Wedding Officiant | Celebrations By Shelby

Our wedding day!

Shelby was the perfect addition to our special day. She is professional, kind and caring. She made sure our ceremony was everything we hoped for and even more!

Shelby was an amazing officiant for our small Central Park wedding! She has such a calming and warm vibe, and made us feel totally comfortable both during the prep and the actual event. She offered plenty of thoughtful options for the ceremony script, and made it easy to incorporate a few personal elements as well. Just a lovely experience from end to end!

Shelby was the officiant for the ceremony my wife and I had for our wedding. Initial Impression: Communication is quick and professional. Transparency on pricing and invoicing was clear from the get-go. The script: Shelby provided the perfect balance between providing guidance and incorporating our feedback to make the script perfect. Leading up to the big day: Even with last minute updates to finalizing our ceremony, everything we hoped for was able to be incorporated. Day of: Shelby arrived a bit early (despite making her way to North Jersey through a bit of traffic!) and was the perfect officiant. Friendly, warm, and professional feelings all around. Afterwards: Confirmation that marriage license was filed was provided quickly. All in all, I'd highly recommend Celebrations by Shelby to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding.

Shelby was friendly and attentive to everything we wanted. Her calm and reassuring presence helped us feel relaxed and truly enjoy the moment without any stress. She made sure the ceremony was exactly how we had envisioned it. Grateful for her warmth and professionalism!

I’m so glad we hired Shelby as our wedding officiant! She met with us in advance to get a sense of us as a couple and what we wanted from the ceremony, shared a ceremony script before to get our feedback (e.g. poem options), and gave me feedback on my vows that I shared with her just a day before the ceremony. She was super flexible with our last-minute elopement, even finding room in her schedule to move us a day earlier when we realized that would work better for us. The ceremony itself was poignant and exactly what we could have hoped for. I definitely recommend Shelby to anyone getting married in New York.
