    Wonderful Jackie

    Jackie will forever be an indelible part of our special day. Without her, it just wouldn't have been possible - not least because Plan A got rained off and she helped us pull together Plan B! You're in the safest and most caring of hands with Jackie. From the day we asked for her help she took time to really get to know us, guide us on how to make our loose ideas a firm reality, and wrote and delivered the most perfect ceremony when the big day came. She brought a lot of love and goodwill to our planning - and if we had to do it all again, we wouldn't change a thing - especially not her. Thank you Jackie xx

    Jackie was simply fantastic! She made our ceremony an unforgettable experience. Her warm and empathetic nature ensured that we felt comfortable from the very first moment. She created a perfect atmosphere for us. Her support with the organizational aspects was also great. Her expertise and dedication made our day run smoothly. We are incredibly grateful to her and highly recommend her to any couple!

    Everything we wanted and more

    Jackie was always very quick whenever we emailed with questions. Eloping from Scotland was made very easy and stress free with Jackie helping and guiding us the whole time. On the day Jackie helped give us the perfect ceremony and made it as special as it could be. Every little detail in the ceremony summed us up well. Jackie was very professional, I would 10000% reccommend when planning your special day. Thank you again so much, love your Scottish Friends Jay & Heather x

    Brittney and Alphonso Troupe

    All we have to say is wow! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer/officiant duo with Sascha and Jackie. To feel the love for each and what they do and to spread it to their clients is amazing. Very professional from day #1 and even after is rare. They made us feel comfortable and part of their family. Don't waste time booking anyone else. Jackie is such a light and we love Sascha's humor and go get em attitude! The ABSOLUTE BEST. We hope to see them in 10 years when we renew our vows in the most beautiful city in the world!
    Thank you all again! Much Love, Alphonso and Brittney!

    Above and beyond

    Jackie was an excellent celebrant. She worked with us to craft the perfect ceremony, and responded well to our requests for tweaks and changes. She even acted as our witness when we decided to do the legal bit at City Hall a bit earlier than planned, and helped us speed through the various offices for authentications, apostilles, etc. She texted to check in the days before and after the wedding, and on the day was a joyful presence. We would definitely recommend her, along with her photographer husband, Sascha - Go Team Reinking!

    Married in Central Park

    Jackie married myself and my husband on the 7th of February and she did an amazing ceremony. Everyone loved her. She was so warm, caring and professional . She put us both at ease and really was a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was a problem on the build up to our big day. We would highly highly recommend her :) xx

    Amazing day!

    Jackie is lovely. I’d say she was born to do this job.
    We were quite easy going regarding the ceremony and it was beautiful. My husband cried for most of it!
    Together with her husband Sascha who was our photographer they are fantastic team and I’d highly recommend having them as part of your day!

    ✨ Jackie is amazing ✨

    Let me start off by saying that Jackie was extremely attentive and helpful during this whole process. One thing that really helped us a whole bunch is her giving you the option to assist you with your marriage license. For us being an out of state couple, this helped out a lot! We gave her our information and she took care of the application and making sure we had our appointment at the city clerks office when we arrived. When I say this process was stress free, I mean STRESS FREE !!! If you’re looking for an officiant, Jackie is the one ! Look no further ! From a beautiful speech to Always a txt away I can promise you that you won’t regret your decision.
    Thank you Jackie for all you’re love and assistance🩷

    We loved her

    Booking a New York wedding from northern Ireland was so daunting. We didn't know where to start. From reading loads of reviews online we found Jackie and her husband Sascha and what a wedding they both gave us. Not only were they professional from the start with the quick replies, answers for any questions day or night and just making us feel at ease they were also super friendly and welcoming. On the day we met I felt like we had know them years. They kept us right the whole day,
    We bumped into Jackie the day before the wedding at the city clerks office and recognized her immediately, it felt like we had bumped into a good friend we had known for years. She reassured us about the day ahead and organized where we would meet. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect. After only a few months of knowing her she captured us and our relationship perfectly. We couldn't have asked for more.
    The whole experience was one we will never forget and that is thanks to Jackie and Sascha of team reiking. Thank you ❤️

    Amazingly Talented Team!

