Introduction

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 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 officiating weddings 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!!

Elizabeth was exactly what we needed for our small ceremony. She was very responsive, communicative, efficient, and easy going. I wouldn’t choose anyone else or ask her to do anything differently. Thank you dear Elizabeth for a magical ceremony.

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.
