Larissa was great!!

I chatted with a few officiants, and it was Larissa who seemed the coolest, down-to-earth officiant with solid experience. The process to ultimately have the speech was easy, and she wrote out a speech that met my exact needs. Day off she hung out in my bridal suite and was so lovely to my bridesmaids and mom. And everything culminated to a beautiful ceremony. Larissa is wonderful, added bonus that she has a British accent (I had a bunch of guests from London/Europe, Americans loved it too!)

Weddings by Larissa

We travelled from the UK for our special day in NYC. Larissa guided us expertly through the process and dispelled any worries we harboured about navigating the marriage procedure in the US. And on the big day, she struck the perfect tone with our vows and wedding address. We couldn’t have wished for a better celebrant to conduct our marriage. Matthew & Kelly from England.

Larissa was everything we asked for and more!

From day 1, my now wife and I knew Larissa was the perfect fit. Larissa called us both to get to know both of us and we truly could tell she cared to make this experience the best it could possibly be. She was thorough, warm and most of all, someone we’d highly recommend anyone else use if an officiant of the highest quality is needed.

She even fixed the flower on my suit before the bride appeared to notice! 😂 Larissa was incredible to work with and I expect anyone reaching out will experience the same care and attention that we did! ❤️
