Words cannot describe how incredible or perfect our wedding was - especially our ceremony. It was truly tailored to us as a couple and encompassed our entire relationship. I am so grateful to Dani for taking the time to speak with us in the months leading up to the wedding and really learning about us as a couple. She incorporated our personal family traditions, and our quirks, into the most perfect ceremony. We had people come up to us after who believed Dani was our best friend or had known us for years!! That's how good she is. Dani never felt like a stranger, she always felt like family. We could not be happier with how our ceremony went. Thank you again!!!

Pura Vida Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Bronx, NY
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $250

I'm a bilingual (Spanish) Unity minister with over 25 years of experience creating heartfelt and personalized wedding ceremonies. During a free consultation, we can discuss your preferences, answer any questions, and see if I'm the right fit to guide you on this special journey.

From the first moment Juan Enrique called me, he was incredibly attentive and committed to us, taking the time to connect with us and personalize the ceremony according to our stories, wishes, and values. His manner of speaking is warm, authentic, and deeply emotional, which made our ceremony a unique and unforgettable moment. What impressed us most was when he officially introduced us as husband and wife… my husband said, “I loved everything, but even more so when he said, ‘You are officially married,’ like screaming, with such passion, that impacted me even more. I wanted to cry.” The way Juan managed to convey the true meaning of love, commitment, and unity, touching the hearts of everyone present was impressive. Without a doubt, his participation was fundamental in making our day even more special than it already was. It worth every penny! If you are looking for an officiant who will not only conduct the ceremony, but will also make it vibrate with emotion and meaning, not only for the bride and groom, but for everyone present… don’t hesitate to choose him. You won’t regret it! With much love and gratitude, Yami Glez & Jonathan Adum

Hey, Are you about to celebrate something extraordinary in your life? Look no further than me to officiate your wedding ceremony. I am not just a Wedding Officiant; I am what you call a Master Celebrant. It is a more extensive term that shows my dedication to my craft, creating custom ceremonies for each couple. Hiring me will ensure I will help you create your whole ceremony with you from start to finish. As your "Third Wheel Specialist," I work with you to show off your unique love story. I'm here to make that moment you never want to forget memorable. Life is about exploring and embracing all this world has. Let me help tell your story.

It has been a longtime dream of mine ever since I saw Gossip Girl to have a iconic moment in NYC. With me going absolutely crazy with my best friend and fiancé in SoHo, Tribeca and all of the spots. I thought it would always be cool to get married in the winter but I decided I am more of a spring girly. So my fiancé suggested we do elopement when we go to NYC in May for our 4 anniversary. I that that was a wonderful idea, but I wanted a big fancy wedding. He said we can do both because he knew the wedding was going to be really expensive. So I did some research and that's how I found Crafting Soulful Stories. Charles was so warm and funny and gelled with my fiancé and I Zack. I knew he would be the perfect officiant for my big day. He helped planned the ceremony to absolute perfection. Also him and Zack surprised me with both of our parents to come to our ceremony. Charles made sure to included some inside jokes and many touching remarks about Zack's and I's story. I stress that everyone that lives in New York or visiting the city and getting married that Charles should be your officiant. He has such a way with words, and he made me cry. He is the best, so I absolutely recommend Crafting Soulful Stories. P.S. Zack is not slick he is still going to give me my Big Gay Wedding in 2025.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Chris!! He came super highly recommended by our planner so we felt lucky to be able to book him for our date. From the first meeting, Chris was engaging and fun, yet professional and had a clear process that he explained to us. That process, included questions that dove deep into our relationship and love story and was extremely fun for us to complete. As I look back, his process feels like a super special part of the planning process. Then came wedding day…. Chris was phenomenal!!! The ceremony was so fun and exactly our vibe. He involved our guests the perfect amount and the ceremony felt so special and exactly what we wanted. Multiple guests raved about him, but beyond that, told me they got a chance to talk with him afterwards which I thought was so special that he stayed and engaged with guests. I would rate him more than five stars if I could, book Chris Shelley!!!

We had a small wedding with our children and close family. My wife’s favorite city is NYC. Jackie was incredibly helpful with recommendations for flowers, makeup and places to eat. We wrote our own vows and Jackie wrote a perfect ceremony incorporating a poem my wife sent me early in our relationship. It was a beautiful day made even more special by Jackie and Sascha. We feel so lucky to have found the Reinkings.

