Our wedding was this last Sunday 5/28/23 and Chris from NYOfficiants officiated our ceremony! Chris was the man in charge. He took care of every detail with professionalism and care. His diligence in coaching us through the process cannot be understated. We requested to perform a unity cross and Chris sent us his rendition of it and made the adjustments we requested immediately and made sure it was how we wanted it. Guests have told us that they felt entranced in his storytelling and made us feel as if we were in a fairytale. If you want your fairytale wedding definitely use NYOfficants and Chris.

Our day would not have been the same without Chris. Everyone one was taken back by the amazing poem which made me cry. He went above and beyond for us. He joined us out at sea and was ready rain or shine. His words touched everyone from smiles to laughter to tears. Not all of the family could make it so we are having another small ceremony and I am excited to have Chris with us again. Thank you Chris, looking forward to seeing you in July.

Chris was exceptionally amazing. My husband and I were planning our vow renewal from overseas and Chris was extremely patient and understanding of our situation and the time difference. He kept communication open and he responded rapidly, whether it was by text, email or a phone call.We had a full scale ceremony with the Love Story and highlight reel added. The love story was wayyyy better than we ever imagined. He included every little detail that meant a lot to my husband and myself. The love story not only WOWed the crowed, by my husband and myself were pretty impressed. The highlight reel allows us to relive this very important day over and over and over again.Chris was phenomenal. He made a great contribution to a day we will forever remember. 10 stars in my book💍

Minister Christopher captured our journey in an eloquent story that had our loved ones in tears and laughter. He was so attentive to the questionnaire to ensure that he truly represented us and our journey in his speech. Allowing us to relive our experiences brought us both to tears and truly solidified how we transitioned to our wedding day. Our loved ones got an even deeper glimpse into us as a duo, showing them our love really did conquer all. The way in which he structured and executed his speech was absolutely beautiful. He emphasized key points and gave us opportunities to reflect on the moments that touched us the most. He represented Ashley and Benjamin in words and could not have done it any better myself. We are beyond grateful for Minister Christopher. He has amazing time management and communication skills. Additionally, he is extremely professional, kind, funny, and thoughtful. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. We are forever grateful and highly, highly recommend Minister Christopher!

When choosing an officiant for our wedding we didn’t want to have to compromise any of our must haves - we had interviews with different officiants but they just didn’t seem like the right fit and we didn’t want to pick someone who was just doing their job. We wanted someone who was going to actually be present in the moment with us and be a part of that magical moment.When we found NY Officiants we were so relieved and we knew we had finally found the perfect officiant for our wedding ceremony. Christopher was enthusiastic and didn’t try to make us compromise any of our must haves for our ceremony. He also guided us with a complete breakdown of our vision and how to successfully implement these desires with our DJ and venue to ensure a smooth ceremony. It was such a wonderful feeling to talk to an officiant that not only heard us but went back and forth with us through every detail to ensure we were all on the same wavelength. He was fully present for what we anticipated was going to be a moment and instead Christopher helped turn our wedding ceremony into an exciting experience for all our guests! NY Officiants goes above & beyond for their clients and all their guests!!!

Christopher was phenomenal!! He was incredibly kind, flexible, and a great listener! We requested his services pretty late in the game but he was still able to accommodate all of our needs and talked about our love story perfectly!! Christopher made us feel at ease about the marriage license process and he is always cracking jokes which we appreciated during this overwhelming time. Thank you Christopher for an amazing ceremony!!

Chris is an amazing officiant! He is truly an enrapturing speaker and had our whole crowd engaged in our love story. It was a great mix of humor and intimacy. All of our guests said how wonderful it was and raved about how personal the story was. Truly 5 stars. Easy to communicate with and fun!

