Born from my own real wedding day washed in rain, April Showers Events is built on one simple truth: when the unexpected occurs, the real magic happens. As a mother, daughter, wife and sister I know the importance of celebrating big moments. I also know the value of having reliable help to ensure that the party you've planned is also one that you get to enjoy. I am a storyteller at heart and find event coordination a most delightful medium - for all celebrations tell someone's story, be it the beginning, middle or end. My passion is discovering the best way to tell yours.

“Dana was by far the most helpful/standout of the wedding crew and we couldn’t have done it without her!! She had amazing energy from the start, and always found opportunities to step up and help out - for example: we had thought our dinner was a set menu but it turned out they were taking orders! Dana stepped in to ask every guest their order and coordinate with the service team. She took the time to connect with us, and truly celebrate with us/celebrate us! She was an integral part of making the day perfect and I cannot recommend her enough!!!”

Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

Not only was she professional, but also compassionate, personable, and helped us with our vows when we were both too overwhelmed to speak. She gave our guests a beautiful explanation of our love for each other, and included a “couple therapy-esque” meeting to get to know us before the wedding, and ended in me having happy tears expressing my love towards my husband during such a stressful time. She gets a 10 out of 10 from us! Make sure you book her for your upcoming wedding!”

“Dani from Once Upon A Vow was absolutely fantastic to work with on our wedding ceremony. We were having an elopement wedding from the UK to New York, Central Park so Dani’s communication was very important and she was excellent with sending us helpful and proactive emails in advance and throughout the process. We also had a helpful and fun video call to talk through our love story and relationship. Dani was really lovely, friendly, kind, inclusive, upbeat and fun! We felt so comfortable talking to her and knew she was going to be just perfect for officiating our special day. Our ceremony was at the peak of a heat wave in the middle of Central Park and Dani was so professional and read such a thoughtful, personal monologue about what is important to us and special about each other. It was beautiful! We had a lot of options and choices for the ceremony which made it feel really personal to us. We can’t thank Dani enough for such a wonderful start to our married life!”

I'm Jenn, NYC's only officiant who combines custom-written ceremonies with premarital coaching, so I can support you on your wedding day and in building the marriage that follows. I create personalized wedding ceremonies for couples throughout NYC, Long Island, The Hamptons, & New Jersey. Every ceremony is thoughtfully crafted around your unique story, relationship, and vision for your day. As the officiant, I'm the first person to welcome your guests and set the tone for the celebration. My goal is to create a warm, meaningful, & memorable ceremony that feels authentic to who you are & leaves a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.

“When our intended officiant was unavailable for our short-notice elopement in NYC, found Jenn on Thumbtack. She responded within a few minutes, & offered to chat that evening (at 10 p.m., no less!). I felt so comfortable with her after our conversation that I booked her immediately. Her professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm for what she does put me so at ease - a blessing when one suddenly has to pull off an impromptu wedding in NYC, while living in another state ... with 10 days notice. She checked in with me regularly to ensure everything was moving along well, which was reassuring (when you feel you're herding cats, it's great to have a German Shepherd reliably in the wings). She knows the marriage requirements in NY well, and was a helpful resource. The contract she sent over was transparent & clear re: terms, timing, expectations, etc. I was surprised when she sent a few questions to me and my fiancé, so that she could craft our vows; I hadn't expected that kind of personal, heartfelt interest in our marriage ceremony. She then delivered to us her draft of our vows, in the event we had any edits for her (absolutely none). We met in-person for the first time at the clock in Grand Central - she arrived early (we arrived within the 15-min. grace period) and met up with our photographer. One presumes that a wedding officiant one selects online will be purely transactional - fill out the forms, say the words, sign the paper, thank you, goodbye. I hadn't expected the sudden emotion of speaking our vows, even just alone in the middle of Grand Central on the busy afternoon before Thanksgiving. Jenn was so on top of everything - selecting, with our photographer, the perfect spot for our ceremony, in the Grand Hall; handling the little things one might not have thought about (where do I set down my wrap/purse/bouquet, while I say my vows?) ... She was so warm and had made such effort to learn about us in a short period of time. I was so focused on my fiancé and on her during the ceremony that I didn't even notice the crowd of people who'd surrounded us during our vows (until we kissed, and they cheered). I'm so glad that she was the person to marry us. She enabled me to relax and let the joy of it all to happen, without worrying about a thing. I'm calling it the, 'Jenn Vows Bubble' - even amidst hundreds of strangers, it felt as though our wedding was taking place in a private little space with just Jenn, me and my (now) husband. I could not recommend Jenn more highly as an officiant!”

I’ll be there to steady your nerves, share a laugh, and remind you to soak it all in. Because your love story is one-of-a-kind, and your ceremony should be too.

