Amanda performed a beautiful ceremony, exactly according to our wishes. This wasn’t the easiest task, since those wishes evolved and changed along the way. Amanda accommodated every request, from providing a wide range of readings for us to consider, to consulting with us responsively regarding how to tactfully frame the oration in consideration of our respective children’s feelings (this being a second marriage for both of us), to graciously crafting with us a minimalist ceremony with no readings whatsoever. Yet during our ceremony Amanda exuded a quiet and penetrating warmth that helped support and amplify the meaningful words spoken by ourselves and our families to each other. Amanda also took care of all legal requirements discreetly and efficiently. She advised us on everything we needed (which was complicated by needing prior divorce decrees across State lines) and made herself available at a moment’s notice for all of our questions, requests, and changes along the way. Of course, while we do not plan to get married again ourselves, we loudly and unreservedly recommend Amanda to anyone who wishes to themselves get married (for the first or whatever-eth time) in a way that reflects who you each are as individuals, and as the next happy couple.

Alex Perez

We began officiating weddings in when customized wedding ceremonies weren’t “a thing” yet. We loved the idea of creating ceremonies that resonated true to each couple. We began creating lists of ideas and just never stopped. Once we started meeting couples and hearing their love stories, we knew that we had stumbled upon the best job on earth! Over thousands of weddings later, we still love the whole process! We have added a few wonderful officiants to our group. In the very rare instance that your officiant can't make it, one of us is on call. We'll never let you down.

THE narrator for love! He has a magical yet authentic way with words and presented both the concept of love/union and our personal story beautifully. We could tell from our first call with Juan that he is dedicated to his craft and absolutely loves what he does. If you or anyone else ever needs an officiant, Juan Toro is the one!

e process of planning our ceremony and making sure our event reflected everything we wanted. Our venue unfortunately didn’t allow us to have a formal rehearsal, but Alex coordinated everything so seamlessly that you would have never known we didn’t have one. He made sure everyone knew where they needed to be, what to expect, and helped everything flow smoothly on the day of our wedding. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to all of our requests truly made a difference. Alex went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony was exactly what we envisioned, and we’re so grateful to have had him be such an important part of our special day. If we could choose our officiant a hundred times over, we would choose Alex every single time. We can’t recommend him enough! Thank you, Alex, for helping make our wedding day so memorable! ❤️

cted exactly what we wanted. A few weeks before the wedding, we had a call with Alex where he walked us through so many details we hadn't even thought about. Looking back, we're so grateful he took the time to explain everything because it made us feel prepared and confident for the big day. Alex performed a beautiful bilingual ceremony that made both our English- and Spanish-speaking guests feel included. Even our grandparents, who only speak Spanish, couldn't stop talking about how wonderful he was afterward. They told us we couldn't have chosen a better person to officiate our wedding. Alex truly made our day even more special, and we couldn't recommend him more highly!

to know us, provided thoughtful feedback on our vows, and guided us through the entire process with kindness and care. On our wedding day, she delivered a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that felt personal, warm, and authentic. Her calm presence helped us feel at ease, and so many of our guests commented on how meaningful the ceremony was. One thing that was especially important to us was finding someone who could connect with both sides of our family. Amanda is a native English speaker and also speaks Spanish, which made her a fantastic choice for our bilingual wedding. She was able to communicate effortlessly with everyone and made all of our guests feel included. We’re so grateful we chose Amanda to be part of our wedding and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant who is professional, compassionate, and truly invested in making your ceremony special.

He spoke beautifully, kept the ceremony flowing perfectly, and struck the perfect balance between heartfelt, meaningful, and engaging. It truly felt personal and memorable.

Every detail showed how much care and intention he brings to his work. Alex was an absolute pleasure to have with us on one of the most important days of our lives. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much, Alex!

Alex checked in with us a couple of weeks before the ceremony, to go over the details, and to allow us an opportunity to ask any questions we had.

Alex’s words throughout the ceremony were absolutely beautiful. Alex also kindly took some photos and a video for us, as we did not have a videographer, with it being a very quick ceremony. I highly recommend Alex, and hope you select Alex for your special occasion! Thank you Alex! x

If you are looking for a professional to officiate your ceremony who will make your day feel magical, fun, and full of love and laughter, look no further!

Corey F

Just got married a week and half ago. My now wife and I initially were going to get married at City Hall.. we just wanted a simple, no frills wedding. But when we realized we could...

only have four guests present during the ceremony (per City Hall rules), we decided to go with Central Park. I did some research and discovered that you can get married pretty much anywhere in NYC's parks! We quickly realized we'd need an officiant since we'd now be getting married in the public arena. My fiance first went on Instagram and typed in 'Central Park wedding,' just to get the initial vibe for a park wedding, and coincidentally Officiant NYC was one of the top results. Based on the reviews and high rating, my fiance instructed me to inquire and ask for Alex, the owner. Not only did Officiant NYC respond to my inquiry within minutes, but within 12 hours we found out Alex could officiate our wedding! Shortly after putting down a deposit, I was on the phone with Alex. He was super easy to talk to and has a ton of experience with park weddings. I feel like I should mention though, Officiant NYC can work anywhere, not just in Central Park. In any case, he was able to give us an extensive list of location suggestions within the park. Thanks to him, we found our spot, right near the Bow Bridge. About a month before the wedding, we had a Zoom call with Alex to go over the particulars of the ceremony. It also gave Alex a chance to get to know us better, which would allow him to craft a sermon that fit our story. On our wedding day, Alex showed up early and got to meet our friends and families. He fit right in, and honestly it felt like he was one of our close friends. The ceremony itself was brilliant and captivating, although I must admit I was having a hard time focusing because I was just trying to keep it together. I will say, I think Alex was one of the main reason's my fiance and I didn't break down crying while standing up there in front of everyone during the ceremony. He just has a super calming, down to earth presence that kept us grounded. So yeah, I'd say if you're looking for a wedding officiant, check out Officiant NYC. Alex was great, but I'm certain the other officiants on the team are just as amazing!

he right places. And his delivery? Oh, my goodness! It was pitch-perfect! He barely glanced at his notes but rather spoke to us and to the crowd. It was like we were old friends or longtime congregants and he a pastor/priest at a church. However, we were not surprised. We could see being friends with Alex under ordinary circumstances. Both my husband and I were touched by his words, and several guests remarked on how wonderful he was. Thank you, Alex, for making our wedding day so special!

y and stress-free, which was exactly what we needed. We wanted a short and sweet ceremony, and Maria completely respected that while still making it feel meaningful and special. On the day of our wedding (5/25/25), she brought such a warm and calming presence. Her words were heartfelt, beautifully delivered, and set the perfect tone for the moment. Even with a simpler ceremony, everything felt just right—genuine and sincere. Maria also went above and beyond with communication, including following up with our marriage license tracking info right after the ceremony. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness really stood out. If you’re looking for an officiant who is both professional and truly lovely to work with, we highly recommend Maria. We’re so grateful she was a part of our day. With gratitude, Emily & Andrew

a video calls during the planning process. At every step of the way, Alex took great care to get to know us and understand what we wanted from our ceremony. On our wedding day, Alex made us feel comfortable right away. He took extra time earlier in the day to walk us through everything, calm our nerves, and answer questions thoughtfully. His ceremony was truly heartfelt, personal, and beautifully delivered. We had numerous guests come up afterward and ask if Alex was a close friend or relative because his words and energy were so genuine and resonated so well. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Alex and Officiant NYC, and we’ll cherish the memory of our ceremony forever. Thank you, Alex, for helping create such a special moment for us!
