Lisa P. Sent on 11/08/2023Beautiful and personal marriage ceremony
We had the best experience with Franny for our wedding ceremony on 10/28/23. She was super responsive and easy to work with right from the beginning. She had us fill out extensive questionnaires to get to know us and understand our approach to marriage. The custom ceremony she drafted was absolutely lovely and matched us so well. She was flexible in making some changes we requested and also guided us on writing our vows and I love how they came out. On the day of, she absolutely nailed it! So professional and such great delivery, she had our guests laughing and crying the whole time. We heard from so many guests that they loved our ceremony and so did we!! Would absolutely recommend hiring her to anyone!Franny, Wedding Officiant & Day-Of Stage Manager's reply:
Thank you, Lisa! It was such a pleasure to work with you and get to know you both through this process. What a beautiful partnership you have. Thank you for letting me be a part of the celebration! -

Franny made all the difference!
We couldn't be more grateful that we chose Franny to officiate our wedding. After seeing her officiate a friend's wedding, we knew before we were even engaged that she was the one (it was love at first sight). Franny's questionnaire was so thoughtfully crafted to really get to the heart of our relationship and what we wanted represented in the ceremony. When she shared the first draft with us, it was obvious that this was not a cookie cutter ceremony, but rather something crafted especially with us in mind. Our friends and family were so touched by the ceremony, and the whole process was so collaborative. I also appreciate the logistics that Franny helps with--reminding us of the timeline to get our license, and mailing it for us right after the ceremony. We were in such good hands. Book her!Franny, Wedding Officiant & Day-Of Stage Manager's reply:
Thank you, Athena! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your Brooklyn wedding. The whole evening was filled with laughter and warmth, even though it was rainy and cold. Such a wonderful day, congratulations! -

Elizabeth Sent on 03/20/2023Franny was the MVP of my wedding!
I cannot recommend Franny enough. Her officiant + DOC work was perfect for our level of needs as a couple who had already done all of the planning & booking ourselves but needed help with tying up all the loose ends in the couple weeks before the wedding & stage managing the wedding itself. She truly made our wedding a zero-stress experience; I felt like I could totally relax the entire day knowing that she had all the details and was going to make sure everything came together. Franny went completely above and beyond in making the extremely narrow setup & teardown windows we were given by the venue work and chasing down final details from a vendor we had a hard time communicating with. She also helped my groom coordinate an amazing surprise for me during the ceremony with no spoilers! Everything went off without a hitch and I'm so grateful!Franny, Wedding Officiant & Day-Of Stage Manager's reply:
Thank you, Lizzie! It was such a pleasure working with you both. What a gorgeous, warm day. Thank you for having me be a part of it! -

Lisa H. Sent on 04/02/2023Franny is the BEST!!!
Franny was both our officiant and day-of coordinator and we cannot say enough great things about her! From the start, she was on the ball with communicating to our vendors, drafting a timeline of the day and making sure there were no gaps or anything that could lead to a mishap. She worked so well with everyone and was the glue that kept everything together. Franny also wrote and performed our ceremony and it was amazing! She is an amazing writer and presented it beautifully. It told our story, had some funny bits and spoke to love and the significance of that moment. There were both laughter and (happy) tears, which is exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. We had multiple guests come up to us to tell us 1) it was the best ceremony they’ve seen and 2) how on top of everything she was with being also the day-of coordinator. In the end, the day went perfectly and we have her to thank for that! P.S. She is also just a super cool personFranny, Wedding Officiant & Day-Of Stage Manager's reply:
You are too sweet, Lisa, thank you for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you both! -

Mariya A. Sent on 04/22/2022Best ceremony ever
Our DJ mentioned he worked a wedding with an officiant who made an impression on him (Franny), so we figured we'll reach out to her to see for ourselves.
PROCESS: Right from the start, Franny was very responsive and personable. She made an effort to know us as a couple and write the ceremony we wanted. She made us feel at ease and ensured that our questions/ concerns were answered timely—one of the best and most pleasant vendors we had.
DAY OF: She made our day! The ceremony was PERFECT. Our guests were engaged, crying and laughing as it went on. My husband and I were over the moon. We had dozens of guests telling us this was the best ceremony they've ever attended. I cannot recommend Franny enough!!!Franny, Wedding Officiant & Day-Of Stage Manager's reply:
Thank you Mariya! It was so wonderful working with you and Kevin. What a pleasure getting to know you. -

Franny Was perfect
My wife comes from a religious background and I do not. We wanted someone who could be fun and casual but also bring a little gravitas to our backyard wedding. Franny was perfect. She was present and never pretentious. Honest and warm. The ceremony felt relaxed and personal and moving. I can't imagine anyone else doing it. If you are looking for someone to work with you and make your day feel special, you will not regret working with Franny.Franny, Wedding Officiant & Day-Of Stage Manager's reply:
Thank you for this thoughtful review, Richard! It was such a special moment, thank you for including me. -

