From the moment we first spoke with Chris from Illuminating Ceremonies, we knew we were in good hands. His communication style was positive, funny, and caring, putting us at ease right away. On the day of our wedding, Chris was reliable, thoughtful, and enthusiastic, ensuring the ceremony was clear and professional. He made us laugh and feel completely comfortable, and we truly felt like he was part of our family rather than just the officiant. Chris went above and beyond to make our special day perfect, and we are so grateful we chose him to be a part of our wedding. We couldn't imagine our experience without him.

We cannot recommend Miriam highly enough! She was kind and caring, professional, and extremely good at her job, for a very decent price. She helped our wedding go so smoothly and we are so incredibly grateful she was part of our special day! Our photographer heard we were looking for an officiant for our wedding, and passed along Miriam’s information. From the moment we connected with her, we felt her warm and friendly energy and felt totally at ease about planning our wedding ceremony! Before we met Miriam, we were not really sure what we wanted our wedding to be, but we did know we wanted it to be written by us, and as a queer couple we did not want a “traditional” wedding. It started off feeling overwhelming with so many details to plan overall, but as soon as we met with Miriam, we felt completely at ease and even excited about the process! We threw out some ideas that wove in our New Age/paganistic spiritual beliefs, and Miriam reached out to her pagan priestess friend and did a deep dive researching for our ceremony and coming back to us with so many wonderful ideas. She thoughtfully and creatively wove all the important elements we hoped for into a beautiful ceremony, down to every detail. She was open to our ideas, and supportive through every step of the way, right up until we were there in the moment getting married, and even after the ceremony. She helped make our wedding so special, and we got so many compliments on how “us” our ceremony was and what a great job Miriam did. 100/10, would recommend, do yourself a favor and take this as your sign to book with her!

Rabbi Brent Chaim Spodek

Beacon, NY
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves New York

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!

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!!!

I believe that a wedding ceremony should be more than just words. It should feel like home. A moment so personal and full of love that it stays with you forever. That’s what I create for every couple I marry. I’m not just an officiant - I’m your friend, your guide, and your biggest cheerleader. I’ll be there to steady your nerves, share a laugh, and remind you to soak it all in. Because your love story is one-of-a-kind, and your ceremony should be too.

Awarded Best of Zola
Researching our honeymoon destination, we stumbled across photos on the web taken by Jackie’s husband, Sascha, which led us to Jackie. So inspired were we by TeamReinking, we decided to put our complete trust in them and elope from Australia to NYC. We had literally just booked our wedding in Australia. Jackie was so easy to work with and we connected with her via emails and then the moment we met in person (literally just before our ceremony). Jackie helped us create the most beautiful ceremony in April 2023 at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, NYC. A special moment in time filled with shared promises, love, laughter and quite a few tears. It was an emotional day for us that had been 12 years in the making. Jackie is simply a delight and it was easy for us to just be ourselves in that moment. My husband is still talking about our beautiful ceremony with Jackie by our side. I think he’s your number 1 fan, Jackie!!! Our photos (taken by Sascha) are beyond stunning and the memories of our day and ceremony we will cherish forever. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Tick this one off your list, celebrant and photographer sorted!! I’d give a 6 star rating if I could!! Ps I think my husband is already planning for us to renew our vows in the future with TeamReinking!!

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!

NY Wedding Rabbi Lev Herrnson serves individuals and couples from Reform, Conservative and unaffiliated families. He has great sensitivity to the challenges of being Jewish in the modern world—because of his own Jewish journey and varied experiences--and therefore welcomes women and men from all walks of Jewish life. His philosophy reflects openness to innovation and respect for tradition. Rabbi Lev officiates at celebrations in the NY area and at destination locations.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Rabbi Lev officiate our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, warm, and engaging presence to lead us through such a meaningful day. From the very beginning, he took the time to really get to know us meeting with us multiple times over Zoom and then in person leading up to the wedding. He made us feel seen and understood, and he helped shape a ceremony that felt uniquely “us.” As someone who had recently converted to Judaism, I was especially grateful for how inclusive and welcoming Rabbi Lev was not just to me, but to my entire family, many of whom were unfamiliar with Jewish traditions. He struck the perfect balance between spirituality, tradition, and accessibility, explaining the different elements of the ceremony in a light and meaningful way. He brought humor, warmth, and wisdom, and truly made everyone feel a part of the moment. We’re still getting compliments from family and friends about how special the ceremony was and how memorable Rabbi Lev made it. Rabbi Lev has a gift for creating connection, and we are so grateful to have had him with us for multiple deeply personal and joyful occasions. Don’t think twice about having him be part of your special moments you will be in the very best hands.

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!

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 officiated our wedding in August 2024 and we can’t recommend her enough! She was very personable from the first call, and the ceremony she wrote for us captured our personality and relationship perfectly - humorous, but with our relationship on full display. We had multiple people come up to us telling us it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve experienced! She also handled the paperwork side of things swiftly and easily. Look no further than Josie!

Rabbi Jill, the Rabbi/ Cantor of the historic Actors' Temple in Manhattan, has been joining loving couples of all faiths and genders for many years. It is a privilege for me to help you honor each other, to declare the love that joins you, and to share in the joy that your marriage brings to the world. Whether your wedding plans are big or small, traditional or contemporary, Rabbi Jill will help you create the perfect ceremony and make your wedding a truly beautiful, inspiring, spiritual, and joyous occasion. Jewish weddings and all interfaith ceremonies with co-officiant clergy, and as a sole officiant, are Rabbi Jill's specialty.

Rabbi Jill did an amazing job blending together my Jewish background and my Wife's Italian-Catholic heritage. She worked hand-in-hand with the deacon to craft the perfect wedding ceremony, helped us pick out an appropriate interfaith Ketubah, and offered a beautiful rendition of Ave Maria during the processional. If you're looking for a Rabbi to blend together different religious and cultural traditions into a wedding that respects and uplifts both, look no further than Rabbi Jill!

Our Wedding Officiant NYC offers its namesake services in and around NY. They work upon the philosophy that "your perfect wedding starts with your perfect ceremony. Led by Peter Boruchowitz, an ordained clergyman and multiple award-winning officiant, he can perform meaningful and memorable ceremonies.

I highly recommend Peter to be the officiant at your wedding. He was easy to work with and very friendly. He was very prepared on our wedding day. My husband has a harder name to pronounce but Peter prepped for that. It was also windy on our wedding day, but he was able be heard clearly with our guests and didn't skip a beat (even when the wind blew his notes to the next page!). He was also very comfortable to be around and helped us (especially my husband) with prewedding nerves. He is the guy you want to have nearby on your wedding day and to work with to make sure your ceremony is exactly how you imagined!
