Jim responded to my request instantly. We hopped on a zoom call, and booked the date! He had everything ready to go, told me exactly what we needed to do to he ready, and was able to accommodate a last minute rehearsal. I will absolutely recommend him to anyone getting married in NY!
WeMarryU's reply:
Thank you so much for the nice review, Valerie. You and Seth were a fantastic couple and it was my pleasure to perform your ceremony! I hope the rest of your evening was fantastic. It looked like you were off to a great start when I left!

Terrific Experience
Our experience with Jim as our officiant was amazing. From start to finish the entire process was so seamless and organized. We loved that we were able to customize our ceremony to exactly what we wanted and any questions we had Jim was very quick to respond. We were able to compose many drafts to make sure that every detail that we wanted was accounted for. For the rehearsal, Jim was extremely clear and made sure when we left everyone was on the same page and all questions had been answered.
Our ceremony went so smoothly and Jim made us feel comfortable as we stood in front of all of our loved ones. We are a few days post and are still receiving messages of praise from guests for how amazing they thought the ceremony was and how much they enjoyed watching and listening to Jim.
We would 100% recommend Jim to anyone looking for an officiant for their special day. 10/10 experience

A wonderful experience!
Jim was a total joy to work with from beginning to end. Responded fast to all questions and concerns, and met with us personally to go over our ceremony. He created an incredibly personal ceremony for us that our guests loved. Was a calm, reassuring presence during the rehearsal and wedding day. Could not recommend highly enough!

Absolutely Amazing
I cannot say enough about Jim with We Marry U. He is absolutely amazing. He answered all my emails in a timely manner, and heard all of my concerns and worries. Both my groom and I were extremely nervous about the ceremony portion of our wedding as neither of us are good about being in the spot light. Jim broke everything down perfectly making our ceremony seamless and perfect. If your getting married you want him! Thanks so much Jim!!!!!!

Ed is simply the best. From our first meeting, we knew he was perfect for our day. He is friendly, personable and very professional. He was there through the whole process and delivered such a beautiful ceremony. He went above and beyond on the day of the wedding, coordinating with our vendors and he helped facilitate the little things that made our ceremony perfect. I truly can't thank Ed enough. 11/10 recommend!!

Fantastic Officiant
Jim was fantastic to work with. Very flexible and guided us through the process of getting our license and organizing the ceremony. Jim was there to answer any questions we had and to reassure us that everything would work out great in the end. And it did. He performed a great ceremony for us.. Could not ask for anyone better.

Very good wedding officiant!
Jim, was a very professional, responsive, and courteous officiant. We were roughly 7 months from our wedding and still hadn’t found an officiant, after we found him he was very quick to respond. If things were going awry he always new what to say to throw in a little humor to make things go better and he had a great friendly personality to begin with. Over the months we talked very frequently and Jim helped us to create a beautiful ceremony that we will never forget.

Perfect officiant and ceremony delivery
We reached out to WeMarryU and we were promptly replied to. Ed was incredibly flexible, especially since he was only given a weeks notice. Ed put together and delivered a lovely ceremony that felt personal even though we only met him a week prior. He went above and beyond on the wedding day as stepping up to help coordinate amongst other vendors too with ceremony timings. Would definitely recommend and thank you!

Jim was our officiant for our wedding. The first meeting we decided to go with him. Jim has an amazing personality and great sense of humor. You can tell he’s done so many weddings. He helped guide us through the planning process, answered any questions we had. He was very flexible, I was a last minute bride on a few ceremony details and Jim would just send me a new version of the ceremony with the changes very quickly. Nothing was a surprise in the ceremony, which I appreciated and he did a great job of giving us all the options for ceremony choices. Overall we are so grateful to have had Jim be such a huge part of our day! Thank you Jim!
WeMarryU's reply:
Thank you so much for the great review, Koreena. You and Korey were a pleasure to work with and i'm glad you were so happy with your ceremony. I just wish I could have stayed around a little longer, instead of having to leave for my son in law's surprise party!

Perfect officiant! Wow!
WOW. How can you possible write a recommendation about the day that was so perfect! Jim Manuel was amazing throughout the entire process, from the initial meeting to follow up emails to keep us on track of what he needed. BUT the wedding was magnificent- he was personal, he was passionate- he was REMARKABLE! Jim made the ceremony flow smoothly while engaging the wedding guests and wedding partly alike. The guests were all so impressed as well ! I would highly recommend Jim Manuel at We Marry U to anyone looking to get married.

Highly highly recommend Jim as your officiant. He was extremely knowledgable on the process, as well as easy to connect with to cater the ceremony to you and your partners desires. Jim was extremely flexible in taking on our ceremony less than 4 weeks out from the date, which we are forever grateful for. He has married many couples within our social circle and we could not have chosen a better officiant!
WeMarryU's reply:
Thank you so much, Liz. I was honored you chose me and glad we were able to work together, to accommodate both of our schedules!

