    Lucky to meet her

    Everything with Francesca was perfect. She is very professional and precise.
    She speaks a good Italian and it was great for our family.
    We couldn’t ask for more.

    Great bilingual service

    Rev Francesca was open to doing a bilingual and short secular ceremony. Her Spanish skills are great, both written and spoken. My family are native speakers and really appreciated the Spanish translations woven into the ceremony.

    Wonderful! Professional, attentive to detail, better than expected!

    We could not have asked for a better officiant! She was warm and friendly, but always professional. She listened to what we discussed, and then sent a detailed script for the ceremony. It included a few wording options, which was exactly what we needed to help us craft a ceremony that fit us.

    This was a destination wedding, so everything was done remotely. Our wedding planner, A Central Park Wedding, sent us a list of officiants to choose from. Francesca stood out from the rest, and once we spoke with her (by Zoom, of course!) we knew we would like working with her. She exceeded all expectations, and it was a pleasure to have her as part of our day!

    A delight to work with!

    Rev. Francesca was very knowledgeable about logistics and receptive to ensuring our vision of the ceremony was realized. She did our ceremony bilingually in both Spanish and English, which was well understood and heard by all our guests. She was warm, personable, and helped create a beautiful experience for us in Central Park. Would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you for making our daily incredibly special and memorable! -J & Y

    Professional and Sentimental Officiant

    Picking Francesca to be our officiant was the best decision for us. From the moment we spoke to her, we knew we wanted her to officiate our civil wedding. Her voice was soothing and it can captivate a room quite easily. She has a voice of an angel! It was very important for us to make our ceremony unique and personalize it and she was open to our ideas. She had great suggestions especially including both of our mothers in the ceremony which tugged at our guests heart. To this day, our guests have mentioned how amazing and unique our ceremony was, all thanks to Rev. Francesca!

    A pleasure to work with!

    Francesca was personable, friendly, professional, and did a great job making us feel comfortable with the process and what to expect. She was also very flexible in working with us as we hired her prior to the pandemic and had to reschedule more than once. She's also bilingual and performed our ceremony in English and Italian! We would absolutely recommend her.

    Mr. Frank & Neilia M

    We had a beautiful wedding officiated by Reverend Manisco, on August 1st, 2020. Our wedding took place at The John Paul Jones Park. It is our favorite place and has a beautiful background for pictures. It was the perfect space for social distancing and staying healthy. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day.

    Reverend Manisco was the first officiant we contacted and we were very pleased. We loved the poem Love is kind ... 1Corinthians 13:4-8. She was very patient with formulating our vows, our kids, dog, photographer, videographer, paper work, and bystanders. She gave us a service in the park as one in a cathedral.

    Reverend Manisco personalized our nuptials. She reminded us to reflect on these beautiful promises on our future wedding anniversaries and when we are facing challenges in our marriage. We are happy she shared our special day. May, she continue unite many more couples in love.

    Sincerely,

    Neilia & Frank

    Beautiful ceremony = Rev. Francesca Manisco

    Rev Francesca, was such a pleasure to hire. She is trilingual, and we needed Spanish and English ceremony, and she delivered! We aren’t too religious, but wanted to include something from the Bible, and she added a love poem. Her translations were spot on, she was so professional, she had an outline ready when we met, and was so open to add what we’d like. Day of the wedding, she spoke clear and was so warm, I get emotional just thinking how she married us. She was a delight, I highly recommend this woman to any future betrothed couple.

    A ceremony made for us

    Francesca's presence and help during the entire process of our ceremony in New York was one of the best parts of our wedding experience. She made sure that our ceremony was personalized for us and gave us her time and ideas whenever we had questions or concerns. In addition, her vast knowledge of what to do after the ceremony was invaluable for legalizing our marriage. We could not have had a better experience with Francesca and would highly recommend her services to anyone considering an officiant in NYC.

    Francesca è stata una presenza fondamentale per la nostra cerimonia a New York. La cerimonia che ha scritto per noi è stata perfetta sia in italiano che in inglese, permettendo anche a chi non parlava inglese di seguire ed emozionarsi insieme a noi. Ci ha dato consigli preziosissimi per vivere serenamente i giorni precedenti al matrimonio, ed indicazioni molto precise su come legalizzare il nostro matrimonio per la trascrizione in Italia. Non avremmo potuto chiedere di meglio e consigliamo Francesca a chiunque stia pensando di sposarsi a NYC.

    We cannot thank you enough!!

    We are so lucky that we found Rev. Francesca for our ceremony. It was very important to us to find an officiant who spoke both English and Italian as my husbands family was coming from Italy for the wedding. During our initial meeting with Rev. Francesca, both my husband and I knew she would be perfect. She was so sweet and took the time to get to know us over (the most delicious) cups of espresso. She understood exactly what we were looking for in our ceremony and promptly sent an outlined script of the entire ceremony. We only made a few changes to the script as her words were so beautiful and genuine. On the night of our rehearsal dinner, Rev. Francesca managed to wrangle a room full of loud Italians in order to run through the ceremony once before the big day.

    Our ceremony could not have been more perfect and it's because of Rev. Francesca. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple and it will make your ceremony so much more special. We are so grateful to have found her and highly highly recommend her!!

    Great ceremony!

    We wanted to have a simple but special ceremony. Rev. Francesca agreed to have the ceremony in Spanish since all of our guest were Spanish speaking and it was great! We laughed and we cried! She was wonderful. Thank you!

    We can't ask for a better Reverent! She was so sweet, professional and definitely made our day unforgettable!
    She designed the perfect speech for us after we met twice before the wedding.
    Since I'm Italian, I was looking for a bilingual ceremony for our guests and Rev. Francesca switched from Italian to English making the moments understandable and understandable for all.
    I definitely recommend her!

    Francesca was fantastic. We met up with her in a coffeeshop months prior to our wedding to meet in person and got a good vibe from her. Her Italian language skills came in useful as she recited a couple of Italian love quotes during our ceremony, much to the delight of our older Italian-American guests! She emailed us suggested vows and we tailored these, and also wrote our own short promises to one another. The ceremony length was perfect and we've received compliments on how personal it was, and how touching. She has a great speaking voice and a calming manner. She was of great help to my husband immediately before the ceremony as she turned up a good hour before and so could offer advice on layout (we had a park wedding with just a few chairs for pregnant/older guests) from her experience. Recommended!

    Francesca is an absolute pleasure to work with. Being half Italian, it was really important to me that the ceremony be conducted in both English and Italian so that all my family would be able to understand. It was simply perfect! Francesca's input leading up to the wedding was invaluable and she could not have been more accommodating on the big day. She traveled over 2 hours to officiate our wedding, stayed overnight and led both the rehearsal and wedding ceremony for a very reasonable fee - considerably less than local officiants who wouldn't have been bilingual and wouldn't have attended the rehearsal. Both my husband and myself couldn't recommend her more. Francesca Manisco is a fantastic human being and a remarkable officiant.

    Our wedding ceremony was absolutely dreamy! Francesca did an extraordinary job, we felt so comfortable with her. We loved her peaceful lovely words that gave us the romantic atmosphere we were looking for. All our guests congratulated us for choosing her to officiate that unforgettable moment of our lives.
    We can´t be happier and thankful, because she made our wedding day as perfect as we dreamed it.

    Carina and Steve :)
