Amor Celebrant was a true professional to work with for any wedding ceremony. From the very first interaction, her communication style was both personable and prompt, which puts my clients at ease during the planning process. The quality of her work is truly unique and special - she takes the time to get to know the couple and crafts a personalized, detail-oriented ceremony that highlighted the modern touches couples often want while honoring traditional elements. Amor has assisted us with the rehearsal the day before weddings and helped out after the ceremony was over, going above and beyond to ensure my clients special day was seamless. We appreciated Amor's ability to listen my client’s needs and make the ceremony all about them, bringing their guests into the moment to fully experience the couple’s love. Her versatility and expertise made every wedding ceremony unforgettable.

Rev. Elle Sojourner is a Certified Life Cycle Celebrant™, Teacher, and Author. As the owner of Spirit Fire Life Ceremonies, she crafts rituals and ceremonies for regular folks with extraordinary souls. Although she is formally educated and trained, life, love, and experience have been her most profound masterclass. She helps others grow in love through weddings, funerals, and Soul Circles­™. Elle delights in life’s joys, including her son, turtle, and dog. And she keeps her cup full with nature, music, laughter, and dance.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have our April 2024 wedding officiated by Elle at spirit fire life. As we are an interfaith couple; we wanted someone who would not mind incorporating spiritual beliefs into our ceremony keeping this in mind. We reached out to Elle a couple months ahead of our wedding and she encouraged us to set up a zoom call with her to figure out if she would be the right fit for wedding day. Well, we were so impressed from the start on everything that she brought to our call that we immediately emailed her following our discovery call to book her services. Throughout the process, Elle was kind, collaborative, and extremely professional. She was patient with us getting information to her and provided great resources to help us throughout the wedding planning process that I quite frankly never thought about. She continued to be a guiding light throughout our planning process and suggested we meet to talk through my thoughts regarding our unity ceremony. On our call she so eloquently stated something along the lines of: “sometimes it’s easier to have someone else make a decision for you when you are making so many of them.” As a result, I am positive our unity ceremony was perfectly executed thanks to Elle. She brought this level of poise and professionalism to our wedding ceremony and made our day even more wonderful than I ever could have anticipated! We are so grateful that we were able to have Elle as a member of our wedding day team.

She presented us with a range of options for the different components of the ceremony, offering various translations and interpretations of traditional texts, and explaining the meaning and significance behind each ritual. She encouraged us to choose what resonated with us, and was respectful and accepting of all our decisions. Rabbi Lia made our ceremony personal and meaningful.

Jeremy’s process is intentionally thoughtful and collaborative. Each ceremony is custom-made through conversation, listening, and careful preparation, allowing couples to feel confident, calm, and fully present on their wedding day.

His speaking style was clear, warm, and natural - he is very comfortable in front of a crowd. He made the experience feel so meaningful, and it was clear he had taken the time to prepare and personalize the message. Several of the guests commented on what a great job he did.

Meet You at the Altar is about creating a ceremony that feels like you—thoughtful, personal, and grounded in what matters most. I work with couples who want more than a script, crafting ceremonies that reflect your relationship, values, and the life you’re building.

Everyone in attendance could get a sense of who they were and what they meant to each other, regardless of how involved you had been in their relationship before. It felt like the ceremony was in good hands, and Elliott was flexible with any small issues that arose from sound equipment or last-minute adjustments.

Marc and I have been deeply in love for years, and we truly feel like the luckiest people in the world. While we typically don't engage in official celebrations or rituals, a friend of ours recommended Father David after their own wonderful experience. We decided to reach out, and we couldn't be more grateful for that decision. As homebodies who aren't accustomed to throwing parties, we were a bit overwhelmed. However, having Father David by our side transformed our special day into something extraordinary. His joyful spirit and insightful guidance provided exactly what we needed to make our wedding unforgettable. We are thrilled to say that our wedding was absolutely splendid. Thank you, Father David, for being such a vital part of our celebration! It was one of the best decisions that we made. Lena

My Promise To You Personalizing your special day to fit your visions of making it official. Your unique love story is so important to how you got here and I'm here to help you tell that story. I hope to make the process of becoming one as smooth as possible for you and your partner.