Bethany and Ryan- July 2nd, 2022
When we were looking for someone to officiate our wedding, we came across WeMarryU on wedding wire. We reached out to the company and they responded back right away!
We ended up working with Jim. When my then fiancé and I met with him, we felt confident we made the right choice from the beginning. WeMarryU is extremely professional, organized, and committed to help making your wedding day how you want it. There are so many options they have to offer to your liking to make your ceremony perfect.
Jim took the time to get to know us more as a couple well in advance before our wedding day. Jim also took the time to come to our rehearsal dinner two days prior to our wedding, and explained how the ceremony would go to for the rest of our wedding party. He was so patient with everyone, and answered any questions we had!
During the ceremony, you can expect an emotional and intimate service. Our guests gave us many compliments saying how well our ceremony was organized and orchestrated. Jim also speaks very well, which makes him great at his job!
We are so happy we chose WeMarryU for our big day. The only thing we regret is not getting the chance to take a picture with Jim after our day was over.
Please consider WeMarryU!

We have nothing but great things to say about Ed. During the ceremony he kept the crowd entertained. My mother and mother in law loved that we did a rose ceremony for them, it was a great touch suggested by Ed. We would 100% recommended Ed to anyone getting married!

Simply the best
I found We Marry U through The Knot search. We know a couple other vendors who own their businesses but when it came to an officiant we were in the dark. We didn't want to rope a friend into doing it so I contacted Ed at We Marry U. From the first meeting I knew he was the one we were going to book. It was so easy to talk to him, like we were old friends. Our wedding ceremony went off without a hitch and I truly believe it is because we hired the best officiant in the business.

Jim is amazing. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He goes above and beyond, his knowledge is endless and he makes you feel comfortable. We were stressed before we met Jim and he took away any anxieties we had about the ceremony. He made it personable walked us though the entire process.
WeMarryU's reply:

Absolutely Amazing!
Our experience with Jim was amazing! From the moment I spoke to Jim on the phone I knew that he was going to make our day perfect. After postponing our venue due to the pandemic, Jim helped us create a vow renewal ceremony that recreated our readings from the previous year and was so special to us since we were able to have all our family and friends there that could not attend the previous year. Jim helped us plan a ceremony that captured us as a couple. Jim is so friendly and has a one of a kind personality, that is truly unforgettable. He arrived well before the ceremony to go over everything with us and answer any last minute questions that we had. Jim has a captivating voice and his presence is outstanding. All of our guests were instantly captivated when he started speaking, and continues to rave about him. Many that attended our wedding said that our ceremony was by far the best that they have ever been to and that it was so unique to other wedding ceremony's that they have attended. If you are looking for someone to make your wedding day truly unique and special, I cannot recommend enough that you should book Jim. We cannot thank Jim enough for making our day truly special!
WeMarryU's reply:
Wow, Brittany, thank you SO much for the fabulous review. I love what I do and I'm so glad you loved it too. You may have had to delay your wedding due to the pandemic, but I think it was worth waiting for. It was a perfect day!

Right away when we met Ed, we knew that he was going to be perfect for our special day! Once we booked him, we had no doubt that we were in great hands and we could breathe a sigh of relief knowing that our ceremony would be just the way we envisioned. This was absolutely the case from start to finish. He is a true professional. He was such a pleasure to work with and he truly cares about making the ceremony exactly what the couple wants. We have already heard so many great comments about how impressed our families, bridal party and guests were about Ed. We are so thankful!!

Above & Beyond
My Wife & I got married on 10/9/21. With me being Catholic and her being Episcopalian, we weren’t sure which way we wanted to go with our ceremony. That’s when we just happened to stumble upon WeMarryU. And we couldn’t have gotten any luckier.
Before even hiring them, We were given a “meeting” (which we had to do over FaceTime since we live in NC but were having our wedding in NY) to make sure it would be a good fit for us.
Instantly, we clicked with Jim Manuel. He explained everything, from different ceremony options, to what we needed for wedding day, to even who he was and his history.
We were given readings to choose from, to help on how to write our own vows which was very important to us in our ceremony. Jim also from the moment we hired him, till the day of the wedding, kept in touch with both of us. Not only to make sure we had our license, but to see if we needed help with vows or to show us his draft of his speaking.
Having Jim as our officiant, not only made our day special, but he kept me at ease and helped me personally so much between getting through the rehearsal to even during the ceremony. Your not just getting a officiant, your getting so much more!
If if your looking for someone to marry you, WeMarryU is who you need to hire! I would recommend them 15/10 times!
WeMarryU's reply:
Thank you Austin. What a wonderful review - I really appreciate it. Your ceremony was beautiful and I love the unique unity ceremony we created for you!
