Wedding Officiant in New York

We worked very closely with Deborah to curate an interfaith ceremony blending Greek and Jewish customs. She did an incredible job at guiding us and helping create a ceremony that included not only the traditional aspects of both cultures, but also special readings and moments that were meaningful to us. Deborah was easy to work with and very responsive.

I wanted to book Lauren as our officiant for our wedding because I have known her for a long time and knew she would take my and my husbands story and create a magical ceremony for the both us. She is very well spoken and really cared about making our day so special. She asked the important questions to capture what made our love story special and brought our story to life in front of our family and friends. As a gay couple we struggled to find an officiant that would be comfortable to officiate a gay wedding and Lauren did not hesitate to rise to the occasion. If you are looking for an officiant who is caring, kind, and professional, Lauren would be perfect!

Marc did a wonderful job as our wedding officiant, and we are so happy we chose him. His words were thoughtful and beautiful, and they were warmly received by everyone. He added meaning and weight to the ceremony without ever sounding preachy or overly formal. Marc was also exceptionally well prepared and helpful throughout the process—he even alerted us when the pianist mixed up one of the songs! Thoughtful touches, such as creating a printed program, made the experience even more special. It was such a happy and memorable day, and Marc was absolutely a key part of making it so wonderful.

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.

Sarah was amazing, truly making our wedding ceremony beautiful. She took the time to get to know us and this made the words she prepared for our ceremony heartfelt. We had so many guest tell us that they were crying through out the ceremony. She kept us on track during the wedding and used well timed levity to cover over my own confusion during the ceremony. We are so grateful for Sarah's help through out the whole process, including the help she provided in writing our vows. She was also extremely organized which made planning so easy. Sarah was a professional from start to finish and so friendly putting us at ease during our most nervous moments.

Rev Neal Relyea was very professional. Neal will work with you to make your special day special. Neal will walk you thru everything including writing your vows. On a side note, Neal is also a photographer. I highly recommend Neal on both services.

Rabbi Broden was an excellent wedding officiant! He made our wedding ceremony remarkably memorable and perfectly customized. He had a warm, charismatic presence and his speeches were inspiring, meaningful, and captured our love story with the perfect amount of Jewish tradition. Our ceremony was our favorite part of our wedding day and it fully reflected our couple and our mix of traditions. In fact, Rabbi Ron suggested adding a Ukrainian rushnyk ceremony under our chuppah, which captured my wife’s traditions and perfectly tied the event together. Also most of my Jewish relatives had never seen a ketubah signing before, and Rabbi Ron made it into a beautiful and meaningful experience for all. We couldn’t be happier with Rabbi Ron and with how our wedding went!

Reverend Michael Callahan was the perfect officiant for our wedding! He took care from the very beginning to learn about us as individuals and as a couple, and put us at ease throughout the process. We spoke several times about what kind of ceremony we'd like & he provided us with an outline with different options. On the day of, he chose the most beautiful words to describe us and it went off without a hitch. Multiple times throughout the night, we received compliments on his words from our guests. We are so glad we found him to celebrate our special day!

Working with Rev. Deb was such a great experience from start to finish. We virtually met her during the initial process and enjoyed designing our ceremony speech with her. We received SO MANY compliments on our ceremony about how everyone enjoyed listening to our story and journey, and how personal and intimate everything felt throughout the speech. Deb was very communicative during the entire process and always followed through on the timelines provided to us. I would highly recommend working with her if you want a very personalized ceremony speech given by someone who genuinely cares about everyone's story and is so easy to work with and pleasant to be around.