    Sascha & Jackie!

    we are both in awe of your artistry.  We have spent the weekend poring over the photos and find something new and beautiful each time we catch some nuance or other detail you caught that we had missed in earlier looks.  Your incredible eye, expert direction, and evident experience throughout the session produced some simply breathtaking shots.  This is astounding work, and we could not be more pleased with the gallery, as a whole.  Additionally, we are immensely grateful for the extra photos you provided above & beyond the package we expected.

    We also reciprocate the much-appreciated kind words you shared about Veronica and me with the following: 
    As we embark on our new life together as husband and wife, we simply cannot imagine a more beautiful Wedding Day to start it all off than the day that Jackie and you orchestrated for us.  You two complement each other to form an amazingly talented team, and we are ultimately grateful that God led us to you two wonderful people.  

    Please share with Jackie that we also commend her professionalism, efficiency, and demonstrated ability to pull everything together like clockwork.  This is in equal measure to her authenticity, kindness, and compassionate nature that she exuded from the first time we met virtually, to the in-person meeting at the City Clerk’s office, and clear through her officiating of our ceremony.  Her ability and effort let us concentrate on each other and remain present in the moment and that is a gift we will never forget.

    Please let the abundant emotion; all the tears, laughter, and – most of all - love that are evident in your beautiful photography serve as a testament to you both as individual artists – each in their own way - and to the team you make together.  You two are truly a blessing in that you cleared the path for us to enter into our marriage covenant with clear minds and open hearts, as God intended.  Speaking personally, I simply cannot find words to give adequate justice to the role you both played in making that particular Wednesday in October the happiest day of my life.

    We will never forget our Wedding Day and everything that the Reinking team did to ensure it would be everything we hoped it could be.

    Wishing you both all the best, always -

    A friend for life!

    I have never met someone with a more kind and infectious personality than Jackie. My fiancé (now husband) and I truly felt taken care of every step of our elopement process. We are an out of state couple and Jackie was instrumental in navigating the marriage license process. Not only did she send us with detailed instructions, she was on site to support us every step of the way while serving as a friend and champion of our love. We also had the honor of using Jackie to write our ceremony vows. She is a natural. She truly understands the meaning of love and the importance of the moment for the couple. Beyond that Jackie remained on site for the entirety of our wedding day and process to make sure all of our needs were met. Jackie has found her heart's calling and I have never worked with a more compassionate human and team. We love Jackie and the Reinking team!

    Jackie is such a nice and heartwarming person. Her speech for our wedding was very personal and special.

    Brilliant wedding officiant

    We got married on the 8th September 2023 and we had Jackie as our wedding officiant. We actually had the full team Reinking experience with Sascha as our photographer to. Jackie was the perfect person to be our wedding officiant. Jackie was excellent in guiding us on what we wanted for the ceremony. All her hints and tips allowed the ceremony to be just perfect for what we wanted. On the wedding day Jackie carried out the ceremony in the perfect way and made it so special. How she spoke the words and presented all the quotes was so clear and just exciting to listen to. During the ceremony we felt so relaxed and we couldn't of asked for a better person to conduct our wedding ceremony. As we live in the UK Jackie also took care of all the paperwork for the extended marriage certificate that we needed for the UK and it was delivered to our home in the UK around 3 weeks after the wedding. It was completely stress free. We highly recommend Jackie if you are looking for someone to be your wedding officiant.

    The best choice for an individual and beautiful wedding

    Jackie and her husband Sascha were the best company and support for our relatively spontaneous wedding in the Big Apple that anyone could have asked for. Everything was taken care of and organized so we could just enjoy our big day. The photos turned out gorgeous and also the ceremony, was customized to our wishes and personalities. Thank you both so much for that!

    Jackie Reinking - Best Officiant for an Elopment

    am so happy with my decision to hire Jackie Reinking the officiant for our New York Elopement. I also hired her husband to do the photography, Sascha Reinking.

    Jackie is a joy to work with. She responded promptly to all emails and was extremely professional.

    She wrote a beautiful ceremony and helped us write our vows. It was incredibly meaningful and special. She was also a total rockstar when she met up with us in person to go to city hall and do all the paperwork for our elopement. Everything was explained so clearly and it was an easy process.

    She is enthusiastic and supportive and I love that her and her husband both are very inclusive and supportive of BLM and LGBTAIA groups.

