Christopher Shelley/Illuminating Ceremonies 
Rating: 5.0 (76 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Offers 7 ceremony types
  • Serves Fresh Meadows, NY

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

“We truly can’t say enough good things about Chris Shelley. He made our ceremony unforgettable—genuine, heartfelt, and so uniquely us. From the very beginning, Chris took the time to get to know us, and it showed in every word he spoke. The stories he told captured our relationship perfectly, striking the perfect balance of sincerity and humor. He had our guests both laughing and tearing up at the same time. So many people came up to us after the ceremony—not just to say how much they loved it, but to ask for Chris’s contact info to pass along to their family and friends. While many ceremonies can feel long or impersonal, Chris created an environment that truly brought everyone together in an engaging and meaningful way.”

“Working with Jackie Reinking, the New York Elopement Officiant, was an absolute joy. Her communication throughout the process was timely, informative and reassuring. The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly second to none. Jackie helped keep my husband calm as he waited for me during our first look, and she also expertly managed the young passers-by who were eager to watch our ceremony. It felt like having a close friend officiate our wedding. Jackie wrote a beautiful ceremony tailored to us as a couple, incorporating readings we had chosen. The entire ceremony was so much fun and really special. Being from the UK, the process of securing our marriage license would have been overwhelming, but Jackie broke it down into simple steps and made the experience feel like an adventure. We are so grateful to Jackie for helping make our wedding day perfect in every way.”

Hi, I’m Staci, the heart behind Marley Loves Drew. I believe wedding ceremonies should feel personal, meaningful, and truly reflective of the couple standing in front of me. With a background in nonprofit leadership and volunteer engagement across New York, I’ve spent my career helping people connect with what matters most—and weddings are one of life’s most beautiful moments to do exactly that. Whether your ceremony is intimate or lively, spiritual or non-religious, I work closely with couples to craft a ceremony that feels natural, heartfelt, and memorable for everyone present.

“My wife and I had planned on rushing down to City Hall to "just get it done!" Our marriage license expiration date was coming up, and we didn't want to have to go through the whole rigmarole with the county clerk and all of that again. So our wedding was unfortunately going to be boring, basic, and look as closely to a non-event as possible. But then we found Staci. Much to our surprise, not only did we find someone to officiate our wedding--something she did with an unparalleled combination of humor, and grace, but she took on the mantle of wedding planner that we so very badly needed. In a matter of days Staci helped give me and my wife the wedding that we didn't even know we'd always dreamed of! You cannot possibly go wrong by having her help you with yours.”

“Alex officiated our wedding and completely exceeded every expectation we had. He crafted a bilingual ceremony in English and Spanish that wasn't just translated—it was genuinely written in both languages, using each for what it expresses best. It was beautiful for our English-speaking guests and meaningful in an entirely different way for our Spanish-speaking family and friends. His entire approach was romantic, personal, and our guests were blown away. He kept the focus entirely on love and on us as a couple, creating a ceremony that was inclusive and joyful without ever losing sight of what the day was really about. As two grooms, it meant everything to have someone who honored our relationship with such care and intention. I've been to a lot of weddings. I have never heard so many guests spontaneously rave about an officiant the way they did about Alex. Weeks later, people are still bringing it up. He is the real deal.”

Hey, I’m Tiara — your modern, non- denominational officiant known for vibrantly authentic ceremonies rooted in heart, humor, and soulful storytelling. I don’t just officiate, I lead. Through story-led ceremony design and a mic-drop delivery, I bring your guests into your love story in a way that feels effortless, elevated, and entirely yours.

“One of the best services I've ever hired (and best for this industry!) Tiara is such a wonderful professional that really changed my opinions on such services. Her lavish hospitality for her Royal Treatment will make you feel like you're truly Royalty! (Granted you are of your own life, but this service is top tier!) I was skeptical at first and adding another cost on a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but I truly felt Royal Treatment with Tiara was worth every penny and more! She took us through a process where she really got to know us as a couple, as individuals, and listened attentively to the details of our wedding vision. We could tell right away that she actually cared and was thankful to be chosen by us and to work together. And as she went through her process... we went through some of our favorite moments, and in some ways, fell in love with our love all over again. During wedding planning that love is surely there as we all know, but Tiara has a gift of bringing us back to the best of us and really getting you into those loving positive feelings. It was really cool! Then with the ceremony and planning phases, Tiara was so knowledgable and resourceful. She really could pick up what we were putting down, having a traditional ceremony with a more spiritual feel. She was also versed in all the religious traditions in our area which was really cool; knowledgable and reliable. She knew what we wanted, which made it easier to plan and talk through as we refined it to our exact wishes. Tiara responded quickly, in detail, and helped resolve any small things we asked her help with. She had a wonderful schedule for us to check in and follow through with that made our day of seamless. Our event coordinators and on site coordinators gave very favorable remarks and loved working with her too. The Royal Treatment was easy to work with other vendors. All with a smile and genuine pleasant attitude. Tiara is a wonderful soul and my wife and I truly am so grateful to her and her services. We weren't quite sure what to expect and thought it would be a pre-scripted thing and "oh this money for that", but once we experienced her as a vendor, we may go as far to say she undercharges! Because it was that meaningful, impactful, and such a joy. My wedding day was the happiest moment of my life and it's partly due to how great the Royal Treatment with Tiara is! We we're not disappointed and 100% would recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant. If you're reading this from another part of the world, I would also recommend flying her out; you're day will be so special if you do and you won't regret it one bit! Thank you so much Tiara, and Royal Treatment for witnessing us Tie Our Knot! May everyone who needs you, find you, and get to lavish in your wonderful experience!”

