New York Wedding & Elopement Officiant
You are ready to tie the knot in iconic New York City, and the only thing missing is someone to make it official. But let’s be real - this city is electric, filled with energy, history, and a skyline that lights up the night. You don’t want just anyone to officiate your wedding; you want a wedding officiant as epic as the city itself. So, allow me to introduce myself! Couples often describe me as part best friend, part pro, a mix of warm, supportive, and downright fun. I bring a blend of personalization, energy, and heartfelt moments to every ceremony. Whether it's an intimate Central Park elopement, a chic rooftop wedding in Manhattan, or a romantic ceremony at the Brooklyn Bridge. As a registered New York City Wedding Officiant & Celebrant, I specialize in elopements, micro weddings, and unforgettable ceremonies across NYC. If you are dreaming of a day filled with laughter, love, and a touch of magic, I’d be honored to marry you. Let’s make it official - New York style!
Is there any point in your lives where you feel more in love and genuinely head over heels, than on your wedding day right here in New York City? I’d be willing to bet that there isn’t – and that’s why I love marrying couples like you. Married to my best friend, I know exactly what that feels like, and I live for the chance to give that moment to you too.
"If you care about someone, and you got a little love in your heart, there ain't nothing you can't get through together."
—Ted Lasso
"From initial contact, Jackie's attention to the details of our NYC wedding day was second to none. She took the time to get an idea of who we are as a couple, to help shape our wedding into something that fit us perfectly. On the day of the wedding Jackie made us feel very relaxed and at ease and delivered our ceremony perfectly! We can’t thank Jackie enough and will remember her forever for making our day as special as it was."
- Becky & Chloe
"Jackie made this wonderful day an unforgettable experience! Her words were so heartfelt and it felt like she had known us for years. We will be forever thankful for these very special moments."
- Vicky & Mirko

What Couples are Saying About Their Special Day 🌟
One of the greatest honors of my work as a NYC wedding officiant is standing beside couples as they promise forever. Every ceremony is unique, but the love and joy shared in these moments always touch my heart. I feel so grateful to be part of these stories, and I can’t help but share what Nina & Johan said:
Even though we had never met Jackie in person before our wedding day, the moment we saw her, it felt like we`d known her forever. She has such a heartwarming, funny, and lovely soul – truly one of a kind.
Before the wedding, we were in email contact with Jackie, and she took the time to ask us what we love about each other and what we wanted to have included in the speech. She guided us with different options, but we decided to leave the final draft as a surprise – and it couldn`t have been more perfect!
The ceremony was everything we had ever dreamed of – funny, positive, full of love, not cheesy but heartfelt, realistic, and simply on point. Despite the weather turning from sunshine to rain and cold (in August!), Jackie stayed calm and made sure we still had the best time. She created such a beautiful atmosphere that we even forgot we were standing in the middle of a rainy, stormy day.
We couldn`t recommend Jackie enough – thank you for making our day so special!

Jackie Reinking - Best Officiant for an Elopement
I am so happy with my decision to hire Jackie Reinking the officiant for our New York Elopement. I also hired her husband to do the photography, Sascha Reinking.
Jackie is a joy to work with. She responded promptly to all emails and was extremely professional. She wrote a beautiful ceremony and helped us write our vows. It was incredibly meaningful and special. She was also a total rockstar when she met up with us in person to go to city hall and do all the paperwork for our elopement. Everything was explained so clearly and it was an easy process. She is enthusiastic and supportive and I love that her and her husband both are very inclusive and supportive of BLM and LGBTQIA groups.
