Introduction: I personalize each ceremony that I perform to reflect the individuality of each couple.
I love being a wedding officiant! It's an honor and a blessing to be part of someone's "love story".
I live and officiate in NJ but am also fully licensed to officiate in NY. I have officiated many times on Staten Island, in Manhattan, and also on Liberty Island by our glorious Lady Liberty! Sadly, at this time, I am not traveling to Manhattan to officiate... but I will gladly officiate on Staten Island!
Aside from Officiant, I am also a Pediatric Nurse, currently working as a school nurse at The Waldo School in Downtown Jersey City. I work September thru June, Mon-Fri 8:00am-4:00pm. Although my business hours reflect this, I am available to discuss officiating for you during my lunch break, on weekdays when schools are closed for holidays or breaks, and of course after those hours and on weekends! I have also been successfully fingerprinted and passed numerous background checks.

Cathy you are above amazing. I could not have asked for more. I literally had to stop myself from crying everything from the vows, convenience, timing, professionalism was beyond anything I had in mind you can tell it was not rushed and just thrown together. I am truly blessed to have found Cathy and will definitely refer her to anyone I know. I am glad I trusted her to do what she does and a great job was done. I'm very happy and thank you Cathy from me and my family you are wonderful.

Cathy was excellent to work with! Our officiant “dropped us” about a month before our wedding date due to a conflict and we luckily found Cathy. She was very responsive, delivered a personalized ceremony listening to what we wanted, and was fantastic to work with. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Cathy!