If you are looking for an officiant to give you a ceremony to remember, for a love story that tells your guests all about your relationship from the very beginning including all your favorite memories, then you MUST book with NY Officiants!!!!!Our consultation was great and super easy to book! Chris was very flexible with our time frame given my fiancé working nights and myself working early mornings. We even had a hiccup where we wound up not being available last minute given an emergency and he accommodated us no problem! When speaking with Chris over the phone he walked us through all the steps of the ceremony and made it feel so simple! This helped with our stress and anxiety, and his explanation really helped! He walked us through his website over the phone and explained everything they offered and how they work. We were able to read reviews right from their website (just like how I’m writing now) and man did it really draw me in to see all the positivity from past weddings and very recent weddings as well!We were unable to have Chris be our officiant as he had a prior obligation, but he assured us that after he read our love story form he will pair us up with whom he thought would do our story justice… and boy did he hit the nail on the head! We got paired with Mark and he was amazing!!! We had the opportunity to video chat or set up a phone call with Mark prior, but I had so much faith that I didn’t feel like it was necessary. (Plus things were so stressful in other areas which needed my full attention). Chris and Mark at the NY Officiants knew what they were doing and their confidence gave me all the confidence in the world and outright trust and faith in them. I never needed to reach out to Chris either, he always contacted me when there was an update for something! He basically held our hands through the entire process!!I cannot express how magical our ceremony was. My fiancé and I were crying at some parts, laughing at others, and just felt outright love during the rest. We chose the love story option with Chris during our consultation. He personally writes all of the love stories with the form you supply… and oh my gosh was it perfect!!! They way he told our story was as if he was there witnessing it himself. Our friends and families were in awe and found out new details about our relationship (even those who thought they already knew everything). There were parts in the story that I forgot I had mentioned and when I heard it I was stupidly shocked and thought “oh my gosh how did he know that” and then remembered… “oh wait I told him”. Chris had written it so well and Mark spoke it so well at the ceremony that it felt like I was being told my story through there eyes. The amount of family and friends brought to tears was shocking! Especially certain people I would never have thought would have cried did!During the receiving line and reception everyone was complimenting our officiant and telling us how amazing the ceremony was. How it was romantic, but also funny at times and even some somber moments. My fiancés aunt and cousin were still talking about the ceremony the next day! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience… it truly was the ceremony of our dreams!!Thank you so much Chris and Mark for an amazing and stress free experience as our officiants!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You cannot go wrong with this group!!!

We had the pleasure of working with Christopher at NY Officiants for our intimate ceremony this past weekend. We contacted him just a few weeks before our celebration and he got back to us immediately to schedule a call to walk us through the process and get to know us. In just a short phone call, Christopher was able to get a true understanding of not only our love for one another but for our individual personalities as well. The ceremony that he wrote and performed was so personal, so sentimental and completely customized to what we were looking for. We are thrilled with our decision to use NY Officiants for our wedding ceremony. 10/10 recommend!

Chris was absolutely amazing! He told the perfect story of us and kept our guests engaged. He was timely, well spoken, kind, and very professional. Before the wedding started, he walked us through everything and made it so simple for us. He put everything together so well, which helped my wife and I be at ease and not have to think about a thing. 20/10 recommend!

We used Christopher for his “meet and greet” service. He met us at my parents’ home and gave a lovely and professional ceremony for us. It was quick and easy, while maintaining the feeling of a true ceremony.

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 takes great care to make sure it is well executed, super special and tailored just for you.

Christopher did our ceremony and it was a dream. Leading up to the ceremony he was very informative, explained everything and was so personable, he made us feel like family that I knew forever. The ceremony was great and went so smooth. We are so happy we landed with NY officiants to help us tie the knot.

My friend married us and I learned (thru this page) that it may not be considered legal on LI a little over 2 weeks before the wedding. I reached out to Christopher at NY Officiants and he was so insanely sweet! He called me the day after I sent a request online and spoke to me for some time. I got married at GIorgio’s at 4:30 and he had a wedding in the Rockaways at 2 that day. He knew my husband and I weren’t doing our first look until 1 so he FaceTimed him while he was sitting with me! He was so sweet and insanely helpful that day. After I hired him, I told my friend who’s getting married in October to hire him, since we have the same friend marrying us!! ♥️

My fiancée and I chose to do a very low key, simple ceremony to make our marriage official: we actually went to a Starbucks and had the barista as our witness as Chris said our vows! It was official by the time our lattes were made. Stress-free is the way to be! We were so pleased with how quick and easy it was to book with Chris, he is so responsive, professional, and knowledgeable on the process that it made us feel comfortable and made the experience an extremely positive one. Chris is so friendly and easy to talk to-it’s as if you have been friends with him for years and he listens to what you want your day to be like. Chris definitely cares about the couples he officiates and is married himself so he understands what an exciting time this is. If we do a vow renewal years later, I’d pick Chris again!

Christopher officiated our wedding on 7/11/21, our ceremony was better than we could’ve ever imagined! He was very responsive throughout the process and made us feel comfortable walking through all the details of our ceremony beforehand. He made sure our requests on a spiritual ceremony were included, but also kept it very fun! We highly recommend Christopher!

