Our wedding officiant, Chris from Illuminating Ceremonies, was simply amazing. From the moment we met him, his charismatic and relatable personality put us at ease. He had a captivating and likeable stage presence that kept our guests engaged and entertained throughout the ceremony. Chris was clearly committed and dedicated to making our special day as meaningful and memorable as possible. His effective and excellent execution of the ceremony alleviated any anxiety we had, and our guests are still raving about how incredible our officiant was, even 2 years later. We couldn't have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding.

Miri was the perfect wedding officiant for our special day. From the very beginning, Miri's communication style was prompt, thoughtful, and reassuring. She met with us several months before the wedding to learn about us and what we were looking for in our ceremony. Miri then crafted a personalized first draft with lots of wording options for us to choose from, and she carefully pieced together our thoughts to make the ceremony bespoke and meaningful. Miri's work was truly exceptional - she was caring, kind, creative, passionate, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. We loved the idea of including a peony watering as a symbol of our love, and Miri was so excited to incorporate that element, even selecting an amazing poem to accompany it. Additionally, Miri helped us with our vows and provided thoughtful suggestions - I felt so much more at ease reading my vows for all to hear because of Miri's feedback and support! Miri also met with us for the ceremony rehearsal, ensuring we felt prepared and confident for the big day. We are so grateful to Miri for making our wedding ceremony so memorable and special.

Rabbi Brent Chaim Spodek

Beacon, NY
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves New York

It’s not 1952 anymore - nobody is scandalized that people live together before marriage, and thankfully, nobody is getting married because single women don’t have economic agency. So what does it mean for a modern couple to get married? We often think in terms of things we won’t do: we won’t leave, we won’t stray. Those are minimum requirements, not aspirations. The question of marriage is what will you do when - inevitably - love feels distant, and you are hurt or disappointed? I work with couples of all faith backgrounds who are as serious about their marriage as they are about their wedding and are ready to address that question.

Working with Rabbi Brent was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. When we first met, we weren’t entirely sure what we wanted in an officiant — and as an interfaith couple, we weren’t even sure we wanted to be married by a rabbi. But from the start, he made us feel comfortable and supported. As he told us early on, working with him isn’t just an investment in your wedding — it’s an investment in your marriage. We genuinely looked forward to our sessions with him, and to the conversations he encouraged us to have between them. Writing a ketubah felt intimidating at first, but he made the process meaningful and surprisingly manageable. And when it came time to shape our ceremony, he was endlessly flexible, helping us think through which traditions felt true to us and which didn’t — always meeting us with thoughtful guidance and perspective. And then came our wedding day. Rabbi Brent was the vendor our guests talked about the most — he led a ceremony that was personal, heartfelt, and clearly rooted in the time he spent really getting to know us. His words reflected a real understanding of who we are and how we show up for each other. We wish there were more people out there who approach this work the way he does — blending meaningful pre-marital counseling with a beautiful, deeply considered ceremony — but the truth is he’s one in a million. We’re so grateful we found him.

Vanessa was absolutely outstanding and made our wedding day SO incredibly special and magical. We will forever cherish how seamless she made the whole process during the planning, rehearsal and the ceremony itself on the day of. Her communication was outstanding the entire time and she was extremely organized throughout the whole process. Vanessa met with us whenever we needed/ wanted, set up a wedding workshop with us, set up a Google doc for the script of the ceremony, answered text messages or phone calls in a very timely manner and made sure everything was perfectly planned out as we dreamed of. Vanessa was diligent, did not skip a beat and helped with every detail of our wedding ceremony. Vanessa helped coordinate with all of our vendors, including our DJ for the ceremony music, our photographer and our venue to make sure everything went exactly as planned. It was such a beautiful day and we could not be happier to have been married by Vanessa, who will now be our lifelong friend. Vanessa has a bubbly personality and is so caring. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to effectively share our love story with our friends and family. She put together our love story so beautifully and she was so attentive on the day of our wedding to both the bride and the groom. We 10/10 recommend Vanessa and CNY magical weddings to be your officiant, they will not disappoint and it is the moments with your officiant that you will never forget!!!

Words cannot describe how incredible or perfect our wedding was - especially our ceremony. It was truly tailored to us as a couple and encompassed our entire relationship. I am so grateful to Dani for taking the time to speak with us in the months leading up to the wedding and really learning about us as a couple. She incorporated our personal family traditions, and our quirks, into the most perfect ceremony. We had people come up to us after who believed Dani was our best friend or had known us for years!!

Terence Ward, the founder of Weddings in the Gunks, believes that everyone deserves to have this important moment in their story celebrated with a healthy mix of dignity and joy. Exactly what's in that mix is more up to the clients than anybody else. It can include sacred religious moments like blessing the couple or fasting their hands, science fiction elements like a Bajoran blessing, time-honored traditions such as breaking a glass, and remembering loved ones who are no longer with us.

Awarded Best of Zola
Terence is fabulous! My husband and I got married with a surprise elopement on New Year's Eve in 2021, and Terence acted with such professionalism and discretion (which was appreciated, hence the surprise). Planning/coordinating was easy - he was quick to communicate with/respond to us about details regarding the ceremony, which was wildly helpful, as we planned our elopement just 1 month in advance! My husband and I were very nervous before our ceremony, and Terence's warm, friendly demeanor helped us feel more comfortable and at ease. I would definitely recommend Terence's officiant services to other couples. Whether you're planning a traditional ceremony or a simple elopement, he'll do a great job for you!

