Things you’re probably wondering about.
-
Yes. I'm ordained through the American Marriage Ministries and hold lifetime registered officiant status with the NYC City Clerk, so your ceremony is fully legal in New York City and New York State.
-
My home base is NYC, and I officiate throughout New York State. If your wedding is outside of the five boroughs, I will just ask for your help covering the travel. If your wedding is out of state, reach out — I'm happy to discuss a fee structure and whether I'm able to register in that state ahead of time.
-
Completely. Outside of the Essential package, every ceremony is written specifically for you, based on real conversations about your relationship, your story, and how you want the day to feel. Nothing is pulled from a template.
-
Yes. Whatever traditions matter to you — any culture, a blend of several, or none at all — I work to understand them and weave them into the ceremony itself. I have particular fluency with Persian traditions like the Sofreh Aghd.
-
Yes — I'm fluent in English and French, and I'm happy to incorporate Spanish, and Farsi elements into your ceremony, from a single line to a fully bilingual script.
-
That's exactly what the Essential package is for — a brief, no-frills meeting to make things official, with no custom script involved.
-
As soon as you know your date, ideally. Popular dates and busy seasons fill up, and packages that include a fully custom script need time for consultations and revisions. If your wedding is under 8 weeks away, I can still often help — a rush booking fee may apply.
-
It depends on your package — anywhere from one consultation call to two meetings plus rehearsal attendance. You'll always have a chance to review and revise your ceremony script before the big day (although I will always try to convince you to keep it a surprise!)
-
Rehearsal attendance is included in select packages.
-
Life happens, and wedding plans shift. Reach out as soon as you know, and I'll do everything I can to accommodate a new date.
-
While it's rare, I understand this is an important question for a day this significant. I have a trusted network of backup officiants I can call on to step in if something unexpected happens, so your ceremony is never at risk of going forward without someone to lead it.
-
A 50% deposit is due at booking to secure your date, with the remaining 50% due 30 days before your wedding.
-
Just reach out and say hello! Drop a note with a bit about you and your wedding date. From there, we'll set up a first conversation to talk through your vision and find the right package for you.
