My husband and I travelled over from the UK to marry in New York and wanted something simple just for the two of us. We found Peter online and he had brilliant reviews, responded quickly to my emails and was happy to venture out on Christmas Eve so we booked him up! Neither me or my husband really had any ideas about what we wanted for the ceremony, even down to our wedding location, but Peter gave us many suggestions and even recommended a great spot in Central Park which turned out to be absolutely perfect! Peter found us a witness and recommended a photographer, he arrived to our location early battling the cold and after the ceremony waited for us to get photographs, but most of all seemed genuinely happy and excited to marry us. We couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you Peter!

Peter was not only punctual and professional but very thoughtful in his ceremony. He's very articulate in his delivery his enthusiasm for what he does shows in pre-event, ceremony, and post-nuptial process. Ours was everything we hoped for and more. I highly recommend Peter for any and all officiating.

Let me start off by saying that Peter is the absolute best officiant out there. Planning a wedding is beyond stressful and time consuming, but Peter made the actual ceremony planning process a breeze. He was very quick to answer emails, very professional, extremely organized and has such a fantastic personality.
After our first meeting, Peter quickly provided a draft of the ceremony and let my now husband and I review/edit as many times as needed (His ceremony was so great I barely made any changes to it)
On the day of my wedding, I was feeling like an anxiety ridden Bridezilla. Anything that could go wrong was going wrong EXCEPT for Peter. My 2 readers forgot to bring copies of their readings which at perfect timing Peter so graciously handed them each copies he had printed. He was kind enough to direct the groom and groomsmen on how to line up and prepare before the ceremony. And most importantly he started the wedding off on a beautiful note. So many of my guests complimented on Peter and the ceremony. The ceremony was a huge hit.
My advice to any Bride reading this choose Peter, that is one decision I can guarantee you will be beyond pleased with.>

Peter did an amazing job. I called him 24 hours before the wedding and asked him to be our officiant. A family member was meant to be the officiant and couldn't get their state license on time. He immediately said he could help us and was so kind. He really made the ceremony personal and so beautiful. It was like he had known us for a long time. So many people commented on how good the ceremony was. I would recommend him to everyone.

What can I say about Peter? He was available on relatively short notice and I planned to speak with others on the phone, but after talking to him, I booked him on the spot. He is warm, inviting, and his voice really projects (at an outdoor NYC wedding where you can't bring a sound system, this was awesome). He made a point to tailor the ceremony exactly for us. Many of our guests asked how we knew him since it just felt so personal. He also mentioned are little dog in the ceremony, which made us so happy. Whatever you want, he will work it in, and he was very sensitive to my concerns about how the ceremony should be. Also, he just seems to really believe what he was saying. There was a weight to his words, not like he was running through the motions at all. We had the loveliest ceremony, and I can't thank Peter enough for helping make it so wonderful!

Peter Boruchowitz did a fantastic job officiating our wedding. He is so warm and professional. He had great ideas for our ceremony and was very flexible. Many of our guests said that our wedding ceremony was the best they'd ever attended. Hire Peter, you won't be disappointed!!!

Peter was a wonderful, thoughtful, attentive, and professional officiant. We included multiple elements from both of our cultural backgrounds and Peter was welcoming and creative in integrating these customs into our ceremony. All of our guests came up to us afterwards to complement us on how beautiful, personal, and multi-cultural the ceremony was. We greatly appreciated working with Peter and highly recommend him to other couples.

For anyone looking for someone other than a priest or rabbi to officiate a wedding ceremony we would highly recommend going with Peter. Right from our first meeting with him we knew he was the right person. Peter really listened to us and made some great suggestions as we weren't really sure of how we wanted to do the whole ceremony. What was really nice was Peter didn't force any of his suggestions and was totally open and supportive of all our final decisions on the details of the ceremony. The ceremony was spiritual without being religious and Peter was great at expressing the emotion and importance of the day. Also want to note that Peter was great with the bridal party and put our two junior bridesmaids at ease who were a bit nervous of exactly how to walk down the aisle and line up at the front.

Peter was the officiant for our wedding. The entire process with him from the beginning was very smooth and seamless. He was responsive, flexible, accommodating and patient on waiting for our response [which was delayed :)] and just easy to work with overall. The day of the wedding he was early, and spoke with enthusiasm, and made some guests laugh. We'd recommend Peter with no hesitation.