Why Knot Wed is a wedding officiant service serving New York City and Long Island, creating heartfelt, personalized ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique love story. From joyful celebrations to intimate elopements, LGBTQ+ weddings, and vow renewals, every ceremony is thoughtfully written with warmth and intention. As your officiant, I help set a calm, welcoming tone so you and your guests can be fully present in the moment. Through personal conversations and custom writing, your ceremony is crafted around your journey, values, and promises—so it feels meaningful, authentic, and truly yours.

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!

Hey, I’m Tiara — your modern, non- denominational officiant known for vibrantly authentic ceremonies rooted in heart, humor, and soulful storytelling. I don’t just officiate, I lead. Through story-led ceremony design and a mic-drop delivery, I bring your guests into your love story in a way that feels effortless, elevated, and entirely yours.

One of the best services I've ever hired (and best for this industry!) Tiara is such a wonderful professional that really changed my opinions on such services. Her lavish hospitality for her Royal Treatment will make you feel like you're truly Royalty! (Granted you are of your own life, but this service is top tier!) I was skeptical at first and adding another cost on a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but I truly felt Royal Treatment with Tiara was worth every penny and more! She took us through a process where she really got to know us as a couple, as individuals, and listened attentively to the details of our wedding vision. We could tell right away that she actually cared and was thankful to be chosen by us and to work together. And as she went through her process... we went through some of our favorite moments, and in some ways, fell in love with our love all over again. During wedding planning that love is surely there as we all know, but Tiara has a gift of bringing us back to the best of us and really getting you into those loving positive feelings. It was really cool! Then with the ceremony and planning phases, Tiara was so knowledgable and resourceful. She really could pick up what we were putting down, having a traditional ceremony with a more spiritual feel. She was also versed in all the religious traditions in our area which was really cool; knowledgable and reliable. She knew what we wanted, which made it easier to plan and talk through as we refined it to our exact wishes. Tiara responded quickly, in detail, and helped resolve any small things we asked her help with. She had a wonderful schedule for us to check in and follow through with that made our day of seamless. Our event coordinators and on site coordinators gave very favorable remarks and loved working with her too. The Royal Treatment was easy to work with other vendors. All with a smile and genuine pleasant attitude. Tiara is a wonderful soul and my wife and I truly am so grateful to her and her services. We weren't quite sure what to expect and thought it would be a pre-scripted thing and "oh this money for that", but once we experienced her as a vendor, we may go as far to say she undercharges! Because it was that meaningful, impactful, and such a joy. My wedding day was the happiest moment of my life and it's partly due to how great the Royal Treatment with Tiara is! We we're not disappointed and 100% would recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant. If you're reading this from another part of the world, I would also recommend flying her out; you're day will be so special if you do and you won't regret it one bit! Thank you so much Tiara, and Royal Treatment for witnessing us Tie Our Knot! May everyone who needs you, find you, and get to lavish in your wonderful experience!

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!

Ever been to a wedding and found the ceremony to be boring or it just felt like the Officiant didn't know the couple? We created our company with one goal in mind; to ensure your Wedding Ceremony is fun, memorable and funny. It is YOUR big day after all. So let's make sure the ceremony reflects why you are! We specialize in creating personalized, funny and memorable ceremonies that reflect the journey the couple has taken together. We meet with you several times before your ceremony. We will design your ceremony from start to finish and provide you with a minute by minute timeline of what will happen that day.

My husband and I first met Jason and his amazing wife Romney while attending a wedding vendors event in Long Island in 2023. We immediately hit it off with them and knew right away that Jason was the perfect choice to officiate our October 2024 ceremony. Through many ups and downs, including changing our venue twice and ultimately deciding on a simple ceremony, Jason was a constant source of support. He provided not only practical advice but also much-needed counseling and laughter during a time when we were struggling. His kindness and lightheartedness made the entire process smoother. This past Tuesday, Jason officiated our small, intimate ceremony surrounded by our loved ones. The day was filled with joy and laughter, and Jason played a huge part in making it truly special. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as part of our journey, and we cannot thank him enough for being such an important part of our big day!

Born from my own real wedding day washed in rain, April Showers Events is built on one simple truth: when the unexpected occurs, the real magic happens. As a mother, daughter, wife and sister I know the importance of celebrating big moments. I also know the value of having reliable help to ensure that the party you've planned is also one that you get to enjoy. I am a storyteller at heart and find event coordination a most delightful medium - for all celebrations tell someone's story, be it the beginning, middle or end. My passion is discovering the best way to tell yours.

