Rev Francesca was open to doing a bilingual and short secular ceremony. Her Spanish skills are great, both written and spoken. My family are native speakers and really appreciated the Spanish translations woven into the ceremony.Rev. Francesca Manisco's reply:
Thank you for your kind words. It was a beautiful ceremony in Central Park, dappled by the afternoon sun. Had fun meeting both families. Rev. Francesca -

Elizabeth Sent on 10/04/2020Professional and Sentimental Officiant
Picking Francesca to be our officiant was the best decision for us. From the moment we spoke to her, we knew we wanted her to officiate our civil wedding. Her voice was soothing and it can captivate a room quite easily. She has a voice of an angel! It was very important for us to make our ceremony unique and personalize it and she was open to our ideas. She had great suggestions especially including both of our mothers in the ceremony which tugged at our guests heart. To this day, our guests have mentioned how amazing and unique our ceremony was, all thanks to Rev. Francesca!Rev. Francesca Manisco's reply:
Dear Elizabeth and Fabio,
Thank you for choosing me as your officiant. It was an honor to celebrate your wedding so rich with love and laughter. Both your mothers are wonderful, strong, and intelligent women.
Thank you for your kind words. Rev. Francesca

Antonio S. Sent on 11/07/2021A pleasure to work with!
Francesca was personable, friendly, professional, and did a great job making us feel comfortable with the process and what to expect. She was also very flexible in working with us as we hired her prior to the pandemic and had to reschedule more than once. She's also bilingual and performed our ceremony in English and Italian! We would absolutely recommend her.Rev. Francesca Manisco's reply:
Dear Robin and Antonio,
I enjoyed working with you both. Waiting for the pandemic to be (almost) over was the right thing to do. I am honored that you chose me as your officiant. It was a beautiful venue and ceremony. Thank you.

We had a beautiful wedding officiated by Reverend Manisco, on August 1st, 2020. Our wedding took place at The John Paul Jones Park. It is our favorite place and has a beautiful background for pictures. It was the perfect space for social distancing and staying healthy. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day.
Reverend Manisco was the first officiant we contacted and we were very pleased. We loved the poem Love is kind ... 1Corinthians 13:4-8. She was very patient with formulating our vows, our kids, dog, photographer, videographer, paper work, and bystanders. She gave us a service in the park as one in a cathedral.
Reverend Manisco personalized our nuptials. She reminded us to reflect on these beautiful promises on our future wedding anniversaries and when we are facing challenges in our marriage. We are happy she shared our special day. May, she continue unite many more couples in love.
Sincerely,
Neilia & Frank

Dear Neilia and Frank,
It was such a beautiful day and a wonderful ceremony. I was honored to marry you. Thank you for your kind words.

Beautiful ceremony = Rev. Francesca Manisco
Rev Francesca, was such a pleasure to hire. She is trilingual, and we needed Spanish and English ceremony, and she delivered! We aren’t too religious, but wanted to include something from the Bible, and she added a love poem. Her translations were spot on, she was so professional, she had an outline ready when we met, and was so open to add what we’d like. Day of the wedding, she spoke clear and was so warm, I get emotional just thinking how she married us. She was a delight, I highly recommend this woman to any future betrothed couple.Rev. Francesca Manisco's reply:
Michelle and Thomas,
It was an honor to celebrate your wedding. It was a beautiful wedding. The love you both have for each other will be forever.
Thank you for inviting me into the new chapter of your lives.

Jiselle B. Sent on 10/18/2019We cannot thank you enough!!
We are so lucky that we found Rev. Francesca for our ceremony. It was very important to us to find an officiant who spoke both English and Italian as my husbands family was coming from Italy for the wedding. During our initial meeting with Rev. Francesca, both my husband and I knew she would be perfect. She was so sweet and took the time to get to know us over (the most delicious) cups of espresso. She understood exactly what we were looking for in our ceremony and promptly sent an outlined script of the entire ceremony. We only made a few changes to the script as her words were so beautiful and genuine. On the night of our rehearsal dinner, Rev. Francesca managed to wrangle a room full of loud Italians in order to run through the ceremony once before the big day.
Our ceremony could not have been more perfect and it's because of Rev. Francesca. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple and it will make your ceremony so much more special. We are so grateful to have found her and highly highly recommend her!!Rev. Francesca Manisco's reply:
Thank you Jiselle, Grazie Luigi,
It was a beautiful ceremony ... imbued with love, joy and happiness.
It was an honor for me to marry you.

Outstanding!
Reverend Francesca was our celebrant. She is an outstanding Master of Ceremony. Italian and English mother tongue she is perfect for the wedding ceremony of Italians and Americans. She is also very friendly and cares so much to her clients, treating them more as her kids than her customers. We deeply recommend her!Rev. Francesca Manisco's reply:
Thank you. Grazie pr avermi scelto come vostra offciante. E' stato un onore. I am so happy you chose me as your wedding offciant. It was an honor for me.

Elisa Sent on 09/21/2018We can't ask for a better Reverent! She was so sweet, professional and definitely made our day unforgettable!
She designed the perfect speech for us after we met twice before the wedding.
Since I'm Italian, I was looking for a bilingual ceremony for our guests and Rev. Francesca switched from Italian to English making the moments understandable and understandable for all.
I definitely recommend her!Rev. Francesca Manisco's reply:
Dear Elisa and Danny,
Thank you. I was honored to marry you. It was a great ceremony. Meeting both your families was fun. I am glad that they could all understand your vows for each other.
All my best,
Rev. Francesca -

User2175771 Sent on 06/11/2015Rev. Francesca was absolutely lovely and professional as an officiant. We really enjoyed the whole process with her and she made us feel very comfortable. I could not imagine a better experience and would highly recommend her! -
User1909976 Sent on 11/07/2014Francesca is an absolute pleasure to work with. Being half Italian, it was really important to me that the ceremony be conducted in both English and Italian so that all my family would be able to understand. It was simply perfect! Francesca's input leading up to the wedding was invaluable and she could not have been more accommodating on the big day. She traveled over 2 hours to officiate our wedding, stayed overnight and led both the rehearsal and wedding ceremony for a very reasonable fee - considerably less than local officiants who wouldn't have been bilingual and wouldn't have attended the rehearsal. Both my husband and myself couldn't recommend her more. Francesca Manisco is a fantastic human being and a remarkable officiant.
