    Beautiful Ceremony

    We hired Giana as our officiant and loved her after our first zoom call! She was relatable and knew exactly what were wanted for our ceremony. Giana would send helpful reminders and information for obtaining our marriage license and had us fill our questionnaires so that she could make our ceremony truly unique to us. We opted to share our personal vows in private ahead of the ceremony, but I love that Giana worked with us to even customize the more generic call-and-response vows to fit us and our relationship as well. Another really personal touch was that she left us an envelope on our sweetheart table that had each other's answers to the questionnaires. I absolutely loved that and how thoughtful she was in making our ceremony truly sentimental.

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    It was an absolute pleasure officiating for you and Evan! You have a lovely group of friends and family supporting you and chose a beautiful venue. It was truly an honor. We hope to see you at the next celebration - 1 year anniversary party, here we come!!!

    Best Planners EVER!

    Giana and Jamie are INCREDIBLE to have by your side for wedding planning. Both of them were so involved in different parts of our process from beginning to end. They were always accessible and easy to get a hold of when we needed something. They did a great job of making sure we stayed on track and in budget. Giana was our day of coordinator and she was able to handle everything without a hitch. She worked great with all of our other vendors to help create the day we were dreaming.

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    Oh my goodness. What a lovely review! Thank you, Olivia. You and Andy are always a BE fav. and can't wait to keep celebrating with you!

    Fantastic Experience with Wedding Officiant!

    We would highly recommend Broadly Entertaining if you are searching for a wedding officiant! Jamie from Broadly Entertaining was friendly, thoughtful, and communicative right from the beginning of our correspondence about hiring an officiant for our June 2022 wedding. Broadly Entertaining had several potential people and lined up zoom chats with each for us (we were planning long-distance), and each person was delightful, prepared, and wanted to help us find the right fit. We had a hard time deciding because we liked each of them so much! We picked one person, but then they ended up getting a theater national tour gig and so Jamie stepped back in to both write our ceremony and find us a new officiant (assuring us that if she couldn’t, she would fly from Texas to NY to officiate personally at no additional cost to us). Jamie found Monique, set up a call to make sure we were comfortable, and helped keep everything moving smoothly. We exchanged several drafts of the ceremony with Jamie and she was always receptive to our feedback, while providing thoughtful suggestions as well. Monique was great about keeping in touch around details, showed up early and pitched in to get last-minute spacing figured out for the ceremony. Monique was so personable and welcoming and the ceremony was really lovely. So many people came up to us all evening complimenting us on the ceremony and assuming that we had known Monique for years despite having only met via zoom before our wedding day.

    Overall, Broadly Entertaining was great to work with: super on top of things and checking in with us, happy to help us think through ways of bringing in our different religious upbringings (Jewish and Protestant Christian) that felt meaningful without being overly religious. We highly recommend them as officiants if you are looking for someone who isn’t explicitly religious in background but is happy to help create a ceremony that is completely aligned with your vision.. We didn’t hire a wedding planner for our wedding, but if we were going to hire an event planner for something in the future, we would certainly look to Broadly Entertaining for that side of things as well.

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    Thank you, thank you! What a wonderful and well-thought-out review. 😍

    It was a joy to meet and work with you and Paula, and we hope we'll have a chance to do it again soon!

    Truly incredible officiant

    Jamie was absolutely incredible to work with, and we could not imagine entrusting our ceremony to anyone else. We loved the way in which she added personality and liveliness to what can often be dry and so formal. She asked us to complete a questionnaire about each other and our relationship, and then crafted the most beautiful, personalized, and intimate ceremony script for us with our answers. We cried when we read the draft, and were absolute messes day of. Jamie is compassionate, fun, personable, and someone that I would be glad to call a friend! We highly, highly recommend Jamie and Broadly Entertaining!

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    Thank you for the honor of presiding over your ceremony, and for your generosity throughout! It is a pleasure to know you all and I look forward to sticking around for more milestones to come. ;)

    Broadly Entertaining made our dream wedding come true!

