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

📆 Weekly Series: “Elopement Myth Monday”
💥 Week 1: Elopements Are Rushed
MYTH: Elopements are thrown together last minute.
You book a license on Tuesday, show up in jeans, and wing it. Right?
Not even close.
Most of our couples spend months planning their NYC elopement. They’re thoughtful, detailed, and super intentional about creating a day that actually feels like them. We do also help couples make magic in 24 hours. There are so many possibilities.
📍 We help with location scouting, timing (hello, golden hour!), florals, private vows, and even pup bowties. Eloping isn’t a shortcut but it’s a choice to focus on what matters most.
✨ From your first email to your final “I do,” it’s planned with love.

She’s 14 today.
And somehow, this moment — this season — holds more emotion than I expected.
There’s something about seeing her reflection — not just in the mirror, but in these quiet, in-between moments — that stopped us in our tracks. She’s becoming someone so strong, thoughtful, and radiant in ways that go far beyond the surface.
A dear photographer friend, Sarah at Happy Photography asked if they could take some fun editorial photos of Lucy — of course we said yes! What surprised us was how deeply these photos captured everything we’ve been feeling.
Every time I go back to look at these photos, I find myself opening the gallery over and over and for a while, I couldn’t figure out why, aside from the fact that they’re just beautiful photos. But then it clicked: I was replaying all the little moments: her first school dance, preparing for graduation, another year older to 14 and everything in between. That’s when I realized just how big this season really is.
Each new milestone brings this beautiful mix of pride, joy, nostalgia… and that ache only a parent can truly understand. She’s growing into her best self, and we’re just so lucky to witness it.
✨ There were too many moments not to share — swipe through to see her magic in every frame.
Happy Birthday, Lucy. We love you more than words can hold. 💕

✨ Just Married at Wagner Cove ✨
Who says you have to say “I do” at City Hall? This couple brought that classic New York City Hall vibe to the great outdoors — right in the heart of Central Park. 🌿💍
Wagner Cove is one of my favorite hidden gems for intimate wedding ceremonies in NYC. It’s peaceful, romantic, and perfect for couples looking for a private elopement location in Central Park.
Thinking of skipping the courthouse and saying your vows lakeside instead? As a licensed NYC wedding officiant, I help couples plan the perfect ceremony — whether that’s on the steps of City Hall or tucked away in a secret spot like this one.

📆 Weekly Series: “Elopement Myth Monday”
✨ “Wait, you’re eloping? Isn’t that like… super rushed and not emotional?”
If I had a dollar for every time someone said that, I’d have a second apartment overlooking Central Park. 😂 But seriously, elopements are not what they used to be. They’re not “less than,” and they’re definitely not boring.
💥 New blog just dropped: “5 Myths About Eloping — Busted by a NYC Elopement Officiant
I’ve heard all the myths:
🚫 It’s rushed
🚫 It’s not emotional
🚫 It’s not a real wedding
🚫 You’ll miss out on the fun
🚫 It’s just a budget option
And I’m here to bust every single one.
If you’re thinking about ditching the big wedding and doing it your way… this is your permission slip.
📍 Read the full blog post and stay tuned, because I’ll be busting one myth a week right here on the ‘gram.

Two beautiful brides, one unforgettable beach wedding. 🏳️🌈💍🌊
Denisse & Nicole said I do with their toes in the sand and the ocean breeze in their hair at the stunning Sunny Atlantic Beach Club. Their love story radiated through every moment — laughter, happy tears, and one of the most heartfelt ceremonies I’ve had the honor to officiate.
The beach, the joy, the pure magic of their connection... it was everything.✨🌈
I’m forever grateful to be a part of love stories like theirs. Here’s to a lifetime of sunrises, salty kisses, and choosing each other—again and again.