When it comes to selecting a wedding officiant and relationship coach, there are few individuals as extraordinary as Christina. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear that she was not just an officiant but also a deeply compassionate, insightful, and genuinely invested coach who cared about the success of our marriage just as much as she cared about our special day. Christina went above and beyond in every aspect of the process, leaving us with an experience we will cherish forever. Christina’s involvement in our wedding planning process was nothing short of transformative. She took the time to truly get to know us as individuals and as a couple, listening intently to our story, values, and dreams for the future. Unlike other officiants who may simply focus on the ceremony, Christina provided us with a unique blend of guidance as both an officiant and relationship coach. She encouraged us to reflect on our relationship in meaningful ways, offering advice and tools to help us grow stronger as a couple. One standout moment was a personalized exercise Christina created just for us. It involved us answering questions about each other in separate sessions and at the end listening to how each of us answered the questions was such an intimate touch, and which she later wove into our ceremony. Not only was this an emotional and heartfelt experience, but it also deepened our connection and reminded us of the foundation of our love. On our wedding day, Christina was nothing short of magical. She brought a warmth and energy to the ceremony that resonated deeply with us and our guests. Her words were heartfelt and tailored to reflect our unique love story, weaving in anecdotes and insights that made the entire experience feel deeply personal. Christina’s delivery was flawless—her tone, pacing, and sincerity captivated everyone present. She struck the perfect balance between humor, emotion, and wisdom, making the ceremony both uplifting and unforgettable. Many of our guests commented afterward that it was one of the most beautiful and heartfelt ceremonies they had ever witnessed. What sets Christina apart is her commitment to ensuring that your relationship is as strong as your wedding day is beautiful. As a relationship coach, she provided us with invaluable advice and practical tools to carry into our marriage. One piece of advice she shared—about approaching challenges as a team rather than as individuals—has already helped us navigate life together with greater understanding and empathy. Her coaching sessions felt like talking to a trusted friend who genuinely wanted to see us succeed. Christina’s insights were profound, yet she delivered them in a way that was accessible and relatable. She left us feeling empowered and excited about our future together. Christina is more than just an officiant; she is a guide, a mentor, and a true advocate for love. Her ability to connect with people, craft unforgettable moments, and provide lasting wisdom is unmatched. She made our wedding day an extraordinary celebration of love and gave us the tools to build a strong and happy marriage. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day—and your relationship—special, Christina is the one. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

We initially weren’t sure if we wanted to hire an officiant, but after just one meeting with Beth, we immediately knew it was the right choice. Beth offers an incredible service and truly takes the time to get to know each couple, ensuring the ceremony feels completely personal and meaningful. Portia ended up being the perfect officiant for us. She delivered such a beautiful and heartfelt (and at times nerdy and hilarious!) ceremony that had many of our guests assuming she was a close friend or family member.

I’m the voice behind The Vow Studio, creating thoughtfully written, deeply personal wedding ceremonies designed around each couple’s story. I take the time to truly get to know you, your relationship, your dynamic, and what matters most, so your ceremony feels natural, meaningful, and completely your own. My goal is to create something that feels effortless, genuine, and reflective of who you are as a couple.

Abby officiated a wedding I attended recently, and it was genuinely one of the most beautiful and memorable ceremonies I’ve ever witnessed. What stood out most was how deeply personal and thoughtful everything felt. It was clear she spent significant time getting to know the couple — not just the basics of how they met, but the deeper layers of their relationship, their families, the moments that shaped them, and the future they hope to build together. Every part of the ceremony reflected that care and intention. Abby has this rare ability to be equally warm, funny, articulate, and commanding. She brought the entire audience into the couple’s love story in a way that felt emotional, engaging, and authentic rather than performative. There were moments everyone laughed, moments people teared up, and moments where you could feel the entire room completely locked in. One of the most touching parts was how beautifully she incorporated both families and spoke about the parents who raised the bride and groom into the people they are today. It added so much depth and heart to the ceremony. I’ve attended many weddings where the officiant fades into the background or feels like an afterthought, but Abby elevated the entire experience. She created a ceremony that felt deeply human, intentional, and unforgettable. Any couple would be incredibly lucky to have her officiate their wedding!

