Working with Chris at Illuminating Ceremonies was truly a heartfelt experience. From the moment we first spoke, I could tell Chris was passionate about creating a ceremony that was a perfect representation of who we are as a couple. Chris took the time to get to know us and our personalities, and tailored the ceremony in such a thoughtful way that it felt so personal and special (our guests thought we had known him for years!). Their attention to detail and commitment to making our wedding day perfect was truly priceless. We felt so blessed to have them officiate our ceremony, which was filled with love, laughter, and a wonderful celebration surrounded by our fun-loving family and friends. We are so grateful to Illuminating Ceremonies for helping to make our wedding day an unforgettable experience.

Rabbi Brent Chaim Spodek 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
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.

Working with Rabbi Brent was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. When we first met, we weren’t entirely sure what we wanted in an officiant — and as an interfaith couple, we weren’t even sure we wanted to be married by a rabbi. But from the start, he made us feel comfortable and supported. As he told us early on, working with him isn’t just an investment in your wedding — it’s an investment in your marriage. We genuinely looked forward to our sessions with him, and to the conversations he encouraged us to have between them. Writing a ketubah felt intimidating at first, but he made the process meaningful and surprisingly manageable. And when it came time to shape our ceremony, he was endlessly flexible, helping us think through which traditions felt true to us and which didn’t — always meeting us with thoughtful guidance and perspective. And then came our wedding day. Rabbi Brent was the vendor our guests talked about the most — he led a ceremony that was personal, heartfelt, and clearly rooted in the time he spent really getting to know us. His words reflected a real understanding of who we are and how we show up for each other. We wish there were more people out there who approach this work the way he does — blending meaningful pre-marital counseling with a beautiful, deeply considered ceremony — but the truth is he’s one in a million. We’re so grateful we found him.

Vanessa was absolutely outstanding and made our wedding day SO incredibly special and magical. We will forever cherish how seamless she made the whole process during the planning, rehearsal and the ceremony itself on the day of. Her communication was outstanding the entire time and she was extremely organized throughout the whole process. Vanessa met with us whenever we needed/ wanted, set up a wedding workshop with us, set up a Google doc for the script of the ceremony, answered text messages or phone calls in a very timely manner and made sure everything was perfectly planned out as we dreamed of. Vanessa was diligent, did not skip a beat and helped with every detail of our wedding ceremony. Vanessa helped coordinate with all of our vendors, including our DJ for the ceremony music, our photographer and our venue to make sure everything went exactly as planned. It was such a beautiful day and we could not be happier to have been married by Vanessa, who will now be our lifelong friend. Vanessa has a bubbly personality and is so caring. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to effectively share our love story with our friends and family. She put together our love story so beautifully and she was so attentive on the day of our wedding to both the bride and the groom.

Dani from Once Upon A Vow was absolutely fantastic to work with on our wedding ceremony. We were having an elopement wedding from the UK to New York, Central Park so Dani’s communication was very important and she was excellent with sending us helpful and proactive emails in advance and throughout the process. We also had a helpful and fun video call to talk through our love story and relationship. Dani was really lovely, friendly, kind, inclusive, upbeat and fun! We felt so comfortable talking to her and knew she was going to be just perfect for officiating our special day. Our ceremony was at the peak of a heat wave in the middle of Central Park and Dani was so professional and read such a thoughtful, personal monologue about what is important to us and special about each other. It was beautiful! We had a lot of options and choices for the ceremony which made it feel really personal to us. We can’t thank Dani enough for such a wonderful start to our married life!

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'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

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!

My wife and I had been planning our micro wedding when we realized we still needed the perfect Officiant. After a few consultations with others, we were okay, but my wife insisted we have one more this time with Ope. From the moment we spoke with her, everything changed. She had an instant gravitating presence full of conviction, confidence, and passion. Her dedication to her clients is unmatched: she offered multiple follow-up meetings, rehearsals, and even connected with our families to learn more about us. The highlight was the beautiful love story she crafted for our ceremony, truly perfect. Choosing Ope was one of the best decisions we made. She was professional, welcoming, understanding, and radiated a commanding yet warm presence throughout. Her infectious spirit made the entire process a joy. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing she was, especially the love story she created for us. Thank you, Ope, for making our wedding ceremony everything we envisioned.

I have been an officiant since 2023. I live in Northern NY and try to keep my rates affordable for couples. I can do weddings within a 125 miles radius of Fort Drum, NY. Will go further but more charges will apply. I am willing to do large weddings of 200+ people or smaller weddings with just a handful of people. I am bilingual with my second language being Spanish. I can also notarize documents if needed for your wedding.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our special day. From our first meeting, was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony meaningful and personal. They took the time to get to know our story and crafted a beautiful script that reflected our values and personalities. On the day of the wedding, she brought a calming presence and delivered the ceremony with grace, sincerity, and just the right touch of humor. Our guests were moved, and many commented on how heartfelt and unique the ceremony felt. If you're looking for someone who will treat your wedding with care and make it truly memorable, we wholeheartedly recommend.

At Jade Luck Club, we believe that love transcends language, and your wedding ceremony should too. Specializing in bilingual wedding officiation, we are dedicated to creating heartfelt and personalized ceremonies that beautifully honor the languages, cultures, and traditions that define your unique love story. Whether you're celebrating with a traditional ceremony, a modern exchange of vows, or incorporating meaningful cultural rituals, we ensure that every word resonates with both you and your guests.

I honestly could not imagine our wedding ceremony without Jade! We found her on instagram while looking for a bilingual officiant. She is so personable, professional, and organized. She had a beautiful speech for us after getting to know us after some Zoom sessions and translated our vows into written Chinese for our parents/family to read while we were up at the altar. It felt like we had known her as a friend for much longer! We're going to miss working with her. I can't thank her enough for making our special day even more special!

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.
