Planning your wedding is stressful & I personally didn't realize how important selecting an officiant was to me until a little down the wedding planning road. I truly cannot express enough here how happy we were with Annie. If you are torn choosing an officiant - trust me you will be nothing but impressed with Annie's ceremony service. We just got married in October 2021 in Westhampton Beach, NY at Oceanbleu & it was soooo beautiful. I knew from my first call with Annie that it felt right...I felt understood & that she really has a passion for this! Annie took the time to get to know our relationship & was SO open to crafting our own unique ceremony as I wanted to feel just as substantial as getting married in a church. Annie has a way of making you feel so comfortable & that everything is going to be perfect- even offered to meditate with me beforehand- just a very warming presence! I would recommend over & over again!
Reverend Annie Block Pearl's reply:
Thank you so much for your deeply personal and heartfelt review. It was an honor to officiate for you and Luke and to contribute to the beauty of your sacred day!

Professional and caring
Annie was perfect for our micro wedding. We had two calls beforehand to go over what we would like and to finalize a plan. We had no idea where to start, and she listened to all of our concerns and was able to guide us towards a vision for the ceremony. We appreciate all of her help and guidance at such a vulnerable moment. It ended up being a perfect ceremony and we highly recommend her!
Reverend Annie Block Pearl's reply:
Dearest Jodie,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for your trust in me. It was such a pleasure and honor to be part of your meaningful and touching family event.
Love and blessings,
Reverend Annie

Annie was absolutely lovely to work with! We couldn’t have asked for a more intimate, personal ceremony, which is exactly what we wanted! Annie was patient, creative in her writing and a pleasure to have in the mix of family and friends. Highly recommend her!

June Wedding Montauk - Beautiful Ceremony
Rev. Annie was a fantastic choice for our wedding ceremony. She delivered a warm and special ceremony. Annie took the time to meet with us a few months prior to our wedding. She clearly took the time to get to know us and provided a calm energy during a stressful wedding process. Everyone was raving about it. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Fantastic Experience
We feel so lucky to have found Rev. Annie. From our very first zoom call meeting, we knew we had struck gold. Displaying the highest form of professionalism, Annie was organized and easy to get a hold of while also being highly approachable and a delight to talk to.
Rev. Annie carefully listened and took the time to get to know us so that she could craft a ceremony that was a perfect reflection of ourselves and our values. She brought in her unique insight as an accomplished psychotherapist and ordained minister to create something deeply beautiful and heartfelt. Throughout the day all of our guests kept commenting on how wonderful our officiant was. We are so grateful!

The Best Officiant in The Hamptons
Reverend Annie Block-Pearl officiated our at-home intimate wedding ceremony about 10 days ago. Annie made our celebration special. Annie is spiritual, kind, and experienced and was sensitive and thoughtful with her drafting of the wedding vows and ceremony. Annie integrated both of our religious beliefs and honored our parents that passed during the ceremonial rite. We highly recommend Annie.
Reverend Annie Block Pearl's reply:
Hi Heather,
Thank you so much for your generous and gracious review! It was my honor to officiate this most meaningful and sacred event in your lives.

Reverend Annie Made Our Day
Reverend Annie officiated our last minute Hamptons elopement in September 2020. Anxious to get our plans sorted, Annie put us instantly at ease. She was quick to respond, professional and accommodating. We had an introduction call to acquaint ourselves and another conversation to review the expectations of our ceremony. Annie listened! She struck a beautiful balance between religion, spirituality, and personalized stories / references - all of which we discussed wanting. She was the star of the show, given it was just us and her present meaning she made the ceremony so special in honoring our union. We were so thrilled, words cannot express, and would recommend Reverend Annie for your occasion.
Reverend Annie Block Pearl's reply:
Lindsay and Alex,
Thank you so much for your generous words!. It was a pleasure to share in your precious day.
Many blessings on your union!

The right person to make our wedding day truly special
We had an amazing experience with Annie. Firs we met at her home to tell her more about what we were hoping for and about our relationship. She came up with a simple, thoughtfully personalized ceremony that made us feel great.

Thank you for speaking up. It was such a pleasure to contribute to your future together! Wishing you all the best.

