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.

Hip Brooklyn Wedding Ceremony at Linger Lounge

Extra Fabulous Wedding at the Public
