💌 How It Works

Book your date. Once your date is confirmed, I’ll give you a quick call to introduce myself, go over your ceremony details, and answer any questions.
Choose your ceremony style. After our call, I’ll email you a short list of ceremony style options that fit you so you can choose the one that best completes your day.
Get your marriage license. You’ll obtain your license from any New York town or city clerk’s office — it’s valid for 60 days before the ceremony.
Ceremony day. Bring your marriage license with you. I’ll arrive early, guide you through the ceremony, sign the license with your witnesses, and return it to the same clerk’s office that issued it.

FAQ for Wedding Officiate

Yes. I am legally authorized to officiate weddings in New York State as an ordained minister and registered wedding officiant.

My ceremonies are modern, personal, and focused on your relationship — without religious readings, prayers, or faith-based language. If you’re looking for a meaningful ceremony that feels authentic and comfortable, I’m happy to help.
Yes. I work with couples to customize their ceremony and can offer guidance or templates for writing vows, readings, and ceremony structure.
After the ceremony, I complete and return the marriage license to the same clerk’s office that issued it, within the required five business days.
I primarily serve the Hudson Valley, including Orange, Ulster, Sullivan, Rockland, and parts of Sussex County. Extended travel outside these areas may be available for an additional fee.

Yes — I love intimate and spontaneous weddings! As long as you have your valid New York marriage license, I can officiate with short notice when my schedule allows.
Rehearsals are optional and available as an add-on. They’re especially helpful for larger weddings or for couples who want to practice timing and cues ahead of the ceremony.