We got married October 3rd 24 and struggled trying to find the right person to officiate our day until we came across Jackie and really cannot recommend her enough! From the moment we started chatting she was the utmost professional to every email, enquiry or worry we may have had she squashed easily. The communication was great from the off and I knew we made the right choice! We utilised the services of both Jackie and her husband the photographer Sascha Reinking with their All in One Package and it was the best decision we made for the day! She talked us through every process for the marriage license and met us for the appointment! Had recommendations on locations and great guidance on our vows and the ceremony which she performed so so beautifully! They took the weight and pressure off so much of the day and made it so easy. I implore everyone to reach out to her, and her husband Sascha, to discuss how they can make your day even more special. It truly worked for us and we met people who we loved being a part of our day!

Why Knot Wed is a wedding officiant service serving New York City and Long Island, creating heartfelt, personalized ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique love story. From joyful celebrations to intimate elopements, LGBTQ+ weddings, and vow renewals, every ceremony is thoughtfully written with warmth and intention. As your officiant, I help set a calm, welcoming tone so you and your guests can be fully present in the moment. Through personal conversations and custom writing, your ceremony is crafted around your journey, values, and promises—so it feels meaningful, authentic, and truly yours.

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!

NY Wedding Rabbi Lev Herrnson serves individuals and couples from Reform, Conservative and unaffiliated families. He has great sensitivity to the challenges of being Jewish in the modern world—because of his own Jewish journey and varied experiences--and therefore welcomes women and men from all walks of Jewish life. His philosophy reflects openness to innovation and respect for tradition. Rabbi Lev officiates at celebrations in the NY area and at destination locations.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Rabbi Lev officiate our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, warm, and engaging presence to lead us through such a meaningful day. From the very beginning, he took the time to really get to know us meeting with us multiple times over Zoom and then in person leading up to the wedding. He made us feel seen and understood, and he helped shape a ceremony that felt uniquely “us.” As someone who had recently converted to Judaism, I was especially grateful for how inclusive and welcoming Rabbi Lev was not just to me, but to my entire family, many of whom were unfamiliar with Jewish traditions. He struck the perfect balance between spirituality, tradition, and accessibility, explaining the different elements of the ceremony in a light and meaningful way. He brought humor, warmth, and wisdom, and truly made everyone feel a part of the moment. We’re still getting compliments from family and friends about how special the ceremony was and how memorable Rabbi Lev made it. Rabbi Lev has a gift for creating connection, and we are so grateful to have had him with us for multiple deeply personal and joyful occasions. Don’t think twice about having him be part of your special moments you will be in the very best hands.

Specializing in bilingual wedding officiation, we are dedicated to creating heartfelt and personalized ceremonies that beautifully honor the languages, cultures, and traditions that define your unique love story. Whether you're celebrating with a traditional ceremony, a modern exchange of vows, or incorporating meaningful cultural rituals, we ensure that every word resonates with both you and your guests.

We booked Jade as our officiant & MC for our wedding at Brooklyn Winery this summer and she did an amazing job! I love that she took some time to get to know both of us to write a custom speech for the ceremony and she was so helpful with our parents' speeches, the tea ceremony, and even reception games. She's also just a lovely person and so sweet!

April Showers Events

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!!!

Our 2008 marriage ceremony was the best I’ve ever attended (I may be biased). My partner and I created a humorous and meaningful service that fit us perfectly. I want to be able to do the same for you. I am a social worker who is good at highlighting relationships and connections. I’m an attentive listener, and I promise you won’t feel like you’re in a therapy session when we work together. Unless you totally love therapy, in which case, sure, I’ll use my therapist voice. Social workers aren’t usually associated with humor, but I assure you, I am hilarious. I'm also calm, organized, thoughtful & fun.

Josie officiated our wedding in August 2024 and we can’t recommend her enough! She was very personable from the first call, and the ceremony she wrote for us captured our personality and relationship perfectly - humorous, but with our relationship on full display. We had multiple people come up to us telling us it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve experienced! She also handled the paperwork side of things swiftly and easily. Look no further than Josie!

Rabbi Jill, the Rabbi/ Cantor of the historic Actors' Temple in Manhattan, has been joining loving couples of all faiths and genders for many years. It is a privilege for me to help you honor each other, to declare the love that joins you, and to share in the joy that your marriage brings to the world. Whether your wedding plans are big or small, traditional or contemporary, Rabbi Jill will help you create the perfect ceremony and make your wedding a truly beautiful, inspiring, spiritual, and joyous occasion. Jewish weddings and all interfaith ceremonies with co-officiant clergy, and as a sole officiant, are Rabbi Jill's specialty.

Rabbi Jill and the team at Cantor Weddings were absolutely wonderful to work with for our special day. From the very first conversation, they were informative, pleasant, and kind, guiding us through the process with care and expertise. The quality of their work was simply perfect - they seamlessly incorporated both Jewish and Chinese traditions into our ceremony, making it a truly unique and meaningful celebration. Rabbi Jill not only married us in her home, but also spoke to us with the warmth and wisdom of a marriage counsel.https://goodnewsplanet.com/goodnewsletter-may-everyone-have-peace-love-health-for-2025ivy-ma-paul-sladkus-wedding-ceremony-david-lynch-earth-day-4-22-25/
