My husband and I are very happy we chose Peter as our officiant. From our first call with him, we could tell he was experienced, helpful, and professional. He was very collaborative as we worked through the plan for the ceremony -- both the first time and when we had to reschedule due to COVID. On the day of, Peter was on time and fully prepared. He delivered a beautiful ceremony that many guests complimented. Peter has a wonderful voice and presence that are perfect for such a special occasion. We fully recommend Peter as a wedding officiant.

Peter was perfect! Engaging, professional, and an absolute pleasure to interact with. Within a few hours of reaching out to him, he had arranged a zoom introduction during which he explained the whole process including licensing beginning to end. On the day of the ceremony, Peter arrived an hour early and was the ultimate professional. We had our wedding zoomed to family in Australia and Ireland, in addition to a small group of in-person attendees, and Peter was so mindful of this. Many zoom attendees commented on how great Peter was at capturing the audience. A full five stars from us!

Thank you so much for marrying us! It’s been a long road for our families to come together for our wedding, unfortunately due to the pandemic and many losses, we couldn’t have them with us on our special day, but you made us feel welcome and less alone. Thank you! It’s hard to put into words how bittersweet and special that day was for us.

Enough can not be said about how much of a pleasure it was to work with Peter. Every word of praise he receives in all of his reviews is well deserved. He brought an amazing presence to our nuptials. His thoughtful approach, in allowing us to cater the vows to even asking what color our flowers were, so he could wear a tie that wouldn't clash, shows that Peter, is a true professional through and through. Thank you again, Peter!

We have been extremely fortunate to have Peter be our officiant twice - the first time was when he was our virtual officiant for our online civil ceremony held via Zoom in October 2020, and the second time was when he traveled to Connecticut to preside over our symbolic ceremony in person in front of family and close friends in August 2021. Peter is an outstanding officiant and a wonderful person - his captivating presence, charm, humor, and quick wit allow him to fully command a room and set the stage for an incredible ceremony and memorable wedding for all. Our guests and wedding planner were so impressed by Peter’s passionate delivery of the ceremony with heartfelt, beautifully chosen words that they asked how we found Peter in the first place! We also appreciated how Peter kept things lighthearted and fun when the wind blew out the unity candle during our outdoor, waterfront ceremony by saying “Don’t worry - I can promise you this isn’t a sign of things to come!”. It is also important to note how responsive Peter is via email. Peter is detailed, efficient, and knowledgeable in each interaction throughout the ceremony-planning process. Being able to tap his expertise during a time of ever-changing marriage license procedures during the pandemic has also been incredibly helpful. Peter provided excellent recommendations for how to best structure our ceremony and patiently worked with us through multiple revisions of the ceremony draft. We could not have selected a more amazing, talented, and personable officiant for our special day and are recommending Peter to our family and friends for their future weddings!

Peter is the BEST! Peter was incredibly kind and helpful while planning our wedding ceremony. My husband and I just knew we wanted to get married but weren’t sure what ceremony would be best for us. Peter helped us every step of the way and our ceremony was so personal and meaningful.

Peter was absolutely profesional and I am so happy we chose him be our Wedding Officiant. Due to Covid we had our wedding ceremony online through Zoom. As it was first time to join a meeting on Zoom and we had a little issue with it, Peter was very patient and waited for our issue to be solved. We first made an appointment with him on a certain date and had to reschedule few days before due to a family affair. Peter was very understanding and changed our marriage date with the one we liked to be chosen. Our marriage certificate came in the mail box in only 6 weeks during pandemic. Amazing Officiant and Person! I will recommend Peter to everyone.

Peter was extremely competent, efficient and patient despite having to work with a technologically challenged couple for an online ceremony. I would certainly recommend him to others.

Peter was the officiant for our wedding last summer. He was incredible! I found him through a google search looking for someone who was certified in New York and available on a relatively short turnaround. He was instrumental in helping us secure the permit for our wedding in Prospect Park, even though he normally doesn’t perform weddings there. He also took the time to get to know me and my fiancé (now husband). He worked with us to create a very personal wedding service and a beautiful ceremony. We booked one of his wedding packages, which included a photographer, a bouquet and a boutonnière, which took a lot of pressure off of our planning. Everything was lovely! So grateful to have him as part of our special day.

From the moment we had a Zoom meeting with him, we just knew that Peter was the right person to officiate our wedding. His warmth, charm and impeccable public speaking skills set him apart from the other officiants we were considering. We felt heard and respected by Peter and he took the time to re-work our ceremony draft until it included exactly what we wanted. On the day of our wedding, he was prompt, arriving earlier than expected so we had plenty of time to ask questions and sign our marriage license without rushing. The ceremony exceeded our expectations, clearly Peter has a gift. Everyone was blown away by his warm yet commanding presence. He just has a way of putting everyone at ease and speaking so eloquently. Our close family was convinced we had known him for years! We truthfully cannot recommend him highly enough; he is a spectacular wedding officiant.

My husband and I were just married last weekend and Peter did an amazing job as the officiant. The words he spoke made our wedding so personal, and he was very gracious when we had to move our wedding date during the pandemic. He arrived exactly when he said he would, and he was extremely prepared for the ceremony. He has a strong presenter's voice that can work with or without an audio system, and he was so professional and warm-hearted on the day of the event and in all our communications. You can always count on Peter! Thank you so much for making our wedding the dream that it was!

Peter was pleasant to work with from beginning to end. He responds to emails quickly, his instructions are very clear on how to do a virtual ceremony. My now husband and I wanted something quick and to the point and he gave us just that. I am so happy I came across him he is overall a really great person!

Honestly we are so grateful and very happy with the way Peter made us feel during the ceremony. Peter made us feel like we knew him for many years, his energy and the way he carries himself is amazing. We would like to say thank you Peter for your hard work. I personally thought that by us getting married by an officiant it would be a couple of words and that’s it you know ? But no Peter blew our expectations out the water. He went above and beyond to make our day even more special. It was beautiful. It will be a day we will never forget.

Having Peter as our officiant may have been one of the best decisions we could have made. He was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process and took the time to understand us as a couple before crafting a ceremony that truly felt like reflected us. Even with multiple postponements Peter was understanding and worked with us to be sure everything went off without a hitch. We are still receiving compliments from everyone who witnessed our ceremony!

Peter was our officiant for our wedding on 4/17/21. From the beginning, we clicked with Peter. He was so easy to talk to and get along with. He was able to provide us with enough knowledge and ideas to make us feel comfortable with a person we never met in person officiating us. When Peter married us the day of our wedding, he felt more like a friend or family member. He kept the audience engaged and he officiated our wedding so effortlessly. We would recommend Peter to anyone. We can tell he takes his job seriously and cares so much about doing a nice job. We received so many compliments. Bonus - he also gave us a great recommendation for our honeymoon! Thank you so much!

Peter was just WONDERFUL!!! He was very helpful throughout the planning process and it was very easy to discuss everything with him. He also suggested options (which i personally loved) and gave ideas on how to make the ceremony memorable :) We had our ceremony outside in Dumbo and I would not change a thing! Thank you, Peter, for being our wedding officiant! I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Peter Boruchowitz was our officiant. He was absolutely amazing! He responded to all of emails quickly and was informative. His presence was calming and fun. My now husband and myself were a little nervous about not having a traditional wedding and Peter made it as normal as possible. somehow all though many words weren't said Peter made us feel like we knew him for a while. We definitely would recommend
