Alex was the perfect officiant for our special day. He is warm and friendly and although our initial meeting with him was via Skype, as we live in the UK, we felt like we had known him forever.
He took the time to get to know us personally, adding some beautiful touches and kind words into our ceremony. My new husband and I love to laugh and Alex was amazing at adding a touch of humour to our perfect ceremony bringing a smile to the faces of our guests. We can’t recommend him enough, if you’re looking for a wedding officiant Alex is definitely your guy, he’s just wonderful! If we could do it all again tomorrow we wouldn’t change a thing! -

Thank you Mariela!
We cannot thank Mariela enough for her outstanding service on our wedding day. She arrived early, which was a huge relief, especially given the impending storm. Thanks to her promptness and efficiency, we were able to complete our small wedding ceremony just before the weather turned. Mariela was professional, calming, and incredibly accommodating. Her ability to adapt to the situation and ensure our ceremony went smoothly despite the looming storm was impressive. We highly recommend Mariela to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled officiant. Thank you for making our day perfect! -

Stephanie was great to work with. She was able to craft a personalized officiant speech script and delivered it so well that many guests asked if she was our friend! She included some of our anecdotes, and even wrote some parts in Chinese for our Chinese guests. Before the wedding, Stephanie was very helpful and easy to reach for all of our questions. She also really helped us calm our nerves before the wedding ceremony. I'd definitely recommend Stephanie as an officiant! -

We could not have chosen a more kind, caring, compassionate and professional officiant in James.
The time he took to get to know me and my fiance was so appreciated, which resulted in him so eloquently telling our story to our family and friends at the ceremony.
With gratitude - John & Edelyn

Working with Alex was the best possible experience and beyond anything our couple could have wished for! As a planner that has been a part of hundreds of weddings, Alex's attention to detail and care for every wedding ceremony that he is a part of is so beyond evident. His communication was prompt and clear throughout the planning process and he arrived early for all scheduled meetings and the day of the wedding! He worked diligently to create a ceremony that was unique and special for Kayla and Peter's official ceremony. We are so grateful to have met Alex and had him be a part of such a special time for our couple. It was truly such an honor to work alongside him for this experience! -

We absolutely loved our ceremony! We did a pre-scripted ceremony with Alex and it was so beautifully worded. It was very special, memorable and heartfelt. Our guests also complimented on how beautiful it was. The experience from the time we booked to the day of was very easy and seamless. Alex took the time to discuss with us what we wanted and gave us options to make sure he delivered the experience we were looking for. We couldn't be happier with how it all turned out and will remember it forever. -

Christine Sent on 06/03/2024Thank you so much James :)
We had the pleasure of working with James for our intimate rooftop elopement. James was very communicative the entire time leading up to the wedding date. When we first booked him, we hopped on a call just to talk a little bit about expectations and our personal love story. About a month out from the wedding date, he sent us the script for our ceremony for feedback and edits. It was a super simple and easy process. He answered questions we had about our wedding location, which was originally supposed to be at cop cot (central park), and he was very flexible when we decided to switch locations (the day of) to my in law's rooftop in greenwich village. James is experienced and knowledgeable about the flow of weddings. One of our concerns about Cop Cot was that there would have been a wedding right before the time slot we booked. James assured us that he can communicate with the photographer of the party before and give them a gentle nudge if time cut close, which really helped ease my mind.
We had a beautiful ceremony. And everything went really smoothly. The ceremony speech James gave was beautiful. I couldn't be happier with the ease and professionalism of the service :) Thank you for braving the cold rainy weather with us James! -

Amazing Officiant
We didn’t think we needed to hire an officiant for our Star Wars themed wedding. Our Rabbi, who was also one of my closest friends, was all set to do the ceremony. Sadly, he passed away several months before we were to be married. This left a blemish on our wedding day that we thought was insurmountable – how do you replace someone who knew us as a couple from the very first day of our relationship? Someone who has been a friend for even longer than the bride and groom even knew each other?
The answer came in the form of an e-mail from Alex of NYC Officiant. We had requested a quote for services, and we were blown away by the kind, compassionate, and sympathetic response that we received from Alex – which also started with “you have found your Jedi.” He acknowledged our loss and softly walked us through the process of planning a ceremony. Alex was very flexible and giving of his time, treating us as individuals and making us feel special right from the start – this was not going to be a ”cookie cutter” ceremony by any means. We wanted to incorporate the Star Wars theme into our ceremony in a classy and subtle way – Alex NAILED the perfect mix of fun and seriousness. Alex became familiar with our “story” and was able to speak to the unique aspects of our relationship. Alex crafted an interesting and compelling ceremony that left our guests equally in laughter and tears of joy.
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alex and NYC Officiant. The true test is always the audience, and many of our guests remarked how interesting and engaging both the ceremony was, as well as Alex himself. He truly did the impossible by filling the shoes of someone who we thought was irreplaceable. -

Mariela exuded grace and warmth as our wedding officiant. Her guidance throughout the ceremony was impeccable, seamlessly weaving together our love story with meaningful rituals and heartfelt words. Her presence added an extra layer of magic to our special day, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect guide to officiate our union. -

I cannot express enough how grateful my partner Chelsea and I are for Alex's exceptional service as the officiant at our wedding. From the moment we first connected, Alex demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, care, and genuine commitment to making our day unforgettable.
Communication was seamless from start to finish. Alex took the time to get to know us through a video call, where he not only discussed logistics but also took a genuine interest in understanding our story and what mattered most to us on our big day. He provided a comprehensive form and questionnaire, ensuring every detail was tailored to our preferences.
On the day of the wedding, Alex's presence was reassuring and comforting. He arrived early at the venue, equipped with a wealth of knowledge and a calming demeanor. His attention to detail was impeccable, providing us with a clear play-by-play of what to expect, which alleviated any pre-ceremony jitters we may have had.
One of the standout moments was when Alex graciously helped me with my bowtie, showcasing his willingness to go above and beyond his duties. His guidance on writing our vows ensured that Chelsea and I were perfectly in sync during the ceremony, creating a truly heartfelt and cohesive experience.
What truly sets Alex apart is his ability to make you feel seen and valued as a couple. His words of encouragement and reminders to focus on each other during moments of nervousness or doubt were incredibly touching and made our ceremony even more meaningful.
In summary, Alex exceeded our expectations in every way possible. While his role may have been professional, the impact he made on our special day will forever hold a place in our hearts. I cannot recommend Alex and his company highly enough to anyone seeking an officiant who truly cares about making your wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, Alex, for being an integral part of our love story. -

We loved having Alex as our officiant for our wedding in Central Park!
We were planning our wedding from Vancouver Canada and Alex helped put our minds at ease as we planned from afar.
He was very easy to work with and spent some time getting to know us in order to personalize our ceremony. We even had wedding guests remark at how much they enjoyed our officiant.
Thanks again Alex!
