I am so happy we chose NY Officiants to marry us! From first contact through follow up, Christopher was amazing every step of the way. He is personable, professional, and a fantastic orator. I found him through Thumbtack and reached out. Within the hour, Christopher responded to my inquiry and set up time to speak with us about what kind of wedding ceremony we were interested in, how personal we wanted it, whether we wanted humor or religion to be part of it, etc. He took the time to explain the process and his style, making sure it matched our expectations and vision. We decided to personalize the ceremony by writing our own vows and adding on the Love Story option. Christopher had us fill out a questionnaire to shed some light on how we met, our relationship, what makes us tick as a couple, and more. From that he crafted the most beautiful and funny narrative for the love story. Our guests loved it and a few of them said they thought Christopher was a friend we had known for years! The ceremony overall was so perfect. Christopher was able to make it sweet, humorous, emotional and serious all rolled into one. People laughed, cried and cheered accordingly. Behind the scenes, Christopher spent time before the ceremony walking us through what to do from beginning to end. He also handled everything related to the marriage license signing to make it all official. We highly recommend Christopher if you are looking for someone who truly understands the importance of the ceremony and who takes great care to make sure it is well executed, super special and tailored just for you.

I can't tell you how happy we are that we used NY Officiants! Countless people asked us afterwards how many years we'd known Christopher - because his ceremony was so filled with humor and love that it seemed like he was a huge part of our lives. He listened to everything we wanted and didn't want and respected it all, along with coming with his own ideas. He explained every step of the way and his love story questionnaire is beyond what I've seen any other officiant provide. We can't imagine having used anyone else for our wedding - he made an already perfect day even better!!

Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 201 - 300 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal

I am absolutely speechless!! If you are looking for an Officiant look no further because Chris is your guy. He made everything extremely easy. He was the least of my worries throughout the entire wedding process and still blew us all away with the ceremony. The way he presented himself along with how well spoken he is just added to everything. He made us laugh just as much as he made us cry! (Happy tears of course). I would have not wanted our ceremony to be any other way. We are forever grateful for Chris! BOOK HIM NOW.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Christopher as our officiant for our intimate wedding and we were absolutely delighted. From the very beginning Christopher was friendly, responsive, and available to answer any questions. Our ceremony was sincerely amazing as Christopher had an amazing heartfelt oration prepared for us. He made it personal, engaging and funny. I absolutely loved everything about our wedding day and I can say without a doubt because of Christopher our day was special!

Christopher was nothing short of perfect. So many people came up to us after the ceremony to tell us how special and sweet it was. The amount of personalization and detail that Christopher included in the ceremony meant so much to us. Christopher even went the extra mile and filmed our entire ceremony. The video was ready just days after the wedding for us to enjoy and it was done so professionally. We couldn't have asked for anything more. I would 10/10 recommend NY Officiants to any couple that wants a unique and beautiful ceremony that everyone will remember.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fee honestly depends on the amount of detail you are looking for and the complexity of your vows.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I ALWAYS set up a phone call because it is a personable experience and getting to actually speak and have an idea of the basic details is vital. Then I ask a few question for example, Where/When/What Time and so forth about your Ceremony. I am SUPER EASY to talk to and work with. Call you will see. 😊
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been in the Wedding Industry for over 15 years as a very well known Master of Ceremonies (MC) and I have been present at hundreds of Ceremonies over my career. I am well known by many catering halls throughout Suffolk/Nassau County. Naturally it was the next step in my Industry to become Ordained and actually Officiate my own Weddings.
