loves what he does, and it shows in every word, every gesture, every smile. He worked closely with us over a few meetings to create a ceremony that felt so uniquely “us”; personal, heartfelt, joyful, and inclusive. He guided us through the process with care and creativity, and treated our wedding like it was the most important event he’d ever been a part of. During the ceremony, he knew exactly how to read the room and work the crowd, striking the perfect balance between humor, sentiment, and sincerity. When I (the bride) walked in with my dad, the crowd literally broke into applause! I've never seen that in my life. So many of our guests came up to us afterward raving about how beautiful and moving the ceremony was, and we owe that all to Juan. It’s no surprise he only has 5-star reviews. He deserves every single one and more. If you’re lucky enough to book him, just know you’re in the absolute best hands. Juan, thank you for making our day unforgettable!

The questions we were given to answer before our wedding prompted meaningful discussion and vulnerable sharing. Working with Vows of Grace helped us to start our journey as husband and wife with a renewed sense of trust and shared values.

Our ceremony was everything we'd hoped and much, much more, all thanks to Barbara. She brought tremendous kindness and humor to telling our story, and every part of working with her—from our very first chats through the wedding day—was a pleasure. Guest after guest sang her praises and asked us how long we'd known her, or even how we were related! i can’t recommend Barbara highly enough.
