Our officiant was Alex and I couldn’t have chosen a better person to marry us. He made our ceremony very heartfelt yet funny. His energy and liveliness throughout the ceremony kept everyone engaged and laughing. I also loved how responsive and detailed he was with the marriage license process and worked with our photographer to make sure he caught all the best shots during our ceremony. Alex truly delivered a beautiful ceremony and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a bilingual officiant.

When our intended officiant was unavailable for our short-notice elopement in NYC, found Jenn on Thumbtack. She responded within a few minutes, & offered to chat that evening (at 10 p.m., no less!). I felt so comfortable with her after our conversation that I booked her immediately. Her professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm for what she does put me so at ease - a blessing when one suddenly has to pull off an impromptu wedding in NYC, while living in another state ... with 10 days notice. She checked in with me regularly to ensure everything was moving along well, which was reassuring (when you feel you're herding cats, it's great to have a German Shepherd reliably in the wings). She knows the marriage requirements in NY well, and was a helpful resource. The contract she sent over was transparent & clear re: terms, timing, expectations, etc. I was surprised when she sent a few questions to me and my fiancé, so that she could craft our vows; I hadn't expected that kind of personal, heartfelt interest in our marriage ceremony. She then delivered to us her draft of our vows, in the event we had any edits for her (absolutely none). We met in-person for the first time at the clock in Grand Central - she arrived early (we arrived within the 15-min. grace period) and met up with our photographer. One presumes that a wedding officiant one selects online will be purely transactional - fill out the forms, say the words, sign the paper, thank you, goodbye. I hadn't expected the sudden emotion of speaking our vows, even just alone in the middle of Grand Central on the busy afternoon before Thanksgiving. Jenn was so on top of everything - selecting, with our photographer, the perfect spot for our ceremony, in the Grand Hall; handling the little things one might not have thought about (where do I set down my wrap/purse/bouquet, while I say my vows?) ... She was so warm and had made such effort to learn about us in a short period of time. I was so focused on my fiancé and on her during the ceremony that I didn't even notice the crowd of people who'd surrounded us during our vows (until we kissed, and they cheered). I'm so glad that she was the person to marry us. She enabled me to relax and let the joy of it all to happen, without worrying about a thing. I'm calling it the, 'Jenn Vows Bubble' - even amidst hundreds of strangers, it felt as though our wedding was taking place in a private little space with just Jenn, me and my (now) husband. I could not recommend Jenn more highly as an officiant!

She loves collaborating with couples to create the perfect personalized ceremony for any type of nuptials—elopements, micro weddings, traditional weddings, and anything in between!

Sharron was absolutely wonderful. She stepped in as a somewhat last minute replacement when our original officiant had an emergency and could no longer do our Wedding. Sharron is attentive, kind, funny and on top of things. She did a Zoom with us before to get to know us, she was at our rehearsal, she customized our ceremony to US and not just a cookie cutter script. I would highly recommend using her for your upcoming nuptials, you will be glad you did!

Hey, Are you about to celebrate something extraordinary in your life? Look no further than me to officiate your wedding ceremony. I am not just a Wedding Officiant; I am what you call a Master Celebrant. It is a more extensive term that shows my dedication to my craft, creating custom ceremonies for each couple. Hiring me will ensure I will help you create your whole ceremony with you from start to finish. As your "Third Wheel Specialist," I work with you to show off your unique love story. I'm here to make that moment you never want to forget memorable. Life is about exploring and embracing all this world has. Let me help tell your story.

It has been a longtime dream of mine ever since I saw Gossip Girl to have a iconic moment in NYC. With me going absolutely crazy with my best friend and fiancé in SoHo, Tribeca and all of the spots. I thought it would always be cool to get married in the winter but I decided I am more of a spring girly. So my fiancé suggested we do elopement when we go to NYC in May for our 4 anniversary. I that that was a wonderful idea, but I wanted a big fancy wedding. He said we can do both because he knew the wedding was going to be really expensive. So I did some research and that's how I found Crafting Soulful Stories. Charles was so warm and funny and gelled with my fiancé and I Zack. I knew he would be the perfect officiant for my big day. He helped planned the ceremony to absolute perfection. Also him and Zack surprised me with both of our parents to come to our ceremony. Charles made sure to included some inside jokes and many touching remarks about Zack's and I's story. I stress that everyone that lives in New York or visiting the city and getting married that Charles should be your officiant. He has such a way with words, and he made me cry. He is the best, so I absolutely recommend Crafting Soulful Stories. P.S. Zack is not slick he is still going to give me my Big Gay Wedding in 2025.
