    A Perfectly Personal Ceremony

    Finding an officiant was the toughest part of our vendor search! Our vision was a unique secular wedding ceremony: something that was profound, but not too serious. Upbeat and sweet, but not overly saccharine. And we wanted it to feel personal and true to our story as a couple who has been together for 10+ years. It was a tough balance to strike, but when we met with Stephanie at Unfiltered Weddings, we knew she could do it. And she seriously knocked it out of the park!
    My husband and I both write professionally, so we went a little over-the-top on our vows. We also finished them at the last minute. Stephanie was able to modify the ceremony at the last minute to accommodate our long vows, and she did it seamlessly.

    Our guests are still talking about how much they loved the ceremony. Many of them thought Stephanie was a personal friend of ours based on how well the ceremony captured our personalities and unique quirks as people – they were shocked to find out that we hired her!

    Stephanie’s ceremony meant so much to us, especially considering how long we had waited for the big day after multiple pandemic delays. We’re looking into printing parts of the ceremony and framing them around our home, because her words touched our hearts so deeply. We cannot recommend Unfiltered Weddings highly enough for any wedding ceremony.

    Amazing Wedding

    I can’t recommend Stephanie enough. She wrote the most beautiful ceremony for my husband and I. Neither of us had a whole lot of ideas on what we wanted quotes or poetry-wise, except a mutual love for The Princess Bride. She snuck in two references that had us beaming.

    My sister-in-law commented that it was so nice of my friend to perform the wedding. When I told her I only spoke with Stephanie a few times prior to the ceremony she was floored. “She talked about you two like she knew you your whole lives.” The wedding felt so personal and intimate. Stephanie will not disappoint! It was everything we didn’t even know we always wanted. Thanks, Stephanie!

    Highlight of our day(s)!

    My husband, I met with Stephanie, and from her infectious energy, we knew that she was a wonderful fit for us. Together, we spoke about what we envisioned our service to look like. She has such a wonderful way with words and I loved hearing about what she was envisioning. We filled out a survey (which was a lot of fun!) and she was able to tell more of our love story. Our wedding was scheduled for April 2020, at the height of covid and it was canceled. Luckily for us, Stephanie's support and flexibility helped us tie the knot during this time. My husband, I got married on the Greenpoint pier with Stephanie and she blew us away. It was spot on. Lucky for us, in Sept of 2021, my husband and I were able to gather family and friends for a wedding dinner and Stephanie came to "renew" our vows. She adjusted our ceremony to fit in all of the things that have happened to us in the past year. Our family and friends were raving about her and It was extremely special. Stephanie will work to understand you as a couple as well as your family dynamic. We highly recommend!

    Happy crying

    Stephanie!!! My mom had to put on her sunglasses because she couldn't stop crying and didn't want to ruin our photos with her puffy eyes. Ivo and I had a BEAUTIFUL wedding ceremony. It was unforgettable. Thank you for being a part of it. Stephanie was extremely sweet, prompt, kind, and professional. She made sure to really incorporate the essence of my husband and I into the ceremony. HIGHLY recommend!

    Beautiful Ceremony

    We are SO happy we hired Stephanie for our ceremony. From the beginning, she sent us a detailed survey to fill out and then met with us. Then, she put together a draft of a ceremony and had us review it. We were floored with how she was able to capture us and capture our personalities and relationship based on brief interactions. Stephanie was well spoken, eloquent and warm throughout the ceremony. People came up to us afterwards and asked how we knew her, because she seemed to know us so well based on the ceremony. Everyone said it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they’d heard. In fact, one of our guests already looked into hiring her for their wedding! It’s easy to get into planning the aesthetics of a wedding and forget about the ceremony, but with Stephanie you won’t have to worry about it being an afterthought. She will create and provide a beautiful ceremony tailored to your individual needs.

    This girl knows how to write a love story!

    Beautiful and loving speech written by Stephanie. She listened to what we felt for each other and put it into a beautiful love story. Her delivery in her speech was flawless and her vocals soothing. She was such a huge asset to our a big day!

    Couldn't have asked for a better officiant!

    Stephanie made my groom and I feel so comfortable when we were nervous wrecks. She is so kind, personable, funny and easy to be around. She fit our personalities and style of our wedding 110%. Don't think twice! I definitely recommend her. Thank you so much!

    A professional, emotive and genuinely funny speaker

    We highly recommend Stephanie! Stephanie, who married us this August at Dobbin St in New York. The first time we met her, she was confident yet very attentive, and we just fell in love with her. She gave us the most beautiful and genuinely funny ceremony which exactly translated our personalities. She perfectly handled an unexpected circumstance during the ceremony, so we could finish our ceremony with happiest memories only. Thank you Stephanie!

    Stephanie is the absolute best!

