OFFICIANT NYC was created in 2007 as a personalized service for couples that wanted to marry in and out of the New York City area. It is a company that was built with the mindset of Love & Respect for all couples who wanted to intimately marry and celebrate their stories.

We created a team of reliable professionals that demonstrate passion & commitment to honor couples that want unique & memorable ceremonies, as well as ‘Celebration of Life’ ceremonies for our loved ones who have passed.

We love what we do. Our officiants come from different backgrounds with varied experience in Theatre, Film, TV and Public Speaking. We know how to fill a room with passion, energy & love.

This is not just a ‘gig’ to us.