I'm Jenn, NYC's only officiant who combines custom-written ceremonies with premarital coaching, so I can support you on your wedding day and in building the marriage that follows. I create personalized wedding ceremonies for couples throughout NYC, Long Island, The Hamptons, & New Jersey. Every ceremony is thoughtfully crafted around your unique story, relationship, and vision for your day. As the officiant, I'm the first person to welcome your guests and set the tone for the celebration. My goal is to create a warm, meaningful, & memorable ceremony that feels authentic to who you are & leaves a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.

“When our intended officiant was unavailable for our short-notice elopement in NYC, found Jenn on Thumbtack. She responded within a few minutes, & offered to chat that evening (at 10 p.m., no less!). I felt so comfortable with her after our conversation that I booked her immediately. Her professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm for what she does put me so at ease - a blessing when one suddenly has to pull off an impromptu wedding in NYC, while living in another state ... with 10 days notice. She checked in with me regularly to ensure everything was moving along well, which was reassuring (when you feel you're herding cats, it's great to have a German Shepherd reliably in the wings). She knows the marriage requirements in NY well, and was a helpful resource. The contract she sent over was transparent & clear re: terms, timing, expectations, etc. I was surprised when she sent a few questions to me and my fiancé, so that she could craft our vows; I hadn't expected that kind of personal, heartfelt interest in our marriage ceremony. She then delivered to us her draft of our vows, in the event we had any edits for her (absolutely none). We met in-person for the first time at the clock in Grand Central - she arrived early (we arrived within the 15-min. grace period) and met up with our photographer. One presumes that a wedding officiant one selects online will be purely transactional - fill out the forms, say the words, sign the paper, thank you, goodbye. I hadn't expected the sudden emotion of speaking our vows, even just alone in the middle of Grand Central on the busy afternoon before Thanksgiving. Jenn was so on top of everything - selecting, with our photographer, the perfect spot for our ceremony, in the Grand Hall; handling the little things one might not have thought about (where do I set down my wrap/purse/bouquet, while I say my vows?) ... She was so warm and had made such effort to learn about us in a short period of time. I was so focused on my fiancé and on her during the ceremony that I didn't even notice the crowd of people who'd surrounded us during our vows (until we kissed, and they cheered). I'm so glad that she was the person to marry us. She enabled me to relax and let the joy of it all to happen, without worrying about a thing. I'm calling it the, 'Jenn Vows Bubble' - even amidst hundreds of strangers, it felt as though our wedding was taking place in a private little space with just Jenn, me and my (now) husband. I could not recommend Jenn more highly as an officiant!”

“I genuinely cannot imagine our wedding without Evelyn and the Love & Laughter Weddings team. We live out of state and got married at my family’s estate in Carmel by the Sea, so from the beginning I knew we needed a wedding planner. We worked with Evelyn for about a year and a half and somehow every detail turned out even better than my pinterest dreams. Evelyn is truly a rockstar!! She is organized, kind, patient, and has this incredibly calming presence that makes you feel like everything is going to be okay, even when your anxiety has you convinced it is not. She was there for every planning call, every random question, and every panic email I sent after having some ridiculous wedding related dream in the middle of the night. Nothing ever made her seem overwhelmed. She would just calmly talk me through it, come up with a solution, and suddenly whatever I was stressing about didn't feel like a big deal anymore. We also used their in house design services, officiant, and live music and I cannot recommend them enough! Having so much of the wedding managed under one roof made planning SO easy and everything was incredibly cohesive. At some point during planning Evelyn told me that the goal for wedding day was “no thoughts, just vibes” and that became our running joke, but she was completely serious lol. When the wedding weekend finally came, I genuinely turned my brain off. I wasn't checking the time or worrying about setup or wondering what was supposed to happen next. For the first time in a year and a half, I wasn't thinking about the wedding, I was just IN it and enjoying it because I knew Evelyn had everything covered. Hiring Love & Laughter was hands down one of the best decisions we made. Evelyn, thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams and for allowing me to actually experience and enjoy it instead of managing it. I would hire you again and again a million times over.”