Hire this Gem!
My husband I found Reverend Annie by way of our venue coordinator and we are so glad we found her. She was the picture of professionalism throughout the entire process of leading up to our ceremony and stayed flexible with us when our wedding plans got pushed and changed a few times due to COVID-19.
We both grew up going to Episcopal churches and while we aren’t overly religious now, it was important for us to have touches of the traditional service woven into one that felt more personal to us. Reverend Annie got to know us through a detailed questionnaire and a Zoom meeting, and the script she wrote in return was absolutely beautiful. And struck the exact balance of what we were looking for. She’s such a gifted writer. She made the most excellent recommendation on a reading that captured how love is like the ocean, and it will definitely be framed on our wall for years to come. She was prompt on the day of wedding and handled our hybrid of in-person plus virtual attendance with grace. (We had 25 guests present on the beach and 100 on zoom!)
We could not recommend Reverend Annie more. If you have the opportunity to hire her as your officiant, don’t hesitate. She has such a wonderful energy and a clear love for love. We will always look back fondly watching the videos of our beautiful ceremony.
Reverend Annie Block Pearl's reply:
I am so deeply touched by your review of my services. It was an honor to be part of your wedding journey!
Warmly,
Reverend Annie

An unforgettable, precious moment
The first thing you notice about Reverend Annie Block Pearl is her warmth. With a beautiful smile and empathetic gaze, you are in the presence of wisdom. This is why she presided over our wedding.
We chose to marry on a beach, and hilariously, it turned out to be an incredibly windy day, which presented us with a bit of an obstacle. Her presence of mind helped us figure a way around it and everything continued as planned. That is something you can’t put a price on.
Attentive to our requests, she helped create an intimate, unique, and truly memorable ceremony. Her well-chosen words were beautiful. Annie creates an atmosphere where one feels totally seen, individually and as a couple; everything radiates joy.
We are deeply grateful to her.

Reverend Annie Block Pearl was a true joy to work with and she met all of our expectations. She took time to get to know us as couple and individuals, even though we live far away, and had to schedule video calls on the weekends. We kept our ceremony simple, but had some unusual elements which Annie implemented seamlessly. She even provided a draft of the script prior to the ceremony as it helped me calm my nerves.
During the ceremony she spoke clearly and confidently, but she truly let us shine! Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and would highly recommend Annie to our friends.
Reverend Annie Block Pearl's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an honor and privilege to officiate for you!
Please share some photos of your beautiful day as well!
Abundant love and blessings,
Reverend Annie

Annie Block Pearl (ABP!) was terrific!
Planning a wedding was all about choices. Choices to go cheap on this and spend more on that. Ten different types of flower options, groomsmen tie colors, napkin embroidery, DJ’s, limo’s, after parties, AH. It can be a lot.
We met with several officiants before Annie Block Pearl, and almost right away, we knew she was the one for us. She was personal and professional. ABP got to know us well, and I felt that we created a real bond. She was flexible and yet well prepared. Her ceremony was both relaxed and yet had gravitas.
It was the easiest choice we had to make, thanks Annie B!

Well Executed, Personalized, and Simple Ceremony
My husband and I were looking for a very low key, simple ceremony for us to do for our elopement and Annie was very accommodating to the bare bones nature of what we wanted. She was very kind and wrote some beautiful words for our ceremony that she let us have a copy of. She was also kind enough to do our ceremony on a holiday. Would absolutely recommend.

Annie created the most magnificent ceremony for my husband and I. It was personal, including tidbits of our life together, and included various readings we picked out. Annie was super flexible and really honoured our wishes - we felt like we were all creating something together. On the day of our wedding, Annie was calm, kind and fully present -- she really is the embodiement of light and love.
My wish for any couple is that they have a service as beautiful and heartfelt as ours, and I know that if Annie is involved, they will experience nothing short of amazing!!!

Annie was the perfect officiant for our wedding. She seemed to fit in seamlessly with the desires we had for our ceremony. We were incredibly indecisive and Annie didn’t sweat it at all, yet gently guided us when we were getting off track. I think the most important thing to know about Annie, is that when we were at the alter, her presence was calm, assuring and holding, and looking back on the ceremony that’s exactly what we needed when were in the special yet vulnerable place. Thank you Annie! We will remember our ceremony forever!! ❤️

Annie married my husband and I in a small backyard ceremony after we were forced to cancel our wedding due to covid. She was highly professional and wrote the most beautiful ceremony. She even took time to research some cultural components we wanted to include. We highly recommend her! Thank you Annie!