Dana became our wedding coordinator last minute after we had a negative experience with another coordinator, and we couldn't be happier that we ended up with her! She got to work right away catching up on all the details quickly and had such a positive attitude the entire process despite the last minute rush. We had a huge wedding party, and Dana was able to help us through the challenge of rehearsing the ceremony with them when our venue wasn't available the night prior, and made sure everyone was where they need to be the day of. She was the perfect mix of professional, positive and bubbly to make sure that everything went smoothly but also didn't feel stressful! She was always available when we needed her and she went above and beyond when working with our vendors to ensure all dots were connected. We loved working with Dana and couldn't recommend her more to make your day seamless and stress free. She is the best, and we consider her a friend after working with her!

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. With a background in nonprofit leadership and volunteer engagement across New York, I’ve spent my career helping people connect with what matters most—and weddings are one of life’s most beautiful moments to do exactly that. 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.

My wife and I had planned on rushing down to City Hall to "just get it done!" Our marriage license expiration date was coming up, and we didn't want to have to go through the whole rigmarole with the county clerk and all of that again. So our wedding was unfortunately going to be boring, basic, and look as closely to a non-event as possible. But then we found Staci. Much to our surprise, not only did we find someone to officiate our wedding--something she did with an unparalleled combination of humor, and grace, but she took on the mantle of wedding planner that we so very badly needed. In a matter of days Staci helped give me and my wife the wedding that we didn't even know we'd always dreamed of! You cannot possibly go wrong by having her help you with yours.

I figure if you are here reading this, you are busy with a thousand things, planning your wedding. Certainly one of the most important decisions will be to choose the person who will be your officiant--who will perform your ceremony? My wife and I had the honor and pleasure of working with Barbara Ann Michaels (Jester of the Peace) this year. We were married in July and decided upon Barbara after looking at many other options. A friend recommended her services. And WOW! I am so glad we had Barbara! I could list so many accolades: But most important to me was that she immediately bonded with us. We met once in person and then we regularly did our planning via Zoom. She helped us design a wedding ceremony that fit our personalities and style. She supported us through the whole process, being available for questions and tweaks to the planned service. It was to be OUR wedding! The wedding day itself was fabulous! Even before the service, she was there for us, with calming presence. The service itself, by design, allowed for some surprises and lots of spontaneity. We told our love story through a unique interview style. It was filled with joy and laughter along with the desired quiet solemn moments. My wife and I love that we had Barbara as our wedding officiant. She is totally professional and will meet all your wedding service needs! Choose her!

Peter was incredible! He was so professional and knowledgeable from the moment we met him. After we got off the first phone call, we canceled all of our other officiant interviews because we knew Peter was our guy. Peter was responsible, on time, and empathetic to our every need. We are so grateful he was a part of our special day. We highly recommend Peter as your wedding officiant, you will be happy you chose him :)

No two couples are the same, and I believe your ceremony should reflect that. Whether you’re planning a small elopement, a city celebration, or something entirely unconventional, I work with you to design a ceremony that feels authentic and true to who you are. My approach is collaborative, detail-oriented, and grounded in listening. I take the time to learn your story—how you met, what makes your relationship unique, and what matters most on your wedding day. From there, I create a ceremony that feels natural, memorable, and meaningful.

Tanya brought such positive energy to our special day. She led our on-location wedding ceremony with heart, humor, and care. Her presence made everything feel easy and joyful. She made the moment feel personal, meaningful, and fun for both me and my wife. Highly recommend!

I’m excited for you, and I hope if you're planning a Long Island or New York City wedding, that I can be a part of your very special day. I like to describe myself as a somewhat old-fashioned, minister – someone warm, helpful, caring, and professional. Not somebody weird. I usually meet with you to get acquainted and develop important chemistry – and to discuss all the details so that we avoid any unpleasant wedding day surprises! The content and style of your ceremony is shaped by who you are and what you want. We discuss all the details so you know what to expect, and I know what to do. It's your day. Let’s make it great!

Pastor Bill was an excellent officiant at our wedding, and we are so happy we asked him to officiate our ceremony. Soon after contacting him, he asked us to sit down for a video call so we could get to know each other. After learning a bit about his background, his outlook on religion and spirituality, and his general style as an officiant, we thought he was a great fit for us. Once we agreed to have him as our officiant, Bill gave us an overview of a sample ceremony with many options ranging from very religious to very casual, including options for personal vows and cultural traditions. He was totally willing to help us craft a ceremony that felt authentic to us, and provided very helpful feedback and advice on our draft until it was perfect. On the wedding day, Bill arrived at the venue with time to spare. He was well versed in the process of signing the marriage license and walked us through it. At the ceremony, he spoke loudly, clearly, and with a warm expression. And he stayed for the cocktail hour and spoke with some of our guests, who all told us they enjoyed his conversation. Many thanks again to Pastor Bill, and we hope this serves as our highest endorsement!