I highly recommend Chris as your officiant! He made the process SO easy from our first interaction. Not only was he on time, charismatic, communicative, and professional, he made our ceremony so unique, creating a personalized love story that painted such a beautiful picture of our relationship. I loved that he encouraged our guests to stay involved, making everyone laugh (but not overly so-the perfect balance of humor and sentiment which is exactly what we were looking for). All of our guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was, so thank you Chris for making our day that much more special and filled with love 🙂

I highly recommend Christopher if you are in need of an officiant. He made the trip out to Montauk to marry us. The entire process went smoothly and efficiently. Christopher took the time to ensure we had everything needed from the marriage license to the days leading up to the ceremony and most importantly the day of. His charisma and ability to tell our love story felt as if he knew us all along. He truly loves what he does and is a true professional! Thank you Chris!

Christopher did an amazing job for my wife Paige and I on our special day. Christopher was on time, and handled everything for us from the moment he got there.

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing the experience was! Christopher was very detail oriented. He performed a wonderful ceremony. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house (zoom). His Love Story ceremony was so impactful, numerous members at our reception kept bringing up how incredible he was and how smooth everything went. It was as if a close friend officiated our wedding because his aura and vibe made it seem as if we’d known him forever. We will never EVER forget how magical our day was thanks to you Christopher! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Chris was wonderful! He was professional, fun, entertaining and thoughtful. We had a small ceremony on the beach and he took the time to help us prepare, arrived an hour early and stayed to mingle with the group after. He made all of the guests (and us) laugh, cry and cheer us on. My wife and I would highly recommend using him. You won't be disappointed.

Chris was very detailed in letting pick and choose what we wanted to do for the ceremony but he threw out good ideas and even with the information given felt like he was reading chapters in our lives. Honestly felt like a best friend was officiating the wedding instead of a random stranger. He was polite and nice to all the guests and legit the funniest Officiant I have ever witnessed. He made us laugh, smile and cry. As the Groom he eased my worries and made sure I wasn't a nervous wreck. Top Notch and Triple A Plus. Highly Recommend ! Thanks Chris😁

I highly recommend anyone to use Chris to use for their wedding ceremony. With less than 24 hours to my wedding day officiant tested positive for COVID and had to back out from marrying my husband and I. I am beyond grateful that I was able to find Chris and hire him for our ceremony. With such a short turn around he was able to work both quickly and professionally. I honestly could not be happier with how everything went after meeting him and I would highly recommend him to anyone getting married!

Me and my fiancé have been engaged for 3 years. A series of events, including Covid have delayed our marriage. We decided last minute that we were not going to let anything stop us any more and I remembered an old friend from high school who is now marrying people. I called Chris and he not only answered immediately but married us that weekend. He was very professional and accommodating during these tough times. We would recommend Chris’ services to anyone! Thanks again Chris!

Melissa Gordon

Chris far exceeded our expectations. We saw copious positive reviews, but what we got was even better than we'd hoped. My husband and I are very playful, and Chris was able to capture both the seriousness of a marital union as well as the humorous, more silly side of a loving couple. Without knowing us closely, he took every ounce of our phone conversation and created a love story for our ceremony that had our families both laughing and tearing up. We are grateful for the experience that he created. The ceremony was special, and everyone was full of compliments about Chris. One guest even asked how long we'd been friends with him. We highly recommend Chris for a meaningful memory of a very important day.

Husband:
Christopher you are the man!!! A review is not enough to justify the professionalism, energy, attentiveness, knowledge, friendliness, and joy Christopher dedicates to his craft. Christopher you are God sent thank you for all you did to help myself and my wife become one. Christopher is exceptional at what he does, I truly believe he was born/called to be an officiant. I reached out to a few officiants on Thumbtack before connecting with Chris they all never got back to me. His responsiveness was exceptional from the first contact we exchanged numbers and began speaking as though we knew each other for years. I loved the way he guided myself and my wife throughout this process as we had no idea the way things were supposed to go. This process of officiating a wedding virtually is new due to the pandemic but, it seems like he's been doing it for years. We had a last minute virtual on Aug 31 after setting things up for Sept 12. Christopher still followed through on our ceremony on the 12th even though we were already married thanks for being thoughtful. He took time to know our story probably 1hr 30mins speaking to us on the phone. This story was the highlight of the wedding talking about how we met etc it was beautiful. Thanks again Chris you're super super awesome.
Wife:
I truly enjoyed working with Chris for this special day we will always remember. He was kind, helpful and available to all our questions. He is also very flexible because ceremonies don't always go as planned but he was very courteous about it . I especially cherished the time he took to learn about us and our love story; that made the ceremony a thousand times more personal and filled with love. His energy and background made him the perfect person to officiate our union. Thank you again!
