Awarded Best of Zola
Matt did the most amazing job with our wedding ceremony. It was fun, engaging, and heartfelt—which was exactly what we wanted—and it set the tone for the rest of our day perfectly. The process with Matt was professional and organized, while also being incredibly enjoyable. He met with us well in advance to talk about what we wanted and got to know us as a couple. He then showed us a draft and did a great job of incorporating the small amount of feedback we had. It’s been several years since our wedding, yet family and friends still regularly (and unprompted) bring up our ceremony, saying that it was one of the best they’ve ever been to. Matt was the first person we hired for our wedding, and was definitely one of the best decisions we made. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable day that feels personal and unique to you.

David was a wonderful choice to have to officiate our wedding! He made the process super streamlined and fun, he also makes sure that everything is in order and double checks throughout the whole process with you to make sure you didn’t change your mind or have a roadblock. He’s also very good at improv for when any situations arise, there was a couple of goofy moments during the ceremony that he was able to improv with, and it made the whole wedding even more special! If you’re looking for an officiant for your wedding, please pick David!

Lauri was fantastic to work with and we are so grateful we found her. She was a caring a nurturing presence throughout, was very receptive to our requested changes as we planned the ceremony script, and was clearly motivated by doing what would be right for us. She met with me and my fiance about four times during our wedding planning process to get to know us and modify our ceremony plan/script to what spoke most to us most as a couple. She was knowledgable about a variety of cultural traditions and helped us incorporate the Irish Hand Fasting Blessing into our ceremony, providing us with an everlasting, unique memory and memento (the handfasting chord) of our promises to each other. We received several compliments from our wedding guests about Lauri's ease and professionalism while she officiated our wedding. We highly recommend her! - Tess, May 2025 Bride, Bill Miller's Castle

Rabbi Brent Chaim Spodek 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Winsted, CT

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.

Rabbi Brent delivered everything we had hoped for (and more!) in a counselor and wedding officiant! Unlike many wedding officiants, Rabbi Brent emphasizes the importance of focusing on the marriage, rather than just the wedding. Rabbi Brent was thoughtful, warm, and insightful, taking the time to blend both of our cultures (Jewish & Indian) with great knowledge and depth, During our relationship counseling sessions, Rabbi Brent provided tools and exercises for us to think deeply about the marriage we were committing to and the type of challenges we may face. We're SO GRATEFUL to have had such a wise and loving guide as we took this important step in our relationship. Finally, we were touched by how many of our guests found the ceremony to be informative, engaging, and hearfelt due to really feeling Rabbi Brent's interest in this work and in us as a couple. We received MANY (unsolicited) compliments about the relatability of both Rabbi Brent and the ceremony itself. We wholeheartedly recommend working with Rabbi Brent to any couples who want to build a strong foundation for their marriage!

Clergy for modern couples who want a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and emotionally unforgettable. As an ordained interfaith minister, holistic somatic practitioner, I bring a unique blend of ceremony, emotional presence, spiritual inclusivity, and calming support to your wedding day. I serve couples who may not want a traditional religious ceremony, but still want the moment to feel sacred, intentional, warm and deeply connected. I create ceremonies that honor your love story, your values, your energy, and the emotional experience you want to share with your guests. My approach is modern, inclusive, heartfelt, and grounded.

Reverend Julie is a truly amazing wedding officiant and will provide you with the sweetest service and insightful guidance in building a ceremony to last you forever. We were traveling across country to our wedding location, so all of our planning time with Julie was done remotely over phone or video call - and she was always so accommodating and helpful in this process. As a largely secular couple, we didn’t have a lot of presumptions or direction for what our wedding ceremony could or should be - and Julie was an excellent guide and gave great structure to helping us find our way in that space. She made excellent and insightful suggestions about what we may want to include or subjects she would speak to - and in the end she provided us with the most amazing ceremony, catered exactly to our own needs and personalities and we are so grateful for having chosen Julie to do this service for us. We will never forget it. We highly, highly recommend Reverend Julie for any service, to celebrate a special day in your love or life.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our big day! From start to finish, Jess was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She took the time to really get to know us, and it showed in every word of the ceremony. It was personal, heartfelt, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of humor to keep everyone smiling. One of the things that made the ceremony even more special was that she’s bilingual. She incorporated both languages, making sure all of our guests felt included and connected. It meant so much to us and our families, and added such a beautiful touch to the ceremony.

From day one, she was honest, on time, and professional with us through the entire planning process. Nivea guided us through each step of creating our ceremony and made sure everything felt right for our big day. On our wedding morning, she went above and beyond by helping our photographer find the best angles for our shots. Our guests loved her warmth and kindness, and she made everyone feel welcome.

  • Offers 8 ceremony types

  • Serves Winsted, CT for additional fees

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div. is a pastor, marriage counselor and best-selling author on relationships. Lawrence specializes in marriage counseling and one-on-one spiritual advisory. He approaches his guidance in a biblically based, structured, relatable, and systematic manner, with clear owned outcomes and next steps. Lawrence will guide you through the wedding planning process with warmth, intentionality and clarity. Lawrence offers a wide array of services to guide you through your wedding and beyond. He provides both wedding officiating services and vow renewals, as well as pre-marital counseling and ongoing marriage counseling.

My husband and I worked with Pastor Lawrence for a year of faith-based pre-marital counseling and had an amazing experience. We, like many couples, went into our first session thinking we’d already discussed the most important topics and we’d maybe need to do 3 formal pre-marital counseling sessions. Our first session was so impactful that we immediately decided that we wanted a full year of counseling. That decision, we believe, completely changed the trajectory of our marriage. Pastor Lawrence asked difficult, thought-provoking questions that helped us see our relationship (with each other and with God) in new ways, and each session left us feeling better equipped for marriage than we ever expected. His depth of knowledge, approachability, and ability to guide meaningful, relevant conversations aimed at aligning us as one—even when we thought we had nothing new to discuss—was truly a gift. We are so grateful for the wisdom and encouragement he poured into us throughout this process and would highly recommend him to any couple who is looking to build a strong, Christ-centered foundation going into their marriage.