Peter was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment we met with him we knew he was the right person for our interfaith ceremony. Peter worked with us months before to perfect the interfaith ceremony. Peter showed up to our venue about an hour and a half early and you could tell this wasnt his first rodeo. Our wedding planner the venue provided for us was an absolute horror to work with and Peter quickly corrected numerous mistakes she created before the ceremony started. During the ceremony our runner bunched up and people were not able to walk on it. Peter quickly ran down the aisle and removed it so others would not trip..Thank you Peter for saving the day! Peter was so articulate and his ceremony was truly beautiful. The way he was able to combine certain aspects from both our religions into his ceremony was remarkable. I am not lying when I say that almost every person at our wedding asked where in the world did we find this officiant as he was truly amazing. I can honestly say that Peter is the ultimate professional and he provided us with the most beautiful ceremony. If you are looking for a can't miss officiant Peter is truly your guy!

I had a pastor who was going to perform our wedding ceremony set from last year. In February of this year 2016 he canceled due to a death in the family. I asked him if he knew of anyone. Long story short I called and was turned down by 8 pastors/officiants until Peter. From the email and phone call I gave him he could tell I was stressed. He call me within 15 minutes and immediately calmed me down. He let me know he was mine and I could relax. He met with us and really wanted to know who we were. He then created a ceremony that captured our personalities and the things that was most important to us. He was so supportive and excited to do our wedding. It was perfect. He did an amazing job and really calmed me at every turn. During the ceremony he saw panic in my eyes because I forgot matches for the candle lighting. Seeing this he looked at me and said I've got it then continued with what he was saying. He didn't miss a beat. I feel so blessed and that he was sent to us by God to assist us in creating a perfect day. Thank you Peter from the bottom of our hearts. We love you and all you did for us. And you know what I mean. Thank you thank you thank you.

Peter was amazing. He is a dynamic speaker. I could not but help but listen intently to the moving words he spoke during our ceremony. I would recommend him to any bride and groom to be! Thanks Peter!!!

Peter was a fantastic officiant, we are so glad to have him at our NYC wedding! He took the time to get to know us to make the ceremony much more personal, and struck the perfect balance in tone we were looking for. Our guests really enjoyed the ceremony as well - there were reactions from "the crowd" on several occasions! It was such a pleasure working with Peter and I strongly recommend him for anyone considering a wedding officiant in the area.

Peter was a joy to work with from the start! On day one, it felt like he already knew me and my wife. We clicked immediately, and he understood exactly what we were looking for in our ceremony. We didn't have a religious wedding ceremony, and opted instead for a blend of Jewish and spiritual traditions. Peter took the time to listen and get to know us, and helped us create a ceremony that was truly personal and reflective of our long love for each other.
He put together a draft of what he was going to say very quickly, giving us a number of options for poems and readings that he could incorporate. We could tell they were all carefully selected, and we had a tough time picking one because we loved them all. We only had very minor edits, and he made them immediately. Peter was responsive, flexible and extremely easy to work with. On our wedding day, he arrived early, prepared and ready to go. He was a calming presence for me on an otherwise crazy day. There will be a million things to worry about on your wedding day, and you'll be grateful to know that with Peter, you have one less thing to stress over. He's a professional, and is great at what he does.

Peter was an absolutely, amazing wedding officiant. Lindsey and I exchanged vows in Shakespeare Garden in Central Park with our closest family and friends. We felt completely comfortable with him since our first time talking about the ceremony. He helped us plan the flawless ceremony from start to finish including our private vows and a touching sand ceremony to symbolize our journey together. Peter is definitely THE BEST officiant! Thank you for making our ceremony so meaningful! We are over the moon happy!

Peter BORUCHOWITZ was perfect, as friendly as professional; he provided us with advices as we had to organize our wedding from France and made the ceremony exactly as we wished, simple and stirring, joyous and meaningful.

Peter was fabulous to work with. My husband and I were in a bind a month out of our wedding when the officiant we originally picked backed out on us. I called Peter, he got right back to me the same day and we set up a meeting asap. He was the perfect choice for us, he knew exactly what he was doing and made the process simple while still allowing us choices to personalize the ceremony to fit us perfectly. I can't tell you how many people came up to me after and said that they thought our officiant was a friend or relative of ours and knew me personally. Guests also commented that the ceremony was the best they'd ever witnessed and it was so heartfelt and touching which isn't always the case. Peter was SO professional. I can't recommend him highly enough!

We had a wedding blessing in Central Park, in a private ceremony for the two of us. We are from England and had been married a few months earlier in the UK but decided we wanted a ceremony which was just for us alone. Peter was high accommodating to our requests and made the whole experience very special for us both. He picked a lovely location in Central Park, and prepared some beautiful words to read to the two of us which he gave us a copy of at the end of the ceremony. Because we had travelled over from the UK our plans changed last minute and we had to move the date of the ceremony, Peter was extremely flexible with this and changed the date without any hassle. His correspondence leading up to the day and on it were exemplary and took away any of the stresses that can so easily be associated with such a big day. We had an amazing day and I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending Peter and his services to anyone. His professional attitude, beautiful words and efficient organisational skills made this a stress free, rewarding and romantic experience. Thank you!