If Chris is available on your big day, look no further and just book him. We were so unsure of where to turn as we are not religious so we didn't have a preacher but also didn't have any family or friends we could visualize to do our ceremony, which so many people do now (Hire the pro!). I'm so so glad we found him! Chris is great because he does a great non-religious ceremony, under 30 minutes (what we wanted), and is so engaging, funny and easy to work with. Our guests loved our ceremony so much and wondered how we knew him (spoiler alert: we didn't know each other before we booked him for our wedding) because he made our ceremony so personal and told our beautiful love story so masterfully. After speaking with Chris my now husband and I both immediately wanted to move forward with him. After booking we got a somewhat long questionnaire, parts were for both of us to fill out together and we each had other parts that we filled out individually telling our version of our love story in our own words which made for a quite fun ceremony. While the questionnaire was long it was necessary to have the personalized ceremony we both wanted. We were able to meet with him in person when he was in Cincinnati, he also works in NYC, for another wedding and he is such a joy to be around. Once he was done with our ceremony he sent us a draft and we made a few small adjustments but it was PERFECT. Chris also ran our rehearsal and he did amazing organizing everyone and making sure that people knew what they needed to do. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect on our wedding day, he has great timing, he is funny, engaging and had about 75% of our guests crying by the end. The video of our ceremony gets me misty every time. Thank you again Chris!

I’ve known Kym for many years, and when the love of my life asked me to marry him, I knew there was only one person for the job! I called Kym right away, and even though I had run away to South Carolina, Kym was happy to take us on. She sent us a questionnaire to get an idea of what kind of ceremony we wanted, and to capture our love story. Kym offers so many different options both religious and non, and she worked so hard to create the perfect ceremony for us. As anyone planning a wedding knows, there is so much that goes into planning, and Kym made everything to do with the ceremony so easy! I’m not religious or traditional in any way, and Kym found us not only the perfect ring vows, but created the perfect ceremony to fit our theme and who we are individually as well as a couple. Kym even helps you if you want to write your own vows! Everyone is still talking about how gorgeous our ceremony was! Thank you Kym for everything, we love and appreciate all of your hard work so much. You helped us create memories that we will never forget! I wish I could give 50 stars for all of your hard work! You absolutely can’t go wrong with picking Fanciful Hearts for your wedding!

Modern. Soulful. Unforgettable. I custom-craft non-religious, Jewish, interfaith, and LGBTQ+ weddings that grab all the feels. Your love is one-of-a-kind — and your wedding ceremony should be, too. Blending tradition with a fresh perspective, honoring every story, and presenting warmth, heart, and just the right touch of humor, I strive to create customized wedding ceremonies as unique as you are. Whether you're planning a beach wedding, rooftop celebration, or backyard gathering, I’ll meet you there.

We had the absolute privilege of having Rabbi Astrachan officiate our wedding, and it’s hard to put into words how meaningful the experience was. From our very first conversation, he brought warmth, wisdom, and a genuine interest in getting to know us as individuals and as a couple. He took the time to understand our story, our values, and what we wanted our ceremony to feel like. The result was something deeply personal, thoughtful, and beautifully balanced between tradition and our own unique touches. So many of our guests told us it was one of the most moving and memorable ceremonies they’ve ever witnessed. His presence was calm and grounding, yet full of heart and even moments of humor that made everything feel natural and joyful. He guided us through the entire process with care and clarity, making what could have felt overwhelming actually feel meaningful and intentional. If you’re looking for an officiant who will truly honor your relationship and create a ceremony that feels authentic and unforgettable, we cannot recommend him highly enough.
