I can't tell you what a joy it was to meet Rev. Samora and to have her do a wedding last minute…read more The officiant of the ceremony was unable to get licensed in NYC and we needed someone last minute to do a legal wedding. I knew the moment I heard her calm demeanor on the answering machine that she was the one! She was flexible, worked with us on the details and met us right away. She was unfazed by the rushing around we were doing and held space calmly and compassionately. She took charge in a gentle way, guiding us with great elegance. She did an impromptu ceremony with just four of us in attendance and was just lovely. We were honored to have her work with us. Thank you Rev. Samora for being the epitome of kindness and joy.

Rev. Samora is one of a kind!!…read more We met her at a wedding fair and hired her to be the officiant for our wedding in May/2019. We can hardly put everything in words: Her speeches, her voice tone, the way she made the ceremony so flowy and catchy, her effort, the perfect coordination with every detail we had in mind for our day, everything was just perfect. Most of our guests kept asking for how long had we met her for, since everybody thought we were close friends. Not to mention how she made absolute everyone there (grooms included) bawl out!! She is amazing and would recommend her for anyone looking for authenticity and warmth during the ceremony.

Josie was such a pleasure to work with! She really took the time to get to know my husband and I…read moreprior to creating our own personalized ceremony. My husband and I had a request for Josie to officiate us on 11/12/22, this was the original date we wanted for our wedding but was unable to get. She was so accommodating and officiated for us that day, with this beautiful ceremony passage which included details on why this date was so important to us. She even sent out our marriage license for us! She also officiated our wedding, which was 2 weeks later and had a completely different passage that catered to us and how we met. We received so many compliments on her passage, even from the venue staff. I cannot recommend her enough. She is funny, personable, and just an overall joy to work with! Thank you so much, Josie!

My wife and I had such an easy and pleasant experience working with Rachel. We just got married…read moreback in August and we just can't stop talking about what a kind and caring person she is and how we would not have wanted any other officiant to marry us. She really just makes you feel so at ease during the ceremony and even after. Will be recommending to all family and friends.

My wife and I wed on July 26th 2020 with Reverend Rachel as our officiant. To our surprise her…read moreservices were nothing like the 20 plus page description packet she sent out. She did not give clear instructions and gaslighted us while being held accountable. More tellingly, she announced my wife and I, two women, as Mr. and Mrs. Our parents, friends and family members were shocked and visibly upset. When I asked Rachel about it later on, she did not respond to my text message. Instead she unfollowed my wife on instagram. Days later my wife sent Rachel an email calling her attention to what I already communicated on night of July 26th and sent the email below. I can understand a mistake, but its unethical and unprofessional to not respond or issue an apology. Too, even if this has never happened before, it and you should have held yourself accountable in the moment and issued an apology. However, as hurt and disappointed as I was, I wasn't shocked. As a marginalized African American lesbian woman, I felt betrayed that even on my wedding day, someone could feel that entitled, make a detrimental mistake and still not issue an apology while being paid to perform a service. I would not recommend Reverend Rachel to officiant another wedding. In fact, I strongly recommend that she take a break, a sabbatical to get closer to God.

Very pleased with Selena's services. From the day we contacted her till the day we received our…read moremarriage certificate, she was always responsive to our calls and emails. We met with her to discuss what we were looking for and she was able to deliver it. She emailed us samples of speeches that we were able to chose from. Came on time, took care of all the paperwork and we received our marriage certificates very quickly. Very reasonable priced and highly recommended!

My husband and I loved Joanna. Like, everything about her. During our wedding planning, she was…read moreprofessional, reliable, and friendly. We were clueless in this area, had no idea where to begin in this process, and had presented her with a long list of things we didn't like and a very tiny list of things we did like. While I think we're pretty pleasant people to deal with, I don't think we made this job very easy for Joanna. But it didn't hold her back at all. She did an outstanding job. In the earlier stages of our ceremony planning, there were two questionnaires we had to fill out. One was about our ceremony in general and one was about us as a couple. It was easy enough because it didn't feel like we were writing a wedding ceremony, just that we were answering a survey. No pressure. But ultimately, with our two sets of answers, Joanna wrote us the most perfect ceremony, that we received many, many compliments on. It unforgettable, sweet, anecdotal, funny at times, tear-inducing at other times, 100% "us," and totally different from any other wedding ceremony I have ever heard. I cannot recommend Joanna enough. She was, by far, one of my very favorite wedding vendors and one of the few that, now that my wedding is over, I actually kind of miss! I highly recommend her; you will not be disappointed.

