Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality.

David was a wonderful choice to have to officiate our wedding! He made the process super streamlined and fun, he also makes sure that everything is in order and double checks throughout the whole process with you to make sure you didn’t change your mind or have a roadblock. He’s also very good at improv for when any situations arise, there was a couple of goofy moments during the ceremony that he was able to improv with, and it made the whole wedding even more special! If you’re looking for an officiant for your wedding, please pick David!

I’m Rev. Lauri, an award-winning interfaith and interspiritual officiant who believes your ceremony should reflect your unique love story. Whether your wedding is spiritual, secular, or somewhere in between, I bring warmth, creativity, and a calming presence to help you feel supported every step of the way. Based in New Jersey and serving the surrounding areas, I specialize in heartfelt, inclusive ceremonies that feel personal, meaningful, and true to you.

Lauri was fantastic to work with and we are so grateful we found her. She was a caring a nurturing presence throughout, was very receptive to our requested changes as we planned the ceremony script, and was clearly motivated by doing what would be right for us. She met with me and my fiance about four times during our wedding planning process to get to know us and modify our ceremony plan/script to what spoke most to us most as a couple. She was knowledgable about a variety of cultural traditions and helped us incorporate the Irish Hand Fasting Blessing into our ceremony, providing us with an everlasting, unique memory and memento (the handfasting chord) of our promises to each other. We received several compliments from our wedding guests about Lauri's ease and professionalism while she officiated our wedding. We highly recommend her! - Tess, May 2025 Bride, Bill Miller's Castle

Rabbi Noyo (Rabbi Sarah Noyovitz) is a warm, inclusive, and creative officiant based in Boston, MA.

Whether you want something simple or symbolic, she will collaborate with you to make it feel deeply “you.” She brings care, clarity, and joy to every celebration and believes your love deserves to be honored with intention.

As a mixed-faith couple seeking an egalitarian Jewish wedding ceremony, we were initially drawn to Rabbi Noyo for her remarkable flexibility and inclusiveness. We really couldn't have been happier with our choice! From the start, Rabbi Noyo made a great effort to get to know us, taking the time to understand our backgrounds, values, and desires for the ceremony. She dedicated an impressive amount of time guiding us through pre-marriage activities (e.g. "life topics" for us to discuss) and detailing the array of possible traditions we might consider integrating into the ceremony -- including both their traditional and more modern/egalitarian variants. It was truly a learning experience working with her! As an officiant, Rabbi Noyo struck a great balance between making the ceremony personable yet traditional, religious yet inclusive. Overall, she was really fabulous to work with, and we couldn't recommend her more highly!

Rabbi Brent Chaim Spodek 

5.0

Beacon, NY
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Connecticut

It’s not 1952 anymore - nobody is scandalized that people live together before marriage, and thankfully, nobody is getting married because single women don’t have economic agency. So what does it mean for a modern couple to get married? We often think in terms of things we won’t do: we won’t leave, we won’t stray. Those are minimum requirements, not aspirations. The question of marriage is what will you do when - inevitably - love feels distant, and you are hurt or disappointed? I work with couples of all faith backgrounds who are as serious about their marriage as they are about their wedding and are ready to address that question.

Rabbi Brent delivered everything we had hoped for (and more!) in a counselor and wedding officiant! Unlike many wedding officiants, Rabbi Brent emphasizes the importance of focusing on the marriage, rather than just the wedding. Rabbi Brent was thoughtful, warm, and insightful, taking the time to blend both of our cultures (Jewish & Indian) with great knowledge and depth, During our relationship counseling sessions, Rabbi Brent provided tools and exercises for us to think deeply about the marriage we were committing to and the type of challenges we may face. We're SO GRATEFUL to have had such a wise and loving guide as we took this important step in our relationship. Finally, we were touched by how many of our guests found the ceremony to be informative, engaging, and hearfelt due to really feeling Rabbi Brent's interest in this work and in us as a couple. We received MANY (unsolicited) compliments about the relatability of both Rabbi Brent and the ceremony itself. We wholeheartedly recommend working with Rabbi Brent to any couples who want to build a strong foundation for their marriage!

Our 2008 marriage ceremony was the best I’ve ever attended (I may be biased). My partner and I created a humorous and meaningful service that fit us perfectly. I want to be able to do the same for you. I am a social worker who is good at highlighting relationships and connections. I’m an attentive listener, and I promise you won’t feel like you’re in a therapy session when we work together. Unless you totally love therapy, in which case, sure, I’ll use my therapist voice. Social workers aren’t usually associated with humor, but I assure you, I am hilarious. I'm also calm, organized, thoughtful & fun.

Josie officiated our wedding in August 2024 and we can’t recommend her enough! She was very personable from the first call, and the ceremony she wrote for us captured our personality and relationship perfectly - humorous, but with our relationship on full display. We had multiple people come up to us telling us it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve experienced! She also handled the paperwork side of things swiftly and easily. Look no further than Josie!

I’m excited for you, and I hope if you're planning a Long Island or New York City wedding, that I can be a part of your very special day. I like to describe myself as a somewhat old-fashioned, minister – someone warm, helpful, caring, and professional. Not somebody weird. I usually meet with you to get acquainted and develop important chemistry – and to discuss all the details so that we avoid any unpleasant wedding day surprises! The content and style of your ceremony is shaped by who you are and what you want. We discuss all the details so you know what to expect, and I know what to do. It's your day. Let’s make it great!

Pastor Bill was an excellent officiant at our wedding, and we are so happy we asked him to officiate our ceremony. Soon after contacting him, he asked us to sit down for a video call so we could get to know each other. After learning a bit about his background, his outlook on religion and spirituality, and his general style as an officiant, we thought he was a great fit for us. Once we agreed to have him as our officiant, Bill gave us an overview of a sample ceremony with many options ranging from very religious to very casual, including options for personal vows and cultural traditions. He was totally willing to help us craft a ceremony that felt authentic to us, and provided very helpful feedback and advice on our draft until it was perfect. On the wedding day, Bill arrived at the venue with time to spare. He was well versed in the process of signing the marriage license and walked us through it. At the ceremony, he spoke loudly, clearly, and with a warm expression. And he stayed for the cocktail hour and spoke with some of our guests, who all told us they enjoyed his conversation. Many thanks again to Pastor Bill, and we hope this serves as our highest endorsement!
