Peter was an exceptional officiant for our wedding. With a mix of English-speaking and Chinese-speaking guests, he made sure everyone felt included and enjoyed the ceremony, regardless of language barriers. Peter provided us with a thoughtful script, and after a few minor adjustments, it was exactly what we envisioned for our special day. His delivery was flawless—articulate, engaging, and highly professional.
We also incorporated a sand ceremony, which was Peter's wonderful suggestion, and it added a meaningful touch that we hadn’t initially considered. Throughout the planning process, he was incredibly responsive, always quick to reply to emails, and arrived early on the day of the wedding to ensure everything was in place.
We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a truly memorable wedding ceremony.

Peter was an amazing officiant! He responded quickly to every question we had and listened to our story to create a personal ceremony that reflected us. He even helped us to find the perfect blessing for my cousin to read. He made the entire process completely seamless. On the big day he arrived early and enthusiastic. He is so personable and well spoken. We are so grateful we found him and recommend him to everyone!

Professional and provided services. Well rehearsed, showed up on time, and well spoken - he was well prepared, did not stutter, and spoke with excellent speed while being eloquent. Very satisfied with his services and would hire again.

Peter is an outstanding officiant! My partner and I were having a difficult time picking an officiant with so many options in NYC. However, after one video chat with Peter, we knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding day. He was available by email, phone, or video chat any time we needed him, and he was a quick responder to even our smallest questions or concerns. We hired Peter about 10 months before the ceremony, and he communicated all the way up to the day of our wedding, keeping us informed on the wedding location, permit, and ceremony details. He created the perfect ceremony that really reflected us as a couple, and everyone who attended told us how wonderful, welcoming, and friendly he was from the minute they arrived to the ceremony location. If you are on the fence about choosing a wedding officiant, choose Peter! You will not find better!

A Perfect Wedding Experience with Peter!
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Peter as our wedding officiant. From the moment he responded to our initial inquiry, he was prompt and enthusiastic, setting the tone for a smooth and pleasant process. Peter's warm demeanor and genuine interest in our story made our initial Zoom meeting delightful. After that, the decision to choose him as our officiant was easy.
Peter's familiarity with our wedding venue, the Wythe, added an extra layer of confidence for us. His service included a custom ceremony, officiation, and license signing – a comprehensive package that proved invaluable.
Two months before the big day, Peter presented us with a beautifully crafted first draft of our ceremony, complete with alternate reading options that resonated with us. He seamlessly incorporated our personal touches, making the ceremony truly unique. Peter's assistance in choosing a unity ceremony was pivotal; his enthusiasm and flexibility shone through, especially when we opted for a blind contour drawing exercise. Not only did he explain the ritual eloquently during the ceremony, but he also volunteered to manage our drawing supplies, demonstrating his adaptability and professionalism.
On the wedding day, Peter was a perfect blend of professionalism and humor. He skillfully shared our story and guided us through our vows with a wonderful sense of timing. His ability to scout the ceremony layout ahead of time and offer suggestions to maximize the beauty of the scenic rooftop setting showcased his quick judgment and attention to detail.
Peter's friendly and flexible nature made him a joy to work with. He looked impeccable on our wedding day, effortlessly fitting in with our guests and the venue. Beyond his officiant duties, Peter intuitively positioned himself for optimal photo and video opportunities, capturing the breathtaking Manhattan skyline.
We wholeheartedly recommend Peter as an officiant who goes above and beyond to create a personalized, memorable, and joy-filled wedding ceremony. Thank you, Peter, for making our day truly special!

Perfection! Peter was amazing throughout our whole wedding journey from 1st email and zoom call until the big day. He advised us throughout, from the perfect spot in Central Park for our ceremony, to giving us lots of options for our vows. We chose to go with Peter because of how he made us feel on our first zoom appointment and he did not disappoint. What a lovely man! He organised the flowers and photographer for us and both were perfect. He was fantastic, professional and reassuring on the big day and the ceremony was beautiful. Thank you so much, highly highly recommended, made the whole process stress free and perfect.

Peter is an amazing officiant! We’re so happy we found him. He was super helpful with planning the ceremony and writing the script months before the wedding, very open to our thoughts and ideas, and he brought us some great ideas/readings himself that we wound up using. Right before the ceremony, he spoke to us to help us relax and helped us rehearse. So many guests complimented Peter and the ceremony later on in the night. He’s a great speaker and a great person. + He helped us navigate anything we needed to do before the wedding to make it legal in New Jersey.

