You’ll be required to bring (1-2) witnesses, and to meet at a location near me in Greenwich Village/Soho— or wherever I may be out & about in the city doing other ceremonies. This simple “I Do” and “Sign Here” option is for couples who want to save Vows and Rings for a later date, as well as couples who have asked a friend to officiate.

I’m also available to friends-who-officiate for consultations and coaching at an hourly rate to help prepare them for all the unwritten details like wedding rehearsal, processional, music cues, handling a microphone, traditions and their meanings, coordinating with other wedding team vendors, responding to the unexpected, and bringing joy, presence, inclusiveness, warmth and dignity to the occasion.
