We do not just stand up at your Wedding Ceremony and Read a Script and sit back down. Every Officiant is trained to make sure that we do a Full Checklist before each event such as Making sure your DJ/Musician is Qued / We set your Photography and Video Teams up for the Perfect Photo Ops / and we make sure your Bridal Party and Couple know exactly what will occur for each step of the Ceremony Process. Our 500+ 5🌟 GOOGLE Reviews will Explain it all😉

At LI Officiant, we take the time to truly get to know you – your story, your vision, and the moments that have defined your relationship. This allows us to create a ceremony that feels deeply personal, meaningful, and perfectly reflective of who you are as a couple. You also have complete control over every word spoken, ensuring your ceremony is exactly as you envision it – heartfelt, joyful, or a perfect blend of both. 💖

“Michele was absolutely amazing!! She constructed the most beautiful ceremony for us & we are so grateful! It was like...” — Jennifer C., 1 year ago

I am the funniest wedding officiant in the country, but my goal is to be the best officiant in the country, to find that perfect balance of humor and dignity that makes a wedding ceremony an unforgettable event. My experience as an actor, a writer, an emcee and a spouse to a very smart wife have led me to be someone whom couples can trust. I've been married since 2002 (to the same woman), so I know about having a happy marriage. I can get along with your parents. I've done ceremonies all over the country and on TV. My home bases are NY/NJ and OH/KY, but I travel all around the US. My book Best Ceremony Ever is a great resource.

I’m all about making this process easy, stress-free, and, most importantly, fun. From helping you navigate NYC’s marriage laws to giving you a moment to breathe before you walk down the aisle, I’ve got you. I have also got all kinds of planning tools and trusted contacts at my fingertips to make the process a breeze for you. Whether you are eloping with just the two of you or celebrating with a small group of loved ones, I’ll craft a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and totally you. At the heart of it all, this is about you two. Your love, your story, your moment. And I’d be honored to be the one to make it official.

I will help ensure your ceremony reflects you, your love, and your values. Wedding ceremonies do not need to be religious (unless you want them to be!) and they certainly should not be stuffy or boring. Your ceremony can be personal, fun, unique, silly, and full of meaningful moments. Even if you don't know exactly what you want your ceremony to be, our conversations will inspire the creation process. And on the big day, I will reflect your love story to everyone in attendance at your wedding.

Your ceremony shouldn’t be an afterthought—it should be the moment everyone remembers. What sets me apart is how I make that happen. I write each ceremony from scratch based on your real story, your relationship, and your vision. I listen deeply, guide gently, and show up fully—not just to perform, but to connect. Couples often tell me they didn’t expect to laugh, cry, and hear their own journey told so beautifully. That’s the goal: a ceremony that doesn’t just mark the moment, but makes it unforgettable.