    Finding Giana and Jamie is just the key to make our dream wedding come true! We couldn't be happier to have them involved in our wedding!
    We had our elopement marriage ceremony at the center of a frozen lake in Upstate New York. It's the perfect wedding that we always dreamed about but never dare to think of conducting it. With their passion and profession, we made it within only one week preparation. They offered so many additional supports, and tackled the issues we faced without any hesitation.
    Also, they are proactive and super easy to communicate with from the beginning. Their friendliness and sincerity made us feel like planning it with our old friends, making the whole thing a great memory.
    Truly thank you for everything you did for us, Giana and Jamie. We love you! You guys are the best!!

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    It was a ceremony for the books! You and your beautiful wife were a delight to work for and we’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Thank you!!

    Broadly Entertaining Did A Fantastic Job!

    Jamie Rosler and Broadly Entertaining officiated our wedding and they were amazing. We really appreciated their willingness to work with us to build out the perfect ceremony for us. We worked through several Zoom meetings and emails to craft the script we wanted. They understand the logistics and minutia associated with weddings and provided fantastic advice for how we could improve the ceremony.

    When it came time, Jamie did a fantastic job organizing us for the ceremony rehearsal and then leading us through the ceremony itself. We wanted a short, but impactful ceremony and Jamie helped us make it a reality. Our guests not only commented on how beautiful our ceremony was they complimented how great Jamie did and asked where we found her.

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    Thank you, Cory! Much love to you and Jackie. It was such a pleasure and a wonderful learning experience as well getting to build your ceremony. We're so happy that both you and your guests appreciated and enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing this review with a picture, too. :)

    wonderful experience

    If you want a personal touch to your wedding, pick Broadly Entertaining. Giana and Colin made us feel comfortable from the minute we started speaking to them. They are knowledgeable and have a wide variety of songs. If you have a specific style, they can build a playlist around that and offer helpful suggestions if you need a push in the right direction. Giana & Colin checked in multiple times before the wedding and were great about giving timelines for the event. They were able to work with shy toast givers and people who live on the dance floor, alike. It was a pleasure to work with them. Our guests were complementing their professionalism and song choices the whole night. Giana & Colin, thank you for making our special day so memorable!

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    You were such a sweet couple. Thank you so much for the kind words and appreciate working with you and your family!

    Superstar Wedding Coordinator

    Giana stepped in after our first wedding was postponed due to Covid and we were in the midst of finalizing the second one. She helped pull together all of the last minute details, found vendors in an area where there are very few, and saved the day after our caterer cancelled and we needed servers, bartenders, and booze. Our wedding was no small task because it was at our house and we were bringing in everything from outside. The day of the wedding I didn’t worry about a thing because I knew everything would get done with Giana in charge and her husband Colin assisting. I was completely blown away when I saw how everything came together and no little detail was overlooked. Giana and her team took care of everything including set up and parking control, putting together displays, making flavored water and custom cocktails - you name it, they did it. She made sure my husband and I got drinks and ate and that the schedule of events was followed. She was a complete rockstar and source of support throughout the entire process. I’d hire her 20x over and couldn’t recommend her and BE more!
    Giana, thank you so much for the most perfect wedding!

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    Thank you so much, Megan! We had a marvelous time at your stunning property. It was an honor to be part of it and can't wait to party with you again soon!

    The perfect team for our last minute "micro wedding!"

    My husband and I were planning a last minute "micro wedding" on my friends rooftop in Brooklyn, and Jamie and Giana jumped on board within two weeks of the wedding. We did a zoom meeting and their energy was uplifting, positive, and sweet and I knew right away I wanted them to be there! (And they both have a theater background so we definitely connected that way as well!)

    As a bride and groom, we didn't have many ideas on how we wanted the ceremony to go, so I was really thankful to have them walk us through the process and brainstorm with us. They made it a stress-free experience.

    When the day came, Jamie came early and talked me through the ceremony and made any last minute changes. She put a lot of work into sprinkling personal elements from questionnaires that both Adrian and I filled out and I think that made it feel even more special. It was a very low key ceremony and exactly what we wanted! Giana ran our zoom for our families overseas, and even made a cute Welcome Card for everyone when they arrived to the zoom.

    Really loved working with them and recommend them to anyone looking!