    Stephanie was absolutely amazing for our wedding back in June. She worked with us to put together the perfect customized ceremony. We wanted to include readings and music done by our family members and Stephanie incorporated these ideas so beautifully. It was a pleasure working with her. She is fun and professional. We would highly recommend hiring her for your wedding ceremony. You won't be disappointed. She's the best!

    Excellent!

    Everyone loved the ceremony! But of course, after reading what Stephanie put together for us, I had no doubt! Stephanie was truly helpful throughout the process and marvelous to work with the day of. I cannot thank her enough! Highly recommended!

    Fun, loving, creative, responsive and great professional

    Had the pleasure of meeting and working with Stephanie. She is the perfect example of a great professional and has exceeded our expectations. We reached out to her, sort of in the last minute, however, she still made time to meet up with us before the wedding and took her time with all our needs. She made sure to incorporate aspects of my culture, as well as, my husbands and even researched poetry (from each language) to incorporate in the ceremony. The ceremony was certainly personal, with sweet, loving and emotional aspects and also some funny parts, we loved it! And so did everyone else! I would recommend Stephanie over and over again without hesitation! We were lucky to have met her!

    Steph did an absolutely phenomenal job as our officiant. She personalized our ceremony and as requested kept it short and sweet. She had most of our groomsmen in tears. I cannot recommend her enough. If you want a unique and memorable wedding ceremony you MUST hire Steph!

    Stephanie was so amazing at a wedding we went to last year that we didn't have to think twice about who we were going to hire to help plan and officiate our wedding! She has been so accommodating and helpful throughout the whole process that we can't even begin to imagine what it would be like without her guidance. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness ensures that your ceremony is fully catered to the two of you. We absolutely can't wait to have Stephanie be part of our special day. Thank you Steph!

    Stephanie did the “couple story” at our wedding since my godmother officiated. She was absolutely perfect. We gave her complete freedom to say whatever she wanted about us as we have been friends with her for over 3 years. The only add in we did was incorporate lines from one of my favorite love poems, which she said so beautifully at the end of her speech. She talked about Andrew and I as a couple and about each of us as our own person. She made us and everyone laugh and cry and overall just feel good about ourselves. I have never heard sweeter or more true words said about myself and Andrew before. I am so glad we asked Stephanie to be apart of our ceremony even if she couldn’t actually marry us. I would highly recommend Stephanie as an officiant for your wedding!

    We had the privilege of having Stephanie officiate our wedding. The ceremony was customized to fit us as a couple with quotes and stories from our lives. She met with us to get to know us and reached out to friends and family for information and stories. We received so many compliments from our guests on the ceremony! Stephanie incorporated a ribbon from my great grandmother in with an Irish rope tradition that was very meaningful and creative. Stephanie was very professional but also warm and welcoming. It was an amazing day! Thank you Stephanie!

    Stephanie was wonderful to work with. We were very happy with the ceremony which was short and sweet, made the guests laugh (and cry, ooh moms) and had us giggle. She endured wind and cold temperatures with us which we are very grateful for. Stephanie helped making our day very special. Thank you, Steph!

    Stephanie did an amazing job with our wedding. She tailored the entire ceremony to our tastes & incorporated all the things we wanted. She even went to my mom to find something special to say at the ceremony that my Nonno used to say & surprised us with it. It made for a very emotional & meaningful surprise end to our ceremony. 5 stars isn't enough to express how special she made our day! She didn't leave a single detail out & was in constant contact with us in the weeks leading up to the wedding. If you don't hire her, you're missing out!

    Personalized and Perfect

    Stephanie worked with us to craft a ceremony and vows that were perfect for our setting and our personalities. She was even willing to do the ceremony in a busy public place. Absolutely recommended!

    Stephanie not only customized our entire ceremony based on our personalities but she also went above and beyond to officiate half the ceremony in French, so I could surprise my husband. A language neither of us spoke. She worked with French speakers to craft the wedding vows as well as worked tirelessly on practicing the pronunciation which was very much appreciated as I was following her lead ;). She basically ran the stage on the best day of my life and did better then I could have ever imagined.

    Anne M - Mother of the Bride

    We had the pleasure of having Stephanie officiate our daughter's wedding and we couldn't have been happier with the service! Stephanie spends time with the couple listening to their story and respects their ideas in what will become the perfect ceremony. She blended traditions of Irish and Italian heritages of the bride and groom using linen belonging to their great grandparents and performed a special ancient Celtic blessing of the hands ceremony within the ceremony. She can assist with readings and music and is very professional and inclusive. Guests were continually complimenting Stephanie and the happy couple on the beauty and uniqueness of the ceremony. Her expertise in arranging the ceremony actually bonded everyone who was there to witness the beauty and love at this beautiful affair. It set the tone for the perfect evening! Stephanie is a one in a million! So happy with everything!
