Welcome to the family

Jackie Reinking New York Wedding Officiant

Jackie Reinking New York Wedding Officiant

Welcome to the family! I thought the best use of my first blog on my page was to introduce you to my family so that when you are ready to book me as your officiant, you’ll consider me part of your family.

I’m Jackie and married to my best friend, Sascha for 9 years.

We have a 3 year old daughter, Lucy and she’s brought more joy to our life than we ever thought possible.

I moved to NYC from Oregon in 1998 to study musical theatre in the hopes of becoming an actor. I had big dreams of being on Broadway. Although something you should know about me is I believe that everything happens for a reason. I’m not a famous actor but a bigger dream replaced another.

I met my best friend, we got married and we had Lucy. I stayed in the industry by working at some of the leading acting schools in the world but my family fulfilled my dreams. I love everything about how my life evolved into this place.

Lucy is our ‘little sunshine’ and she never stops moving. She is kind and funny and is the perfect Reinking princess with a bit of sass.

Sascha is a highly sought after photographer. When he started his business it was impossible to support our family solely with photography. He was working full-time as an architect and shooting nights and weekends. We spent a lot of time apart but knew it was worth it because he was so talented and it brought him such fulfillment. In 2014, we decided it was time for him to follow his dream and SASCHA REINKING PHOTOGRAPHY became a full time business.

So often Sascha would shoot elopements and watch ceremonies but always think of me. He suggested I consider becoming a licensed officiant and we could do weddings together. Officiating immediately excited me after doing my first ceremony, and I realized it could be the next phase of dreaming for me…for us.

I love every moment of performing wedding ceremonies. It’s an emotionally wonderful roller coaster that I adore being a part of. I laugh with my couples. I cry with my couples. I share in my couple’s love. At the end I have joined them as one. What better job could there be?

I hope you enjoyed getting to know my family a bit and I look forward to getting to know yours.

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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🎉 A New Year, A New Beginning! 🥂✨

Welcome back to my Celebration Series! And this one? Oh, it’s extra special. We are all celebrating in these photos because what’s more exciting than saying I do? Saying it on New Year’s Eve in NYC, surrounded by love, laughter, and a family ready to celebrate! 💍💛

Martina & Peter’s wedding wasn’t just a ceremony—it was a joyful explosion of love. From the moment we met, the excitement was contagious. I celebrated. They celebrated. Their entire family, who traveled all the way from Austria, celebrated. It was high-fives, happy tears, and non-stop cheering from beginning to end. 🥂🎊

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.
