Flushing, NY
  • Offers 7 ceremony types
  • Serves Kentucky

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.

If Chris is available on your big day, look no further and just book him. We were so unsure of where to turn as we are not religious so we didn't have a preacher but also didn't have any family or friends we could visualize to do our ceremony, which so many people do now (Hire the pro!). I'm so so glad we found him! Chris is great because he does a great non-religious ceremony, under 30 minutes (what we wanted), and is so engaging, funny and easy to work with. Our guests loved our ceremony so much and wondered how we knew him (spoiler alert: we didn't know each other before we booked him for our wedding) because he made our ceremony so personal and told our beautiful love story so masterfully. After speaking with Chris my now husband and I both immediately wanted to move forward with him. After booking we got a somewhat long questionnaire, parts were for both of us to fill out together and we each had other parts that we filled out individually telling our version of our love story in our own words which made for a quite fun ceremony. While the questionnaire was long it was necessary to have the personalized ceremony we both wanted. We were able to meet with him in person when he was in Cincinnati, he also works in NYC, for another wedding and he is such a joy to be around. Once he was done with our ceremony he sent us a draft and we made a few small adjustments but it was PERFECT. Chris also ran our rehearsal and he did amazing organizing everyone and making sure that people knew what they needed to do. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect on our wedding day, he has great timing, he is funny, engaging and had about 75% of our guests crying by the end. The video of our ceremony gets me misty every time. Thank you again Chris!

*SIDENOTE: CHRISTIAN OFFICIANTS DOES NOT PHOTOGRAPH SATURDAYS due to Sabbath observance* THANK YOU I'm a layman preacher at 5 different Adventist churches & am registered with the State of Arkansas as an officiant. I serve any destination you want- Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, & Illinois more specifically. My wife is also a wedding photographer: Alina Alexandra Photography. My sermon to you & your guests at the wedding will be Christ-centered with a focus on unity, one-ness, & a covenant you two will embark on as you lead your future family until death do you part. Or until Jesus comes back beforehand.

We chose Christian Officiants for our ceremony and couldn't have been happier with our decision. From our first conversation, he was quick to respond and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. He took time to understand what we wanted and crafted a detailed ceremony that felt personal to us. On the day of the wedding, everything flowed smoothly thanks to his professionalism and attention to detail. Our officiant was reliable, easy to work with, and even knew the perfect moment to step back for our first kiss. We'd recommend Christian Officiants to any couple looking for someone who takes their job seriously and cares about making your day special.

My path to becoming a wedding officiant began with curiosity. I've always been fascinated by different faiths, cultures, and traditions, and my love of travel deepened that interest. After studying at Xavier University, I pursued ordination to help couples create ceremonies that honor what matters most to them. Serving the Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana tri-state region, I specialize in personalized, interfaith, multicultural, and multilingual ceremonies. As a poet and writer, I also help couples craft heartfelt vows that are memorable, meaningful, and authentically their own.

Leila was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant. From the beginning, she made the whole process easy and stress-free. She took the time to get to know us and created a ceremony that felt personal, genuine, and completely "us." On the day of the wedding, she brought the perfect mix of professionalism, warmth, and humor. She helped calm our nerves, kept everything flowing smoothly, and made the ceremony feel natural rather than scripted. Our guests loved her, and several people told us afterward how much they enjoyed the ceremony. What really stood out was how much Leila cared about making our day special. She wasn't just there to officiate; she was invested in helping us create a meaningful moment that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and would highly recommend Leila to any couple looking for someone who is personable, thoughtful, and easy to work with.

With over 20 years of experience, now officiating full-time, Karen specializes in working with couples who desire a heartfelt ceremony outside of a traditional church setting.

Karen also gave us samples of different vow styles and ring exchanges so we could build the perfect ceremony for us. On the day of our wedding, she had thought through every detail and our guests kept mentioning how special and personal the ceremony felt. Her communication was clear throughout the planning process, and she truly took the time to understand who we are as a couple. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

At Union & Story, we believe your ceremony should be more than something guests sit through—it should be one of the most memorable parts of your wedding day. We create custom ceremonies that reflect your relationship, values, and unique story. Whether you're planning a Christian, spiritual, or non-religious ceremony, we'll guide you through a thoughtful planning process and craft a ceremony that feels authentic, personal, and unmistakably yours. Our goal is simple: to help you begin your marriage with a ceremony you'll remember for the rest of your lives.

Doug spent months prepping us for marriage and somehow made ‘communication styles’ homework genuinely fun instead of the relationship-quiz nightmare we feared. He’s got a knack for dropping real wisdom right after a joke that catches you off guard, which is exactly the combo you want from someone about to bless your entire future. Our ceremony was stunning and prayerful, and at one point something he said was so perfect that my wife and I fist bumped right there at the altar — now one of our favorite photos from the day. We walked in as a couple and walked out laughing, teary, and thoroughly married — 10/10, wouldn’t want anyone else standing up there with us

I’m Amanda, a Kentucky wedding officiant who loves helping couples create ceremonies that feel real, relaxed, and true to who they are. I’ve been officiating weddings for over 3 years and believe your ceremony should feel personal, not stiff or scripted. Whether you’re planning something small and simple or want a ceremony that tells your story, I’ll guide you through the process and handle the details so you can enjoy the moment. My goal is to keep things calm, meaningful, and stress-free while making sure your day feels just right.

We absolutely loved having Amanda as our officiant. We wanted someone who cared about our story, catered to our ceremony wishes, and connected with us. Amanda hit those marks for us and more. She not only met with us and discussed ideas, but she also researched handfasting traditions when we mentioned how we wanted it incorporated into the ceremony. She was such a joy to have at the wedding and even helped calm my nerves before walking down the aisle! We met with a previous officiant who was included in our venue package, but what they provided was a standard sheet with what they say for every wedding ceremony. I am so glad we decided against using them and found Amanda instead, because the whole ceremony was centered around us and our special moments. I truly believe that any wedding she's involved in will add to the magic of your day!