“Researching our honeymoon destination, we stumbled across photos on the web taken by Jackie’s husband, Sascha, which led us to Jackie. So inspired were we by TeamReinking, we decided to put our complete trust in them and elope from Australia to NYC. We had literally just booked our wedding in Australia. Jackie was so easy to work with and we connected with her via emails and then the moment we met in person (literally just before our ceremony). Jackie helped us create the most beautiful ceremony in April 2023 at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, NYC. A special moment in time filled with shared promises, love, laughter and quite a few tears. It was an emotional day for us that had been 12 years in the making. Jackie is simply a delight and it was easy for us to just be ourselves in that moment. My husband is still talking about our beautiful ceremony with Jackie by our side. I think he’s your number 1 fan, Jackie!!! Our photos (taken by Sascha) are beyond stunning and the memories of our day and ceremony we will cherish forever. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Tick this one off your list, celebrant and photographer sorted!! I’d give a 6 star rating if I could!! Ps I think my husband is already planning for us to renew our vows in the future with TeamReinking!!”

Hi, I’m Staci, the heart behind Marley Loves Drew. I believe wedding ceremonies should feel personal, meaningful, and truly reflective of the couple standing in front of me. With a background in nonprofit leadership and volunteer engagement across New York, I’ve spent my career helping people connect with what matters most—and weddings are one of life’s most beautiful moments to do exactly that. Whether your ceremony is intimate or lively, spiritual or non-religious, I work closely with couples to craft a ceremony that feels natural, heartfelt, and memorable for everyone present.

“My wife and I had planned on rushing down to City Hall to "just get it done!" Our marriage license expiration date was coming up, and we didn't want to have to go through the whole rigmarole with the county clerk and all of that again. So our wedding was unfortunately going to be boring, basic, and look as closely to a non-event as possible. But then we found Staci. Much to our surprise, not only did we find someone to officiate our wedding--something she did with an unparalleled combination of humor, and grace, but she took on the mantle of wedding planner that we so very badly needed. In a matter of days Staci helped give me and my wife the wedding that we didn't even know we'd always dreamed of! You cannot possibly go wrong by having her help you with yours.”

Based on meeting you, talking to you, and the special questionnaire, he will offer you a totally unique ceremony designed just for the two of you.

“We cannot recommend Reverend Ron highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding officiant in Central Park! From the moment we met him, he struck us as warm, charismatic, classy, and incredibly personable. What impressed us most was his ability to take the information and stories we shared with him and turn them into a ceremony that felt so personal and genuine. He captured our personalities and relationship beautifully, incorporating the details we had provided in a way that made it feel as though he had known us for years. That is such a special gift, and it made our ceremony all the more meaningful. Reverend Ron was also the picture of professionalism and elegance. He arrived impeccably dressed and perfectly groomed, and his confident, engaging presence was a wonderful fit for our Central Park wedding. He has a natural charisma and warmth that put us at ease while still bringing a sense of occasion and class to the ceremony. What made the experience even more special was that his thoughtfulness extended well beyond our wedding. He generously took the time to share restaurant recommendations and suggestions for things to see and do while we were in New York. It was such a kind personal touch and a reflection of how much he genuinely cares about the couples he works with. Our wedding day was incredibly special, and Reverend Ron played a meaningful part in making it that way. If you are planning a wedding in Central Park and want someone who combines professionalism, elegance, charisma, and the ability to make your ceremony feel uniquely yours, look no further. We would recommend him without hesitation! Thank you, Reverend Ron, for helping make the start of our next chapter so memorable.”

Hi, I'm Navid! I officiate weddings throughout NYC and NYS, crafting ceremonies that sound like you — your relationship, your humor, the story that brought you here. I take the time to really get to know each couple I work with, because your ceremony should never feel like it was pulled off a shelf. Whatever traditions matter to you — any culture, a blend, or none at all — I love weaving them into the ceremony itself. My goal is to set the scene that celebrate your love. I hope we get to work together!

“Navid is such a thoughtful and genuine person and we have always loved how much care he puts into everything he creates. We've gotten to see his creative side through both Farsi and English, and it's clear how passionate he is about telling meaningful stories and bringing people's personalities to life. Navid is also incredibly easy to talk to and someone you can completely trust to take care of the details. We're so excited to see him bring all of that to weddings! Planning a wedding needs someone you can fully rely on, and Navid’s warmth, attention to detail, and dedication will make any couple's big day absolutely seamless and unforgettable”

Ever been to a wedding and found the ceremony to be boring or it just felt like the Officiant didn't know the couple? We created our company with one goal in mind; to ensure your Wedding Ceremony is fun, memorable and funny. It is YOUR big day after all. So let's make sure the ceremony reflects why you are! We specialize in creating personalized, funny and memorable ceremonies that reflect the journey the couple has taken together. We meet with you several times before your ceremony. We will design your ceremony from start to finish and provide you with a minute by minute timeline of what will happen that day.

“My husband and I first met Jason and his amazing wife Romney while attending a wedding vendors event in Long Island in 2023. We immediately hit it off with them and knew right away that Jason was the perfect choice to officiate our October 2024 ceremony. Through many ups and downs, including changing our venue twice and ultimately deciding on a simple ceremony, Jason was a constant source of support. He provided not only practical advice but also much-needed counseling and laughter during a time when we were struggling. His kindness and lightheartedness made the entire process smoother. This past Tuesday, Jason officiated our small, intimate ceremony surrounded by our loved ones. The day was filled with joy and laughter, and Jason played a huge part in making it truly special. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as part of our journey, and we cannot thank him enough for being such an important part of our big day!”
