Above and Beyond…read more Our daughter's wedding was Saturday 10/1/2022, our driver Billy kept a close eye on the questionable weather coming from Hurricane Ian, he was totally correct about the weathers timing. He walked all of us one by one to bus and church with biggest umbrella ever. Needless to say it didn't rain on us but he was totally prepared. Carmine also took awesome care of the groom and the groomsmen, she was terrific and so professional. While we were in church Billy went to tuxedo shop swapped out the tuxedo pants for my husband, father of the bride(broken zipper) no one ever knew. Seamlessly got 2 pairs, made the situation stress free. Thank you so much for thinking outside the box and helped to avoid an annoying situation. Job well to our drivers!! Thank you!

We…read morehad a really small bridal party, but wanted to include all of our closest people in the getting ready process and getting to and from the church to the venue and we ended up booking the 30 person shuttle. We were able to get family and close friends from our house, to the church and to the venue. They have the best rates I could find and incredible service. John is the owner and is very easy to work with, our driver was named Joe and was incredible. He helped get bags out to the car, helped fluff my train and get me ready to walk down the aisle with my dad while making sure my husband didn't see me on the way. I am so glad I ended up booking Action Limousine because I nearly didn't and it was a great decision.

Mitch the Minister - where do I start? First of all, Mitch hands down delivered such an incredible,…read moreintimate ceremony that so many of our guests believed he was a member of our family - that is just how personal and fitting his beautiful reading was. Mitch has an incredible personality with the rare ability to deliver both a touching (not a dry eye in the house) and light-hearted, funny ceremony. Our families and guests are raving about how perfect it was and we have to agree. What a kind, thoughtful man who truly loves what he does. As a same sex couple, it was very important for us to find someone who would accept us and treat us like any other loving couple, and Mitch was all of that and more. He truly made us feel special and made our ceremony unforgettable, personal, and magical - no other words to describe it :) Thank you so much Mitch! Love, Greg & Tom

She was…read moreincredibly diligent and thoughtful in getting to know us--our backgrounds, our love story, and most importantly, our vision for the big day. Aretha truly listened and made sure every detail we hoped for was respected and seamlessly incorporated into the ceremony. Her guidance throughout the process was clear, calm, and always reassuring. Aretha made herself available for any questions or concerns, and her professionalism and warmth never wavered. On the day of our wedding, she executed everything flawlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Our guests could not stop raving about how beautifully Aretha led the ceremony. She told our story with such heart and authenticity--it felt personal, intentional, and unforgettable.

From our introduction call she was nothing but professional, polite, informative and overall just a very down to earth person. After our initial call, we both felt that she was the perfect match for us. There were a lot of aspects around the planning of the ceremony that we were unsure of and Aretha took her time informing us of what is traditionally done versus what we could do to match our own style. Unlike other officitants, Aretha is very involved in the planning process, ensuring that we fill out questionnaires to ensure that every part of our ceremony was personalized. She took our story and told them in her own unique way. We loved that she emphasized the importance of a rehearsal which ultimately led us to booking her for that as well which we did not regret. Our bridal party absolutely loved how comfortable she made everyone feel (even when dealing with a not so nice venue staff). When we thought we had everything down packed, she made us run through everything one more time just to ensure we looked flawless. My father was extremely nervous but after the rehearsal he was confident in his role and it showed the day of the wedding. During the ceremony, she was so well spoken and told our love story perfectly. Our guests were laughing and crying tears of joy. We got so many compliments on how great Aretha was -everyone wanted to know, "How did you two find her??". I will not be surprised if we go to a friend's wedding and see Aretha walk down that aisle. Thank you so much Aretha! -Mr. and Mrs. Jean Simon

Her husband, Harvey, also accompanied her and passed out bubbles and programs to our guests which was so unbelievably sweet and generous. We were very happy with the value we received, the communication throughout our entire planning process, and the professionalism across the board.

Leading up to the date I was slightly concerned about using services from people I never met. We arrived in NY on a Thursday picked up our marriage certificate on Friday and ended our weekend away with our wedding on Sunday. I can honestly say working with Alex and Joan made our weekend that much better. From the moment they arrived they took care of everything. My bouquet was everything I wanted. Since it was just the two of us Alex understood our desire to keep the ceremony short and sweet. Joan then took us on a tour of Central Park capturing the best pictures I could have imagined. He also regaled us with stories about the park and which movies/tv shows were filmed in different sections. Only our immediate family knew that we got married so I wanted to create an announcement right away. By the end of the day of our ceremony Joan had provided me with 15 sneak peek images to use for the announcement. About 2 weeks later we had the full gallery of images to choose from and create our Video slideshow. I took my time to select the right images for the video and song. I received the slideshow today and I am in awe of how perfect it is. I will cherish this video for years to come as watching it brought me back to the exact emotions I was feeling during the ceremony. Many thanks to Alex and Joan for everything you did to make our day fantastic.

Alexandra was very helpful during the rushed 3 week process. She was responsive and never let me hanging with any questions I had. She also let my husband and I put together our owe vows and was 100% supportive of all changes made. Joan was no different. He was definitely the best photographer we could ask for. He spotted us before we spotted him! Alas! He was shooting photographs of us the moment we entered our ceremony site! Very upbeat, professional, warm-hearted and just overall a great experience. What really struck us as amazing service was the way Joan worked around my husband's injury and still produced excellent photos. Even though my husband was in pain and not in a great mood which forced us to cut our session short, he did an awesome job working with us to make things right. Would not ask for anything more! Thanks again for everything, we have already shared our wonderful experience with everyone we know and would only want others to experience the amazing service we witnessed.