    Jackie was amazing in every way. She wrote and tailored our ceremony for us and it was personal and perfect in every way. We loved how she performed our ceremony and how she made us feel. Jackie is a very kind and warm person and we felt like she was part of our wedding party. She is a very talented lady and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, she made our wedding day!

    WOW! They really are like family

    My husband and I planned to elope in NYC since our wedding plans were getting so hectic and stressful with COVID. We wanted to make it a little extra special so we booked with Jackie & Sascha. Words can't describe how absolutely grateful my husband and I are to have found Jackie & Sascha! They really made our day absolutely spectacular and so stress free!! From start to end everything was so seamless.

    Jackie,
    Thank you for officiating such a beautiful short, quick ceremony (just how we had requested) Your words were absolutely breathtaking and made our little ceremony so memorable.

    Sascha,
    Thank you for taking such bespoke portraits of us! Big thank you from RJ for making it so effortless and painless for him haha! You made us feel so so comfortable! The final images were just WOW.

    Although it was not how we originally planned to get married you both gave us something absolutely mesmerizing. Thank you for being so accommodating, kind, and fun! Just incredible.

    Wonderfully relaxing

    Jackie (and Sascha) were wonderful from the first email we sent to enquire about eloping to NYC from NZ. Having both as a couple to make the process easy and simple was the best decision. Communication was clear and they answered all questions we had over a period of months. Lots of great videos to watch and really helpful. Jackie made the process of our vows so easy and no stress to do anything we didn't want to do. She captured our experiences and lives perfectly. Both made our day wonderful with lots of great banter and chats. Both had a wealth of knowledge about the area and they worked together wonderfully. Would thoroughly recommend Sascha and Jackie to make your day incredible easy :)

    NYC Elopement

    We eloped to NYC to get married in 2023, after 3 years of cancellations due to Covid we finally got the day we have been dreaming about for years.

    We got married in the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park then photos around the park and into midtown and Grand Central Station.

    Jackie and Sascha were brilliant, they were in communication with us every step of the year, for the last 3 years! They were really easy to talk to and quick at responding to questions. They made us feel incredibly comfortable from the first email exchange.

    We met them outside the park and walked to the Ladies Pavilion together having a chat, we encountered a rough sleeper who was in our wedding spot and Sascha kindly asked them to leave and dealt with that while Jackie was keeping our nerves in check and us calm.

    The ceremony was lovely and Jackie really managed to capture so much about us from little information we had given her. The whole thing felt incredibly personal. She made it fun and relaxed and kept us so calm considering we are both quite introverted people and were thinking why did we plan such a public wedding! haha. She has a great way with words and had a smile on her face the whole morning which made us feel even more at ease.

    Sascha is an incredible photographer, he is really nice to get along with and chatty, we spoke about lots of things including a lot of European Football as we walked around for a couple of hours taking pictures.

    We even bumped into Ricky Gervais and Sascha asked him if he would take a photo with us.

    The photos we received from him are spectacular, he really captures the beauty of the City in the pictures and 100% captures the moments. We were thrilled with our pictures. We are constantly looking back at the album and thinking back to the day.

    I would 100% recommend the both of them, they are fantastic, lovely humans and incredible at what they do!

    A year ago we stumbled across photos on the net taken by Jackie’s husband Sascha, which led us to Jackie. So inspired were we by TeamReinking, we decided to put our complete trust in them and elope from Australia to NYC. We had literally just booked our wedding in Australia. Jackie was so easy to work with and we connected with her both via our emails and then the moment we met in person (literally just before our ceremony). Jackie helped us create the most beautiful ceremony in April 2023 at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, NYC. A special moment in time filled with shared promises, love, laughter and quite a few tears. It was an emotional day for us that had been 12 years in the making. Jackie is simply a delight and it was easy for us to just be ourselves in that moment. My husband is still talking about our beautiful ceremony with Jackie by our side. I think he’s your number 1 fan, Jackie!!! Our photos (taken by Sascha) are beyond stunning and the memories of our day and ceremony we will cherish forever. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Tick this one off your list, celebrant and photographer sorted!! I’d give ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Ps I think my husband is already planning for us to renew our vows in the future with TeamReinking!!
