About

Hello! Welcome. My name is Franny Civitano and I am wedding officiant based in Brooklyn, NY.

I believe that a partnership between two people is strongest when those people count themselves as individuals—whole, complete, and flawed individuals—who make a choice every day to continue their partnership. You want to make each other better, and together you are stronger. Whether this partnership takes the form of legal marriage, life-long togetherness, or something else entirely, it requires diligence, forgiveness, and a little magic.

Services Offered

I am taking 2025 off from custom ceremonies and day-of coordinating to give myself more time to travel and rest. I’m only taking on last-minute wedding license signing or Simple Ceremonies (see below). If that’s what you are looking for, please reach out!

  • Simple ceremony: about 5 minutes in length, I have two pre-written ceremonies to choose from that are short, sweet, and perfect for elopements or those on a budget.
  • Just the legal stuff: don't want a ceremony, you just want to be legally married? I can do that, too.

  • LGBTQ+-owned
  • Woman-owned

You need Franny!

We hired Franny to be our officiant and also our day-of planner. We were a bit undecided on whether we needed a planner but after the first meeting it was clear that she was going to bring a lot to the table.
I had so much anxiety around the planning and I felt so much better once Franny got involved. She asked questions about what we wanted or were envisioning and helped us flesh out the details of the day. She always responded promptly to emails and we had about 3 zoom meetings leading up to the day. Her guidance and experience were invaluable!!
On the day of our wedding she showed up early to the venue while we were at another location doing photos. She only had about an hour and she and a few of our friends transformed the space into something better than I could have imagined.
She also put together a beautiful ceremony based on a questionnaire that we filled out about our relationship and also what she had learned about us through meetings. We collaborated and could provide feedback on exactly what she would say and she also helped us figure out our vows.

Do yourself a favor and hire Franny!

Amazing and professional!

Franny was such an easy person to work with and created a personalized ceremony that was absolutely perfect. It all felt very “us”, and we had guests coming up to us all night saying how beautiful and heartfelt our ceremony was.

Amazing Officiant!!

Franny delivered the BEST service for our wedding. She was unbelievably professional, thoughtful, and we got rave reviews from all of our guests about her.

Outside of getting married, she was certainly the highlight of our ceremony! She got to know me and my wife really well, on a personal level, and catered her entire speech to us and our love. We were so impressed by her and would recommend her to anyone!!