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    Thank you, Jessie! We're so glad you found us, and honored that you let us be involved. It was a delight, a beautiful venue with a classic view, and such a joy to marry two people so clearly in love. Cheers to your life together!

    Fabulous, fun, smart, positive energy!

    Giana and Jamie didn’t just provide a fabulous bagel bingo for our wedding brunch, but also helped tremendously with several events throughout. They even decorated a pathway and kept our guests on course and steadily flowing for a processional through the woods! They acted much like a support team- helping with planning and brain storming. They are so flexible and so creative. The Broadly team will NOT disappoint!

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    That pathway through the woods was such a beautiful gift for your guests with all the musical vignettes for them to stop at and enjoy. We also had a great time designing signs on old album covers for each of them. Magic all around!

    Make your wedding planning easier and hire them!

    Do yourself a favor and hire these ladies!! Giana and Jamie made my wedding planning SO MUCH more relaxing. At every step of the process they were there helping and asking what they could do! They helped plan my bachelorette party to my bridal shower to my wedding. I meant to only hire them for one event but they were so easy to work with and went above and beyond I wanted them to help plan everything. They both instantly felt like friends and not people we hired. When I would call about a problem whoever I talked to, Giana or Jamie, would help me calm down, help me problem solve and make me laugh. That was the biggest thing they did, their presence and energy relaxed the room. For my wedding day Giana sang me down the aisle and I had SO many people ask me where I found her. Jamie was our officiant and it was perfect! She really created a beautiful ceremony that felt so personal. Make your wedding planning easier and hire them!

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your Doctor Who inspired wedding was beautiful and one we will never forget. Thank you for sharing all your celebrations with us, you were an absolute dream bride to work for.

    Lots of fun

    Jaime and Gianna were the DJs at our wedding in 2018. They brought a lot of fun to the reception and invited our guests to join in without being too pushy. Their jokes and spirit lifted the night and they were accommodating for every request that was made. I highly recommend their services to any couple.

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    Thank you, Ivan! Spirits were already pretty high but we were honored to do our part in keeping them there. You and Theresa and all your guests were a joy to work and party with!

    Broadly Entertaining Rules.

    Broadly Entertaining provided two big things for our wedding. First, we had a number of different, small performances over the course of the weekend which could have been a logistical nightmare. Instead Broadly Entertaining provided help with managing and organizing the other performers, pretty much owning whole sections of the day that I barely had to think about. YES!
    Second, Broadly Entertaining provided Chicken Bingo during our Sunday brunch. At first we didn't have anything planned other than eating but then BE offered to add some fun and we thought, what the heck, let's have chicken bingo. Hoo boy was that a good move. The chicken bingo ended up being one of the most talked about moments of our wedding weekend. It was a blast and a totally unexpected bit of joy and laughter added to the event. That was 100% due to the ladies at Broadly Entertaining. They have my strongest recommendation. Seriously. Just contact them. You'll be so glad you did.

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    Thank you, Michael! Your stunning Catskills double wedding for 300 guests was one for the books and we will never forget! Not to mention a total dream team to work for. Thanks for letting us be part of such a truly magical weekend.

    A Ceremony to Remember

    We hired BE to be our wedding officiants. We didn't want a traditional ceremony, but there were some traditions we wanted to include. BE was great in helping us plan - they worked with us to figure out the elements to build around, then took the lead in planning everything so it made sense. It led to a ceremony that paid homage to both our ancestries while remaining uniquely us.

    On the day of our wedding, BE held our guests' attention throughout the ceremony, deftly moving between solemn moments and spots of laughter, controlling the emotions of the moment in a way we'll never forget.

    To this day, the ceremony remains our favorite part of the wedding video.

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    What an honor it was to be involved! We're so happy to know that the ceremony still holds such a coveted place in your hearts and memories. Thank you.

    Pandemic ceremony

    We were pleased with our officiants. They were kind and very accomodating despite the changes that had to be made with short notice. They put together a beautiful ceremony for us that we were able to share with our family and friends via zoom. I would recommend them 100%

    Broadly Entertaining's reply:

    Queen! Thank you so much for letting us be part of your celebration. You and Ojor are such a beautiful couple. We appreciate the kind words and we hope to party with you again soon!
