Namaste!
As a registered marriage officiant (#77862), I officiate at weddings, commitment celebrations, and vow renewals, as well as baby welcomings, funerals, memorial services, and just about any other rite of passage you could imagine. My ceremonies are "humanist" in orientation: they are "civil" or "agnostic" in essence. I believe that reason and ethics originate in the universal spirit of humanity. E-mail me (Judie) at NewYorkOfficiant@gmail.com to inquire about availability.

Officiating at a Loft with a View
L+B married in the fun Manhattan loft of RamScale. They opted for a standard ceremony, but requested I integrate two quotes they liked. I wove them into a new mini prelude, which is below. Every urbanite has witnessed lovers lost … Continue reading