We loved Franny from the moment we met her during our first consultation. It felt like we'd known her for a long time. Hiring her as our day-of coordinator and officiant was hands down one of the best decisions we made. I felt in such great hands and was able to focus on enjoying my wedding day. She handled the day of coordination beautifully and officiated a gorgeous ceremony for us. People loved her. They even thought she was one of our friends. lol. Everything felt magical and perfect. I can't recommend her enough!Franny, Wedding Officiant & Day-Of Stage Manager's reply:
Thank you Z! It was such a pleasure working with you both. Thank you for letting me be a part of such an intimate & beautiful day. -

Antonia D. Sent on 11/09/2021Franny is an amazing officiant and day-of coordinator
Franny wrote us a meaningful, personalized ceremony that was delivered beautifully but she also proved to be LIFESAVING as our day-of coordinator. From our first meeting we realized how organized and knowledgable Franny is. She knew all the questions we needed to be asking and honestly revealed to us how much really needed to be done. She quickly got us organized with a to-do list and was gently on top of us (without being overbearing) to make sure everything was in line for our perfect day. The entire time she was very responsive, patient and always kind, offering to help with whatever she could. We met a second time with her at the venue and she was on top of EVERYTHING! Not only did she make sure to get to all of our questions but she also made sure to address the needs of all of our vendors. Working with Franny was EASY and fun! She truly allowed us to trust her with the planning and organizing so that we could focus only on ourselves and our celebration. Even our families love her!Franny, Wedding Officiant & Day-Of Stage Manager's reply:
You’re so kind! It was such a pleasure working with you both. So glad I could be a part of this beautiful day. -

Katrina Sent on 01/02/2021Amazing Personalized Ceremony and Attentive Officiant
Franny was absolutely the best officiant we could ever ask for. She really made our ceremony so personal and meaningful. We really appreciated the time she took to write up our ceremony based on the questionnaire and conversations we had. We highly recommend her! -

Joyce D. Sent on 09/26/2020A pleasure!
Franny was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend her without hesitation. When we decided to cancel our wedding due to covid-19, I was sad thinking we would not get to utilize her services after all the planning we had done, but luckily she had the flexibility to perform a virtual ceremony including all our closest family and friends. The actual content of her ceremony was extremely moving and well-written. She had given us the option to personalize it as much or as little as we wanted. In such a stressful world, if you want a chill, dedicated, responsive vendor, Franny is the way to go! -

Elizabeth K. Sent on 10/08/2019Blessing in disguise
We initially asked a close family member to officiate our wedding this September and were quite surprised when he declined. I was stressing out but luckily we found Franny and hit it off. We interviewed a couple other officiants and found her to be the most down-to-earth, chill and genuinely interested candidate. She did an awesome job ultimately so it worked out perfectly! We got so many compliments on our ceremony from friends and family. Thank you again! -Elizabeth & WillFranny, Wedding Officiant & Day-Of Stage Manager's reply:
Thank you, Elizabeth and Will! It was such a pleasure to meet you and work with you and create something special for your wedding day. I found YOU to be chill and down-to-earth and it was a lot of fun working with you. Thank you for having me at your retro wedding and allowing me to talk about your relationship to those who you love. -

The best!
My wife and I had our wedding officiated by Franny, and we both agree that it was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process.
Our friends were quite involved in helping plan and organize our wedding, so we didn’t want to burden any of them with getting certified, planning the ceremony, and writing extra speeches. We were concerned with hiring someone we didn’t know to officiate the wedding ceremony, but finding Franny was truly a blessing!
To help her learn more about us, we had a call with her and she sent us a short list of questions. Filling out the questions ended up being a fantastic exercise for both of us to do in the midst of planning the wedding. They made the process feel light again and reminded us of why we were getting married in the first place!
From the information gathered in the questions and calls, she built am absolutely beautiful ceremony for us. She was captivating, well-spoken, and thoughtful. The ceremony was exactly what we were looking for and had the entire wedding laughing and crying along with us.
It’s worth mentioning that our ceremony was outside in Brooklyn on the hottest day in 20 years. Without missing a beat, she not only kept us calm about the heat, but also ensured that the ceremony moved at a quick pace so our guests could get inside in the air-conditioning. She turned a seriously stressful situation into something that was light and genuinely magical for us and our guests.
We can’t recommend Franny enough! Our wedding guests still comment on how beautiful and touching the ceremony she put together was. You’re doing your wedding a disservice by passing up on her!Franny, Wedding Officiant & Day-Of Stage Manager's reply:
Thank you Grace and Chris! It was an absolutely pleasure to work with you as you planned your wedding from afar. I loved hearing your story and felt so inspired by your partnership. And I’m still shocked that even in the heat you both looked so calm and collected! It was a great experience all around. All the best to you both as you continue on this adventure. -
