Sam Ties the Knot

Hi! I’m Samantha Freire, a NYC-based wedding officiant, planner, and emcee with 9+ years of experience and over 1000 weddings celebrated including 350+ weddings officiated. I specialize in vibrant, modern ceremonies that reflect your unique love story. Whether you’re eloping, hosting a big celebration, or renewing your vows, I’ll bring heart, humor, and joy to your day. I officiate all types of weddings—non-religious, interfaith, LGBTQIA+, themed, and bilingual (English/Spanish). My goal is to create a warm, personal ceremony that leaves you and your guests smiling.

I bring more than just words to your wedding—I bring presence, polish, and purpose. As a seasoned wedding planner and emcee, I understand the flow of an event, the rhythm of a room, and how to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes while keeping the spotlight on you. I’m not just reading a script—I’m setting the tone for your entire celebration. I also have a modern, story-driven approach to ceremony writing. I don’t just insert your names into a template. I take the time to learn your story, your humor, your quirks—and I weave that into a custom ceremony that feels heartfelt, personal, and totally one-of-a-kind.

In three words: Creative, Fun, Resourceful
