About
I love helping two people come together in a commitment to build their lives together. I want to help customize the service, with traditions and rituals that are meaningful to the couple. Joining couples together is such a joy! I am able to travel within the 5 boroughs of New York City.
I enjoy talking with / meeting with the couple, hearing their stories and helping them create a ceremony that will mark their sacred occasion. Beginning a new life together should be a time of great joy and celebration. I aim to help take away some of the stress in any way I can.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our elopement. Elizabeth was amazing through the whole process, it was incredibly special. Since the first conversation she made me feel so comfortable. She brought warmth and sincerity to the ceremony. It was intimate, sweet, and full of love, exactly what we wanted.
She even helped us with a witness! She talked us through the paperwork and was very communicative about everything we needed…she even fixed my veil for me when it was falling out, such a small thing, but it showed just how kind and thoughtful she is.
We’ll always be grateful for how beautifully she marked such an important moment in our lives. Highly recommend!

We can't say enough about our amazing officiant, Elizabeth! From the very beginning, she made us feel at ease about saying our "I dos," offering valuable guidance and examples to shape our ceremony. On the big day, she was not only punctual but also radiantly happy to be there, which truly added to the joy of the occasion.
Elizabeth led the ceremony flawlessly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyone involved. She made the signing of the paperwork quick and effortless, allowing us to focus on celebrating our love.
If you’re looking for an officiant who is professional, personable, and genuinely invested in your special day, look no further than Elizabeth. We wholeheartedly recommend her—she truly made our wedding unforgettable!

I could not have wished for a better marriage officiant. Elizabeth was just perfect, and I feel so lucky to have found her to officiate my marriage. She is easy going, friendly, professional, punctual, and really a pleasant person all around. The day of the wedding, she was perfectly punctual and she made things so easy for both me and my spouse. She wrote the vows for us, and they were wonderful. You could also see that she has a lot of experience in officiatingweddings and dealing with the related paperwork. In the days before the wedding, she was always quick to reply to my texts, and her attitude was very reassuring (you know the stress we brides to be feel).
I really cannot recommend Elizabet enough!!

Let me tell you. She was the sweetest person I have ever meet. Very patient with us and very understanding. The ceremony was really beautiful. I really loved the vows and I even she'd some tears. I cannot recommend her enough! Please do not think twice to book with this amazing person.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing depends on how many meetings I need to have with the couple and how far I have to travel. I am based in Western Queens, so fairly easy to get anywhere in the city. I do offer a discount for ceremonies in the Astoria area.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We have an email exchange, then a phone call. Details can be hammered out on the phone, or via email and text as well.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have served as the worship and lay leader for my congregation for over 10 years. I have taught Sunday School for children, young adults and adults - and am a Special Education Teacher in a NYC High School.
