I heard from so many guests how amazing and moved they were by the ceremony. Every part of it was tastefully done and truly moments my husband and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.

There was not a dry eye in the house. I'm so happy to have had her as a part of our wedding day and I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much Andrea!

He made sure everyone knew where they needed to be, what to expect, and helped everything flow smoothly on the day of our wedding. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to all of our requests truly made a difference. Alex went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony was exactly what we envisioned, and we're so grateful to have had him be such an important part of our special day.

It looks like he has changed his name on here to avoid the bad reviews but I will post my review…read morehere as well Rev Leslie through his unprofessionalism, rudeness and complete apathy came very close to ruining the happiest day of my life. My wife and I were married in October of 2011. In the summer of 2011 we started looking for someone to perform the ceremony. I found Rev. Leslie on the internet and contacted him. He called me and I told him about my then fiancee and myself. We set up a meeting and he stated that he would write vows just for us. About a week later we met him at his apartment and we told him more about ourselves. We told him we were getting married out on Long Island (Centerport). He stated he was unfamiliar with the area and we told him its in Suffolk by Huntington. He said he knew huntington as he and his wife had looked at a house there years ago. He then read us the vows he had written and while they were nice they were very generic and could have been for anyone and just plugged our names in. He then told us the price which was $600. We thought this was high since we had seen people who would do it for half that but we were asking him to travel out to Long Island and he seemed nice so we gave him $100 deposit and left thinking we had someone to perform the ceremony and could now stress about other things in the very stressful process that is getting married. We were scheduled to be married on Friday the 7th. On Monday night, the 3rd, my wife gets a message on her cellphone from an outwardly upset and borderline hostile and rude Rev. Leslie stating that he doesnt know where this place is and doesn't know how is going to get out there so WE need to figure it out. Now my I'm thinking he had more than 3 months to figure out how to get there and call us with questions or concerns and hasn't but he calls 3 days before well thats weird. So i call him back, my wife is to upset to. He states that he was unaware of where this place was (we told him three months ago where it was and he seemed fine then) and didnt know how he was going to get there. I told him that there is a train that goes close and then its a 5 min cab ride. He then asks who was going to pay for this. I took a 2 seconds, literally, to compose myself and think since it was out of the blue and I thought this was all agreed upon and before I can answer he states that since I have to think about it he wants no further dealings with me and hangs up. I inform my wife and she breaks down in tears. She then calls him after she composes herself and offers him $75 for transportation (the actual total for 4 cabs and two train tickets was $71 but we rounded up.) He then states that that wont be enough and he doesn't like our attitudes anyway. Now neither one of us were anything but nice to him, we were both upset but not in an angry way in a paniced way since we only had three days (Tues, Wed and Thurs) to get everything together and now we might have to find someone else to officiate. We inform him that we looked up how much it will cost and he then said if we were going to "nickel and dime" him he wanted no further dealings with us but he would return out deposit out of the goodness of his heart. Now first of all he was aware of the location of the wedding from the beginning and should have, and in my understanding at the time did, include that in his $600 fee. Secondly he had three months to ask for transportation fees and waited till the last minute to ask for them. He then wanted more than the actual cost of transport. Then he acts as if he is doing us a favor by returning the deposit, even though as the one who broke the contract​ this is his obligation. We did eventually find someone to perform the ceremony. The ceremony was prewritten since he did not have time to write something since he only had two days(he couldnt meet us till Tuesday night) The prewritten ceremony was by the way very similar to the "custom written" one that Rev. Leslie did for us and even had the same Apache prayer. Also this new person was cheaper even on short notice. In my experience Rev. Leslie was rude and unprofessional and was very opportunistic as to when he asked for more money and obviously had some other reason for not wanting to do it that came up suddenly and instead of saying that and offering to recommend someone else who could do it he fabricated a reason. I would not recommend utilizing him and if you already have booked him to be very cautious in all dealings with him.

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.

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.
