About Ceremonies by Navid

Ceremonies by Navid

Your Officiant

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!

I speak English, French, Spanish, and Farsi, and I'm happy to incorporate any of them into your ceremony — whether that's a single line for a family member, a bilingual reading, or a fully bilingual script.

In three words: Creative, Positive, Thoughtful

    Cannot recommend Navid enough!

    With full trust in Navid, he met our every expectation as he shone as a public speaker, diligently took on preparation, and with very little guidance from us, prepared a heartfelt and personal speech in the style we requested. What I appreciated most about working with Navid was his self-sufficiency. In an otherwise stressful time where we were time-limited, he understood the assignment without needing our constant input, which is not often the case with wedding vendors. At our rehearsal, Navid took charge, used humor to diffuse stressful dynamics, asked important questions we had not even thought of, and even saved the wedding on the day-of by making sure our rings made it to the altar. I cannot recommend Navid enough!

Yes. I'm ordained through the American Marriage Ministries and hold lifetime registered officiant status with the NYC City Clerk, so your ceremony is fully legal in New York City and New York State. If you want to work with me out of NYS, let's chat and see what we can do!
My home base is NYC, and I officiate throughout New York State. If your wedding is out of state, reach out — I'm happy to discuss travel and whether I'm able to register in that state ahead of time.
Completely. Outside of the Essential package, every ceremony is written specifically for you, based on real conversations about your relationship, your story, and how you want the day to feel. Nothing is pulled from a template.
Yes. Whatever traditions matter to you — any culture, a blend of several, or none at all — I work to understand them and weave them into the ceremony itself. I have particular fluency with Persian traditions like the Sofreh Aghd.
Yes — I'm fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Farsi, and I'm happy to incorporate any of them into your ceremony, from a single line to a fully bilingual script.
That's exactly what the Essential package is for — a brief, no-frills meeting to make things official, with no custom script involved.
As soon as you know your date, ideally. Popular dates and busy seasons fill up, and packages that include a fully custom script need time for consultations and revisions. If your wedding is under 8 weeks away, I can still often help — a rush booking fee may apply.
It depends on your package — anywhere from one consultation call to two meetings plus rehearsal attendance. You'll always have a chance to review and revise your ceremony script before the big day (although I will always try to convince you to keep it a surprise!)
Rehearsal attendance is included in select packages, and available as an add-on for any tier.
Life happens, and wedding plans shift. Reach out as soon as you know, and I'll do everything I can to accommodate a new date.
Just reach out and say hello! Drop a note with a bit about you and your wedding date. From there, we'll set up a first conversation to talk through your vision and find the right package for you.
Absolutely. Many couples choose to have their legal paperwork handled separately, then celebrate with a ceremony that's fully about the moment itself, without having to worry about paperwork and license signing! I'll work with you to build a ceremony that reflects your relationship and story, exactly the way you'd want it, whether or not it's the legal event.