We found The Unruffled bride through Reddit and after seeing so many positive reviews we were…read moreexcited to book them for our wedding! Unfortunately the reality didn't line up at all with what reviewers were saying. After we put down the deposit, Rebecca was virtually impossible to get ahold of, each time giving a different excuse (she disappeared for 2 weeks saying she caught a fever then another week saying her phone was in the shop). I had to ask repeatedly for her to deliver the most basic things (confirmation of the latest plan, a run of show timeline, contact my vendors, literally anything) and she never did, often getting upset with me for even asking. Most of my vendors said they didn't hear a word from her til they met her the day of the wedding. So what should have been a seamless process was all over the place. The day of was worse. They didn't play our song as we walked down the aisle, left the ceremony venue a mess (so much so that my wife and I had to return to clean the venue ourselves the next day), messed up our seating chart despite several emails with super clear instructions and dropped the ball on almost everything we asked them to do. You truly get what you pay for here. Unless you like working on your wedding hire a different coordinator.

Luis was an absolute star day-of coordinator for our wedding day. He fielded our many emails and…read morequestions leading up to the event with kindness and patience, and encouraged us to call or text with any updates as the day drew closer. He created an extremely detailed timeline for our wedding day and coordinated with all vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. On the day of, he kept us on schedule almost down to the minute, and responded to any unexpected events calmly and with professionalism and positivity. He set up our decor just as we'd envisioned (and sometimes even better), and at the end of the night packed it up just as carefully. We especially appreciated how attentive he was to our parents and to our guests with dietary restrictions. Whether it was reworking floral arrangements to create an extra boutonniere just before family photos, or enlisting the venue coordinator to repair our cake topper in the middle of the reception when we thought it was beyond saving, we were consistently impressed with Luis's dedication, resourcefulness, and professionalism. I am naturally a very anxious person, but as soon as I saw Luis in action I knew that I could relax and that he had everything under control. At the end of the night he even personally followed the delivery driver back to our hotel to ensure our decor was returned safely. Many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything ran and how much fun they had. We can't thank Luis enough for going above and beyond to ensure we had a truly enjoyable and memorable wedding!

My husband and I was…read moreset to get married at the end of March only to be hit with the news of the city being lockdown. Thinking we wouldn't be able to get married on the date special to me, I scrambled and did all I could to find an alternative. AMY SAVED THE DAY. Although last minute, she still put time and thought into making our ceremony special. She was caring and genuine and has been there every step of the way. Even up until now, almost 8 weeks later and just receiving my marriage certificate , Amy was there to text, call email to ensure through this rough time in life, things worked out for us. THANK YOU AMY. Will definitely be calling when its time to have our ceremony with family and friends.

Larissa Martell is authentic, down to earth and just wonderfully positive. Her cheerful vibes made…read moreus smile throughout the ceremony. We are happy we chose her as our celebrant (honestly, I knew immediately after interviewing that she was the right fit). We held a small ceremony on a sailboat off Manhattan and Larissa performed a ceremony which reflected us. The process of writing the ceremony was easy and she worked collaboratively to make edits. She was even able to give me recommendations for hair and makeup a few days before the wedding. The day of the ceremony, she went above and beyond and actually helped us to decorate the boat. We think very few officiants would have been so helpful and easygoing. It is clear she enjoys officiating weddings with her constant smiles. I recommend her to anyone who wants a stress free and happy celebrant experience. Larissa is great!

Having Larissa marry us was the easiest and best decision we made. From our very first phone…read moreconversation, we knew she was the one to marry us. Besides her incredible accent, she took her time explaining what a celebrant is/does, the process involved that she takes her clients through and answered any and all questions we had. We knew we wanted our ceremony to be intimate and have our guests feel the incredible love and authentic happiness that we had for each other and Larissa did that and more! Throughout the planning process, Larissa got to know us both as individuals and as a couple. Getting to know who we were, what our story was, and other details about our lives, helped Larissa write an amazing and incredibly touching ceremony script. She captured and told our love story perfectly and even made guests who never shed a tear cry! We may have only known Larissa for a short time while planning the wedding, but it was as if she was our closest friend. Two months later, our guests are still talking about how incredible and sentimental our ceremony was and how they wished they knew Larissa when they had gotten married. We still keep in touch with Larissa and plan to in the future. She truly cares about you and treats your wedding as if it was her own. We cannot thank her enough for making our wedding day and the planning process for the ceremony so memorable. You will not regret choosing Larissa to officiate your ceremony!! She is genuine and professional and incredible at what she does. Your ceremony may only be a small portion of your wedding day, but it is the most important moment of that day and Larissa will ensure that it will be unique, personal, and beyond what you could even envision so that it is perfection.