PERFECT NYC wedding officiant!
We can’t speak highly enough of the service and communication that Peter provided us for our NYC elopement from Australia. He took the time to do a Zoom call with us to get to know us and us to get to know him. We immediately connected and knew Peter was the one to announce us as husband and wife. At short notice, Peter agreed to move our ceremony date due to forecast bad weather and we can’t thank him (or recommend him) enough.

Thank you Peter! For something as big as your wedding, hiring an Officiant online can be scary. But Peter quickly put our stress at ease. Peter's quick replies via email or text are out of this world. From start to finish he answered all of our questions and took the time to really get to know us as a couple. What REALLY stood out? Transparent pricing and process. He even showed up extra early on the big day. And most importantly, our families loved him too. You can tell he deeply loves what he does. Thank you for everything, Peter—the ceremony was spectacular. Truly fantastic experience all-around. We couldn't be more thrilled!

Fantastic experience! Peter was fantastic. We wanted a sweet, simple ceremony that was short and to the point. He delivered 100% - his remarks were poignant, meaningful and brief. He didn’t carry on or drag anything out, but he also made us feel like he was truly celebrating us as a couple. He was really great and we’d recommend him a million times over!

Professional Personal and Charasmatic! Peter was a perfect balance of professionalism and personal touch. He also had a certain charisma that the audience was attracted to. My wife and I both provided our own stories on how we first met, and individually shared with Peter. Peter did a fantastic job of combining both of our stories, which we and the audience found entertaining.
We spoke with many officiants before landing with Peter. And we are thrilled we made the right choice.
Thank you!

Before we decided that Peter would our Wedding Officiant, we actually met with 3 other people, and had decided on one. However, once we spoke to Peter on our first touch base, it was clear from the outset that he was the only man for the job! He understood and loved our story just as much as we did, and then provided us with the most beautiful ceremony we could imagine. Peter was very professional, an hour early, which is better than an hour late!, and and helped make our day extra special by incorporating both our Irish and American heritages. Both our family and friends were and still are telling us how beautiful it was. We would highly recommend Peter as your Wedding Officiant. A++

Peter officiated our wedding at Palma. He was absolutely fantastic from the initial emails all the way to his delivery on our wedding day. His communication was excellent and he seemed to answer my questions/concerns before I could ask. We had many compliments on our ceremony and everyone wanted to know where we found him! I truly feel he is the best of the best.

When we decided to do a destination wedding the first and most important thing was to find the perfect officiant who could help us not just with the ceremony but also with all the other services (e.g. makeup, hair, flowers, musician, photographer). After the first zoom meeting with Peter we were sure we wanted to do this whole crazy thing with him. We chose his 'Full Wedding Package' that was a wise decision. I think I was the calmest bride ever. Peter organized everything how we asked. There was nothing that we would change. Even after sending just pictures and colours by e-mail I had the most beautiful bouquet in the world! Or at least how I imagined/wanted it. :) He gave very practical advice as well. Everything went smoothly on The Big Day. We had our wedding in Central Park with our family and the closest friends on the beautiful spot of Ladies Pavilion. The ceremony was heart warming with the mixture of Peter's and my closest friend's speech. Peter supported all our wishes about the wedding and did everything to feel ourselves calm, satisfied and happy.

Although our event was several months ago, I still keep thinking about the great job Peter did officiating at our vow renewals. He did his homework, helped us design the perfect vows, was highly professional and caring. It was just as memorable as our original wedding and Peter helped make that possible. I would highly recommend him as the officiant of choice. Thank you again, Peter!!

Peter officiated our wedding in Central Park. He brought a natural friendliness, warmth, and familiarity to the whole process, so much so that many of our guests thought that surely we must have known him for a long time! His words were beautiful and delivered impeccably, and he is very easy to work with. It helped that he has so much experience with weddings, so he was able to answer any questions I had about certain aspects of the ceremony. We highly, highly recommend him!!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better officiant than Peter. He made the entire preparation process seamless (and we had a very quick timeline/turnaround!), made sure all our needs were met & accommodated, took care of reserving the space for our ceremony in Central Park, AND was an absolute hit with our families. Literally every one of our guests complimented his kindness, his energy, and how wonderful the ceremony was written & delivered. If we could do it all again, we would pick Peter every time - truly above & beyond!
