We recently got married in Central Park’s Cop Cot and Alex was our officiant. He was outstanding! He crafted a beautiful message that was heartfelt, poignant and humorous in all the right places. And his delivery? Oh, my goodness! It was pitch-perfect! He barely glanced at his notes but rather spoke to us and to the crowd. It was like we were old friends or longtime congregants and he a pastor/priest at a church. However, we were not surprised. We could see being friends with Alex under ordinary circumstances. Both my husband and I were touched by his words, and several guests remarked on how wonderful he was. Thank you, Alex, for making our wedding day so special!

Jackie Reinking New York Elopement Officiant

  • Offers 10 ceremony types

  • Serves New York, NY

I believe that a wedding ceremony should be more than just words. It should feel like home. A moment so personal and full of love that it stays with you forever. That’s what I create for every couple I marry. I’m not just an officiant - I’m your friend, your guide, and your biggest cheerleader. I’ll be there to steady your nerves, share a laugh, and remind you to soak it all in. Because your love story is one-of-a-kind, and your ceremony should be too.

Researching our honeymoon destination, we stumbled across photos on the web taken by Jackie’s husband, Sascha, which led us to Jackie. So inspired were we by TeamReinking, we decided to put our complete trust in them and elope from Australia to NYC. We had literally just booked our wedding in Australia. Jackie was so easy to work with and we connected with her via emails and then the moment we met in person (literally just before our ceremony). Jackie helped us create the most beautiful ceremony in April 2023 at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, NYC. A special moment in time filled with shared promises, love, laughter and quite a few tears. It was an emotional day for us that had been 12 years in the making. Jackie is simply a delight and it was easy for us to just be ourselves in that moment. My husband is still talking about our beautiful ceremony with Jackie by our side. I think he’s your number 1 fan, Jackie!!! Our photos (taken by Sascha) are beyond stunning and the memories of our day and ceremony we will cherish forever. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Tick this one off your list, celebrant and photographer sorted!! I’d give a 6 star rating if I could!! Ps I think my husband is already planning for us to renew our vows in the future with TeamReinking!!

Ever been to a wedding and found the ceremony to be boring or it just felt like the Officiant didn't know the couple? We created our company with one goal in mind; to ensure your Wedding Ceremony is fun, memorable and funny. It is YOUR big day after all. So let's make sure the ceremony reflects why you are! We specialize in creating personalized, funny and memorable ceremonies that reflect the journey the couple has taken together. We meet with you several times before your ceremony. We will design your ceremony from start to finish and provide you with a minute by minute timeline of what will happen that day.

My husband and I first met Jason and his amazing wife Romney while attending a wedding vendors event in Long Island in 2023. We immediately hit it off with them and knew right away that Jason was the perfect choice to officiate our October 2024 ceremony. Through many ups and downs, including changing our venue twice and ultimately deciding on a simple ceremony, Jason was a constant source of support. He provided not only practical advice but also much-needed counseling and laughter during a time when we were struggling. His kindness and lightheartedness made the entire process smoother. This past Tuesday, Jason officiated our small, intimate ceremony surrounded by our loved ones. The day was filled with joy and laughter, and Jason played a huge part in making it truly special. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as part of our journey, and we cannot thank him enough for being such an important part of our big day!

We felt so comfortable talking to her and knew she was going to be just perfect for officiating our special day. Our ceremony was at the peak of a heat wave in the middle of Central Park and Dani was so professional and read such a thoughtful, personal monologue about what is important to us and special about each other.

From the first moment Juan Enrique called me, he was incredibly attentive and committed to us, taking the time to connect with us and personalize the ceremony according to our stories, wishes, and values. His manner of speaking is warm, authentic, and deeply emotional, which made our ceremony a unique and unforgettable moment. What impressed us most was when he officially introduced us as husband and wife… my husband said, “I loved everything, but even more so when he said, ‘You are officially married,’ like screaming, with such passion, that impacted me even more. I wanted to cry.” The way Juan managed to convey the true meaning of love, commitment, and unity, touching the hearts of everyone present was impressive. Without a doubt, his participation was fundamental in making our day even more special than it already was. It worth every penny! If you are looking for an officiant who will not only conduct the ceremony, but will also make it vibrate with emotion and meaning, not only for the bride and groom, but for everyone present… don’t hesitate to choose him.

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div. is a pastor, marriage counselor and best-selling author on relationships. Lawrence specializes in marriage counseling and one-on-one spiritual advisory. He approaches his guidance in a biblically based, structured, relatable, and systematic manner, with clear owned outcomes and next steps. Lawrence will guide you through the wedding planning process with warmth, intentionality and clarity. Lawrence offers a wide array of services to guide you through your wedding and beyond. He provides both wedding officiating services and vow renewals, as well as pre-marital counseling and ongoing marriage counseling.

My husband and I worked with Pastor Lawrence for a year of faith-based pre-marital counseling and had an amazing experience. We, like many couples, went into our first session thinking we’d already discussed the most important topics and we’d maybe need to do 3 formal pre-marital counseling sessions. Our first session was so impactful that we immediately decided that we wanted a full year of counseling. That decision, we believe, completely changed the trajectory of our marriage. Pastor Lawrence asked difficult, thought-provoking questions that helped us see our relationship (with each other and with God) in new ways, and each session left us feeling better equipped for marriage than we ever expected. His depth of knowledge, approachability, and ability to guide meaningful, relevant conversations aimed at aligning us as one—even when we thought we had nothing new to discuss—was truly a gift. We are so grateful for the wisdom and encouragement he poured into us throughout this process and would highly recommend him to any couple who is looking to build a strong, Christ-centered foundation going into their marriage.

Hey, Are you about to celebrate something extraordinary in your life? Look no further than me to officiate your wedding ceremony. I am not just a Wedding Officiant; I am what you call a Master Celebrant. It is a more extensive term that shows my dedication to my craft, creating custom ceremonies for each couple. Hiring me will ensure I will help you create your whole ceremony with you from start to finish. As your "Third Wheel Specialist," I work with you to show off your unique love story. I'm here to make that moment you never want to forget memorable. Life is about exploring and embracing all this world has. Let me help tell your story.

It has been a longtime dream of mine ever since I saw Gossip Girl to have a iconic moment in NYC. With me going absolutely crazy with my best friend and fiancé in SoHo, Tribeca and all of the spots. I thought it would always be cool to get married in the winter but I decided I am more of a spring girly. So my fiancé suggested we do elopement when we go to NYC in May for our 4 anniversary. I that that was a wonderful idea, but I wanted a big fancy wedding. He said we can do both because he knew the wedding was going to be really expensive. So I did some research and that's how I found Crafting Soulful Stories. Charles was so warm and funny and gelled with my fiancé and I Zack. I knew he would be the perfect officiant for my big day. He helped planned the ceremony to absolute perfection. Also him and Zack surprised me with both of our parents to come to our ceremony. Charles made sure to included some inside jokes and many touching remarks about Zack's and I's story. I stress that everyone that lives in New York or visiting the city and getting married that Charles should be your officiant. He has such a way with words, and he made me cry. He is the best, so I absolutely recommend Crafting Soulful Stories. P.S. Zack is not slick he is still going to give me my Big Gay Wedding in 2025.

I proudly officiate weddings for all couples, including LGBTQ+ couples, and believe that love—in all its forms—is something to be celebrated openly and joyfully. I love love, and there’s nothing more fulfilling to me than helping people mark one of the most important moments in their lives with sincerity and joy.

John was simply outstanding. He customized the ceremony based on our conversation with him. His words perfectly captured our feelings for each other and made our wedding unique and memorable event!
