In life, we all have a very small number of moments that define everything that comes in between. Getting married is one of them. There’s nothing ‘everyday’ about it, even though marrying couples is what I spend most of my days doing. I take great pride in the responsibility that comes with sharing in this monumental day. It is a genuine pleasure to experience and craft one of those life changing moments for you.

Heartfelt Thanks: Couples Share Their Love for Their Officiant 💖
Aaron & Steve said...We got married October 3rd, 2024 and struggled trying to find the right person to officiate our day until we came across Jackie and really cannot recommend her enough!
From the moment we started chatting she was the utmost professional to every email, enquiry or worry we may have had she squashed easily. The communication was great from the off and I knew we made the right choice!
We utilised the services of both Jackie and her husband the photographer Sascha Reinking with their ‘All in One’ Package and it was the best decision we made for the day!
She talked us through every process for the marriage license and met us for the appointment! Had recommendations on locations and great guidance on our vows and the ceremony which she performed so so beautifully! They took the weight and pressure off so much of the day and made it so easy.
I implore everyone to reach out to her, and her husband Sascha, to discuss how they can make your day even more special. It truly worked for us and we met people who we loved being a part of our day!

There’s nothing better than stepping into a brand-new year together, and these two did it in the most unforgettable way. So tell me—what’s been the most joyful moment in your love story? 💛✨

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.
