“Alex at Officiant NYC was absolutely INCREDIBLE! We genuinely could not have imagined a more perfect person to officiate our wedding in New York City. From beginning to end, he made what was already the most important day of our lives into something even more magical than we could have dreamed. Alex has such an amazing personality and an infectious, positive energy that immediately puts you at ease. He is kind, thoughtful, passionate, genuine, and so incredibly personable. There wasn't a single moment where we felt stressed, rushed, pressured, or worried about what came next. He had EVERYTHING taken care of. We were able to simply be present, soak in every second, and enjoy the moment together. The ceremony itself was absolutely beautiful. Alex brought so much warmth, sincerity, and heart to every word. You could genuinely feel how much he loves what he does, and that passion shines through in the way he treats the couples he marries. It was intimate, meaningful, emotional, and everything we wanted our wedding to be. Officiant NYC's prices are the most reasonable i found. Communication was fantastic, emails, phone appointments, and a personalized questionnaire. They file your marriage license with the court and send you the tracking info in an email!! No extra travel fee for going into Manhattan, either! It's been two weeks since our wedding, and we're STILL riding the high of that day! We find ourselves looking back and smiling, wishing we could experience every second all over again. Officiant NYC played the biggest part of that, and we'll forever be grateful.”

“From our first conversation with NY Officiants, we knew we had found the right person to marry us. They were incredibly responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process, making sure we felt prepared and comfortable every step of the way. On our wedding day, Chris (our specific officiant) had our guests laughing during the ceremony and kept everything moving at just the right pace. What really impressed us was how they went beyond their job description—they helped coordinate timing between our vendors and made sure our day flowed perfectly. We felt like they genuinely cared about making our wedding special, not just checking boxes. We can't recommend NY Officiants highly enough!”

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. 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.

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!”

“Working with Jackie Reinking, the New York Elopement Officiant, was an absolute joy. Her communication throughout the process was timely, informative and reassuring. The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly second to none. Jackie helped keep my husband calm as he waited for me during our first look, and she also expertly managed the young passers-by who were eager to watch our ceremony. It felt like having a close friend officiate our wedding. Jackie wrote a beautiful ceremony tailored to us as a couple, incorporating readings we had chosen. The entire ceremony was so much fun and really special. Being from the UK, the process of securing our marriage license would have been overwhelming, but Jackie broke it down into simple steps and made the experience feel like an adventure. We are so grateful to Jackie for helping make our wedding day perfect in every way.”

She had an instant gravitating presence full of conviction, confidence, and passion. Her dedication to her clients is unmatched: she offered multiple follow-up meetings, rehearsals, and even connected with our families to learn more about us. The highlight was the beautiful love story she crafted for our ceremony, truly perfect. Choosing Ope was one of the best decisions we made. She was professional, welcoming, understanding, and radiated a commanding yet warm presence throughout. Her infectious spirit made the entire process a joy.

“We worked with Rachel for our Catskills wedding in summer 2026. We wanted a professional officiant who could seamlessly manage the ceremony end-to-end and handle any unexpected chaos so our loved ones could simply enjoy the day. Right at the start of our ceremony, a fast-moving thunderstorm forced us to move to our rain location. Rachel remained calm, patient, and adaptable throughout the shift, just as she was during the process of drafting and refining our ceremony script. We bounced many different ideas off of her when we were planning our ceremony, and she was very available, responsive, hopped on a Zoom call to talk through it live. We have two very young children and were anxious about how they would handle the ceremony. Rachel gave us great counsel on how to naturally incorporate them without any pressure. Sure enough, on the day of, one of our kids did not want to walk down the aisle while the other insisted on Dad holding him at the alter. Rachel handled the unpredictability with levity, light humor and grace. We even had close friends compliment and say how great our officiant was.”

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.”

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 was amazing from the moment we met her up until our wedding. She was super thorough & clear about how she went about getting to know us/ our story and she did a phenomenal job at our wedding. Our guests praised her & we got so many compliments on her delivery. I’ve been to a lot of wedding where the ceremony feels long winded and rehearsed & I was so nervous about my own wedding being that way, but Josie was the complete opposite, she was funny & sincere and did a great job at being a mixture of both and adding her own flare to the ceremony as well. I’d recommend her to anyone, thank you Josie!”

My now husband and I were very short on time with finding an officiant for our wedding. I sent out an SOS on a Facebook group I found and Christine promptly responded and sent me a message. After messaging back-and-forth on Facebook, we spoke on the phone the following day and I knew she was the right choice. We spoke for maybe 20/30 minutes. In that time we discussed how my husband and I met, our blended family, our dog, and the adventures we’ve had prior to our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, Christine arrived, took control of having our marriage license witnesses sign, and prepared for the ceremony while we took photos. The ceremony was beautiful! Christine’s words throughout our ceremony, could not have explained us, our kids and our love more perfectly. She even threw in a funny little remark about our crazy pup! She spoke as if she has known us for years. I highly recommend Christine to anyone who is searching for an officiant on Long Island! She is truly amazing!!!! Thank you so much, Christine for literally the perfect ceremony on our big day.”

“Sam was incredibly thoughtful and extra communicative! It never felt rushed working with her. Rather, she took her time to get to know my partner and I personally, the nuances of our love story, and helped us curate a version of our dream ceremony that was absolutely beautiful.

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.

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.

“Staci was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole process. Moses and I were nervous trying to find someone to marry us but in the end those nerves vanished after meeting Staci! We had a few meetings during the process so we felt prepared and confident about how our day would go. Drop the doubt! Book Staci!”

“From the moment we first spoke with Fabi, we knew she wasn’t just another wedding vendor—she was someone who truly cared about us and our story. She listened with so much heart, asked questions we’d never even thought about, and somehow turned all of that into a ceremony that felt perfect to our story. In the weeks leading up, she was our calm in the chaos—answering every question, even helping us with last minute vendor coordination when we had our florist and makeup artist suddenly cancel. She made sure we felt supported every step of the way. On the day itself, she showed up with this quiet confidence and warmth that made us both instantly relax. Standing there, listening to the script, we felt completely present—like the rest of the world had disappeared and it was just us. It was emotional, it was joyful, had the perfect notes of humor true to us and it was exactly what we had hoped for, only better. Our friends and family still talk about how beautiful and personal it was. Adirondack Ever After didn’t just officiate our wedding—she made it a moment we’ll carry in our hearts forever.”

“Michele was absolutely perfect for us. We wanted a ceremony that felt spiritual, intentional, and unique, and she brought that vision to life beautifully. From the sound bath, to blessing our rings with crystals and florals, to the handfasting, everything felt so special and meaningful. So many of our guests raved about her energy and how much they loved the ceremony. One of my favorite memories is making eye contact with her during the ceremony and seeing her smile at me such a small moment, but one I’ll always remember. We’re so grateful we found her and couldn’t recommend her more.”