“We cannot recommend Reverend Ron highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding officiant in Central Park! From the moment we met him, he struck us as warm, charismatic, classy, and incredibly personable. What impressed us most was his ability to take the information and stories we shared with him and turn them into a ceremony that felt so personal and genuine. He captured our personalities and relationship beautifully, incorporating the details we had provided in a way that made it feel as though he had known us for years. That is such a special gift, and it made our ceremony all the more meaningful. Reverend Ron was also the picture of professionalism and elegance. He arrived impeccably dressed and perfectly groomed, and his confident, engaging presence was a wonderful fit for our Central Park wedding. He has a natural charisma and warmth that put us at ease while still bringing a sense of occasion and class to the ceremony. What made the experience even more special was that his thoughtfulness extended well beyond our wedding. He generously took the time to share restaurant recommendations and suggestions for things to see and do while we were in New York. It was such a kind personal touch and a reflection of how much he genuinely cares about the couples he works with. Our wedding day was incredibly special, and Reverend Ron played a meaningful part in making it that way. If you are planning a wedding in Central Park and want someone who combines professionalism, elegance, charisma, and the ability to make your ceremony feel uniquely yours, look no further. We would recommend him without hesitation! Thank you, Reverend Ron, for helping make the start of our next chapter so memorable.”

Hi, I'm Navid! I officiate weddings throughout NYC and NYS, crafting ceremonies that sound like you — your relationship, your humor, the story that brought you here. I take the time to really get to know each couple I work with, because your ceremony should never feel like it was pulled off a shelf. Whatever traditions matter to you — any culture, a blend, or none at all — I love weaving them into the ceremony itself. My goal is to set the scene that celebrate your love. I hope we get to work together!

“Navid is a master host of moments. He has an innate ability to wrap a whole room in his arms and lift everyone up, making an occasional feel special, contained, and a bit sublime. He can enter a stranger’s house for a celebration and give a toast that perfectly captures the sentiment in the room, at just the right moment, making people laugh, cry, and feel united. It came as no surprise when we learned he had begun to officiate weddings. Navid is a leader, a storyteller, an anchor, a tender confidant, and a true friend. In each of these, he shines. Call on him to host this special moment for you. I promise you: you’ll be glad you did.”

I'm a bilingual (Spanish) Unity minister with over 25 years of experience creating heartfelt and personalized wedding ceremonies. During a free consultation, we can discuss your preferences, answer any questions, and see if I'm the right fit to guide you on this special journey.

“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. You won’t regret it! With much love and gratitude, Yami Glez & Jonathan Adum”

After pausing through the pandemic years, she has now leaned into her career as an experience designer and opened HumorVille as the only immersive art wedding chapel in New York City, where love and fun are one, with her team.

“I figure if you are here reading this, you are busy with a thousand things, planning your wedding. Certainly one of the most important decisions will be to choose the person who will be your officiant--who will perform your ceremony? My wife and I had the honor and pleasure of working with Barbara Ann Michaels (Jester of the Peace) this year. We were married in July and decided upon Barbara after looking at many other options. A friend recommended her services. And WOW! I am so glad we had Barbara! I could list so many accolades: But most important to me was that she immediately bonded with us. We met once in person and then we regularly did our planning via Zoom. She helped us design a wedding ceremony that fit our personalities and style. She supported us through the whole process, being available for questions and tweaks to the planned service. It was to be OUR wedding! The wedding day itself was fabulous! Even before the service, she was there for us, with calming presence. The service itself, by design, allowed for some surprises and lots of spontaneity. We told our love story through a unique interview style. It was filled with joy and laughter along with the desired quiet solemn moments. My wife and I love that we had Barbara as our wedding officiant. She is totally professional and will meet all your wedding service needs! Choose her!”

I’m excited for you, and I hope if you're planning a Long Island or New York City wedding, that I can be a part of your very special day. I like to describe myself as a somewhat old-fashioned, minister – someone warm, helpful, caring, and professional. Not somebody weird. I usually meet with you to get acquainted and develop important chemistry – and to discuss all the details so that we avoid any unpleasant wedding day surprises! The content and style of your ceremony is shaped by who you are and what you want. We discuss all the details so you know what to expect, and I know what to do. It's your day. Let’s make it great!

“We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our wedding day. Rev. William Britton from Clergy On Call was attentive from our first conversation and took the time to really get to know us and what we wanted our ceremony to be. He crafted a beautiful, personalized speech that had our guests laughing and crying in all the right moments. What impressed us most was how thoughtful he was with every detail—from the way he paced the ceremony to how he made us feel calm and supported throughout. He wasn't just there to say the words; he was genuinely invested in making our day special. We'd recommend Rev. Britton to any couple looking for an officiant who cares about creating a meaningful ceremony.”
