From start to end, Peter worked with us to create an intimate, love-centred ceremony that won us many compliments from guests. Peter’s suggestions on vow wording, support in creating our personal words and suggestions on how to create a great multi-cultural experience were perfect. We were and are completely satisfied with Peter and his services.
On a personal note, thank you Peter. For your care, approach, timeliness and support. You will always be part of our special day.
Chris and Christina.

Peter was the perfect fit for our SURPRISE wedding.. After 17-years together; we decided to "tie the knot".. All guests thought they were attending a SURPRISE birthday party - we sure SURPRISED them. Peter was awesome! Very easy to work with, great communicator in the weeks prior. Professional, impeccably dressed, well-spoken, amiable, cordial & a bit lighthearted too.. My husband-to-be was sweating profusely during our vows / Peter pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket, patted his brow & handed it to him saying "hey; full-service here".. Everyone chuckled! Would HIGHLY recommend Peter for your special day! Peter will NOT disappoint.

Peter was amazing , he was so patient with all the questions we had. We knew we wanted him to be our officiant when we saw him do our cousins wedding. We had to postpone our wedding due to a family emergency , Peter was so kind and worked with us through this issue. We would highly recommend him to anyone big day. Thank you Peter for everything.

I wanted to say that our day was so special because Peter did such a wonderful job taking care of the arrangements, the setting, the team, and everything - all we had to do was show up and look pretty (which my wife Nadia definitely took care of!). Peter was a wonderful support and friend throughout the process, getting to know us and crafting a ceremony that was perfect in capturing our story and our love. Everything was seamless and worry-free, and Peter felt like an old friend who knew us perfectly. I would recommend Peter to everyone planning to get married in NYC, and I am so thankful for his contribution to making our wedding the perfect day. Thank you, Peter!

My husband and I used Peter for our ceremony and our whole family was moved to tears by his words. It was a beautiful ceremony and I am SO happy I read the reviews and chose Peter! If you do the same, I promise you won’t be disappointed! He also followed up with us after the wedding! He’s amazing. If I could give more stars, I would.

We chose Peter after researching, both him and other, officiants recommended by our wedding planner. We liked his personable approach and smile. We spoke to Peter via Skype and email a number of times and he suggested options so that we would get the right tone for the ceremony. At no time were we concerned that he wasn’t the right person for us. On the day he arrived before all the guests. He has a great nature about him and the ceremony went off without a hitch. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter as your officiant. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect beginning to our life together.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant! Peter was a great speaker, and pulled together our mixed background ceremony seamlessly. We are a non-religious couple, but wanted to honor our families Catholic and Jewish backgrounds, and he found the perfect words to honor this in his speech. We appreciated that he quickly shared his full speech with us early on, which helped put us at ease (one less thing to worry about during stressful wedding planning!). And he elegantly found a way to add in a tribute to my dad who had passed last year. During the wedding, our venue's microphone failed, however everybody could still hear Peter super clearly - we had comments from our guests on what a great job he did, I don't even think they noticed! Not to mention, Peter's quick thinking probably saved my dress from being caught on fire - I later found out he blew out candles that were previously lit by our venue coordinator to be right by my wedding dress on the floor! Good call on that! I would highly recommend Peter to anybody having a wedding. Thank you again for helping to make our rainy wedding day amazing!

Peter made our destination wedding as easy as it could be. With his professionalism and efficiency building our ceremony together was a breeze. We have had so many comments from our guests on how perfect it was. We can’t thank Peter enough, and would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

Peter was one of two ministers we hired for our Hindu/Non-Denominational wedding (the other was a Hindu priest). When I was planning the wedding, everyone kept saying that a combined Hindu and Christian wedding couldn't be done because there were too many differences between the traditions, but I was determined to make it happen. Peter took care of writing all of the parts we wanted to include for the non-denominational parts of the wedding, and did a seamless job of handing things off back and forth with the hindu priest so that the wedding flowed smoothly. Because we knew the ceremony would take an hour, I was afraid that people would get bored listening after awhile, but Peter did a great job of bringing some energy into it and kept everyone paying attention. We were so happy with our ceremony.

Peter Boruchowitz was our officiant and we can't recommend him highly enough! He spent time before the event getting to know us and our story and incorporated key details into the ceremony. His delivery was great (friendly, just the right speed) and we had many complements afterwards from guests saying how impressive he was. You should definitely consider Peter for your officiant!

Peter was absolutely amazing throughout our civil marriage ceremony on June 8! All our guests were moved and impressed by his speech as he was able to blend romance, humor, and seriousness perfectly into his words in a way that attracted our absolutely multi-national group... His performance made our day absolutely even more magical! Thanks Peter!

We were absolutely thrilled with our officiant, Peter Boruchowitz. He was very professional, friendly, and accommodating. He is an excellent orator, which really helped with our outdoor setting. There were some small issues that came up with our ceremony, due to issues with our venue, and he went out of his way to make sure that we had a good experience. Peter was very flexible and accommodating to the point my wife and I had no clue of the issues.
Thank you Peter for helping to make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be!

Peter was great at helping us make our “run away to New York and get married” become a reality. We are from a different state and didn’t know too many places to go. Peter sent us a couple of suggestions that we could research. They we all beautiful and we picked Grand Central Station at 930pm! The place was a little busy but the police worked with us and we were able to secure a spot on the Mezzanine. It was the perfect little ceremony.

Peter married the love of my life and I on a beautiful day in April 2018. I found him online through a simple google search and really hit the jackpot. From the beginning, I knew he was my type of guy. Even before we met, I could tell through telephone conversations that he was articulate, professional and accommodating.
When I first contacted him, he was on vacation traveling but nevertheless remained accessible via email and would respond in a timely manner to various questions. I explained that I was looking for something short and sweet at a private location in Manhattan. His cost was $500 which I thought was very reasonable after having spoken to several other officiants in the city. When we first sat down for a pre-ceremony coffee meeting, Peter was as advertised - professional, thoughtful and knowledgeable.
At the ceremony, Peter was punctual, well-dressed and totally prepared with legal and other paperwork. For 30 minutes before we began, Peter joined in conversation with a small group of my family members and helped us take pictures and maintain an upbeat and friendly atmosphere.
His life story is fascinating - he was an actor and massage therapist before becoming a wedding officiant. His presence was a major asset to the entire event. He was personable yet respectful and only sat with the family when invited. My future in-laws seemed very happy with our choice of officiant.
The words he chose for the ceremony were just perfect and he incorporated the family members names’ who were in attendance. We all appreciated what he said so much that we asked for a copy of the words which he e-mailed to us within hours of the request.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Peter and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is in need of his services.

Peter was absolutely fabulous for our wedding ceremony! My husband and I are from out of state and he helped us with directions on obtaining our Marriage License to make the process as easy as possible. From start to finish he was professional yet welcoming and personable. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was, which Peter prepared. I cannot thank you enough for your services!
