OFFICIANT NYC was created in 2007 as a personalized service for couples that wanted to get married by NYC & NJ Officiants. 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 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.
