We eloped this summer and chose Rev. Annie -- great choice. First, she is organized, experienced, and informed about the practical matters of getting married in NYC (marriage license, site permits, etc). That matters more than people realize. Second, she can carry the structure of the service, or adjust as desired. We really appreciated her collaboration style and flexibility as we designed ours. Third, and maybe most importantly, Annie feels like someone you want leading your ceremony -- she got to know us quickly as a couple and made sure that her awareness was reflected in her own dialogue, which was thoughtful, caring, and meaningful throughout. She did a *perfect* job. We got married in Central Park, so we spent some time walking together, along with the photographer. At no point did sharing this intimate moment with her feel manufactured. She's just a lovely person with a knack for witnessing this experience in a genuine way. Annie, thanks so much for who you are and what you do! read more

Rev. Annie isn't just an officiant--she's the heart of the ceremony. From our very first call, we instantly felt at ease and knew we were in the right hands. Her thoughtful and well-organized questionnaire helped us not only understand how the ceremony would flow, but also reflect on what truly mattered to us as a couple. We couldn't do an in-person rehearsal, so we had a scheduled call instead. Honestly, nothing was missed. Annie made sure every detail was covered. On the wedding day, she showed up on time, brought great energy, and had such a calming, confident presence. Everything felt smooth and meaningful. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and will guide you through the process, book with Annie and cross one more thing off your to-do list. You won't be disappointed. read more

Reverend Annie was our first and only choice for our wedding. She totally had the vibe we were looking for and made our wedding day extra special.

Rev. Annie was absolutely amazing to work with! She was super responsive and really helped guide us through the process of getting married during COVID! She made us both feel very comfortable - both in the license signing process - and prior to the ceremony. She was a perfect host and really helped bring structure to our Zoom wedding. All of our friends and family thought she was warm, personable, and friendly. We could not have asked for a better officiant for our COVID wedding. read more

We were looking for a pandemic elopement in NYC and found Annie's website. She FAR exceeded our expectations! After a friendly chat, we booked her Simple Ceremony package.

Her attention to detail was incredible, even producing a pin for my Boutonniere. Rev Annie brought a uniqueness that transformed the ceremony into a sweet memory with close friends and family that we will cherish forever. Her words were beautiful and she masterfully guided us through the process. We recommend her whole heartedly. Thank you Annie! read more

Reverend Annie is an excellent officiant. She truly listened to our vision and crafted a ceremony that perfectly captured what we were looking for. Highly recommend! read more

My now wife and I recently eloped to NYC to get married. Due to the short-notice of our plans, we were initially planning on getting married at the Manhattan City Clerk's Office. However, after consulting with our photographer Cynthia Chung, we decided we should instead plan on having our ceremony somewhere else like Central Park and we needed to find an officiate. Cynthia gave us a couple of recommendations including Rev. Annie. We checked out her website and decided that we'd like to move forward with her so we reached out via her website contact form. She offers several tiers of ceremony, and we decided that for our intents and purposes we would go with her Simple Ceremony option. She quickly emailed us back and we scheduled a video-call consultation. She was extremely warm, friendly, and helpful! We told her our thoughts and ideas and what type of ceremony we were looking to have. She gave really helpful insight and advice and answered a ton of questions we had, especially regarding the legal aspects of marriage such as how to apply for and receive a marriage license. She gave several good location options and we eventually decided upon either having the ceremony on our hotel suite's private balcony (if it was large enough) or to have it in Central Park. She even helped us come up with a primary, secondary, and tertiary plan depending on how things ended up playing out such as the location, marriage license, etc. Due to the short-notice, she already had her mid-day timeslot reserved on our wedding day, so we decided upon her morning time slot. Even choosing the second-to-cheapest offering, Annie sent us a form to fill out to further get an understanding of what we expected from the ceremony. With the Simple Service, however, you aren't able to review the ceremony text beforehand. This was not an issue for us, and the ceremony was beautiful! On the day of the ceremony, Annie got there early to help walk us through how she was going to do the ceremony and work with me regarding the marriage license. The ceremony was very thoughtful and perfect for my wife and I. We will never forget our special day and the ceremony that Annie conducted for us. We would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a very experienced officiate, especially if you are also planning on eloping! read more

Annie did not officiate my wedding (me get married? get outta town!) BUT she did come to my journalism class and let us interview her for a profile. I think that somewhat qualifies me to comment here. What I saw was an incredibly sweet, charming woman who sees past cultural/religious differences and really focuses on the love between two people. She obviously loves her work and allows her positive energy to shine through. Annie was so nice to talk to and really radiated good vibes. I wish there were more people like her, this world would be a better place. If I ever got married, I'd love to hire her! I can't speak from experience on this but she seems really committed to customizing each wedding - she'll sit down with a couple and really go over the ritual/script, taking into account the peoples' backgrounds, religious/secular needs, family wishes, etc. She also does house and baby blessings. At first, I was hesitant to accept it because I am not a fan of religion but when I met her, I really saw what she was about - just uniting people regardless of any societal expectations, etc. It's all about the love! read more

Rev. Annie married my fiancé and I on a quiet COVID Friday. She was a great resource and a wonderful officiant.

Getting married in the time of Covid is difficult -- but choosing your officiant doesn't have to be. Rev. Annie helped us navigate the changing New York City guidelines with ease, so we were able to enjoy a beautiful Central Park wedding ceremony in early June 2021. Rev. Annie's attention to detail and thoughtful care made the whole process way less daunting than my husband and I could have ever imagined. Because Rev. Annie had walked us through everything beforehand (on Zoom and via email), my husband and I felt calm on the day of our wedding and were able to spend time enjoying with friends and family instead of worrying about the details. Rev. Annie helped us create a personal, intimate ceremony that reflected my husband and I as a couple while still retaining many traditional elements. My husband wanted to incorporate several traditions from the Church of England (as many of his family members could not travel from the UK due to Covid restrictions) and Rev. Annie incorporated these elements while balancing my own wants for a more modern ceremony. In the end, we had a beautiful, personalized wedding ceremony that many of our guests complimented in the days and weeks afterwards. I don't think there was a dry eye in sight! We truly cannot recommend Rev. Annie enough. read more

Reverend Annie was great. We had a small ceremony that included the two of us and two witnesses as we are having a big wedding in Latvia later this summer. Our ceremony was at Central Park and lasted probably 30 minutes. Prior to the ceremony, Reverend Annie asked us to fill in a questionnaire so she can develop her script and love story. We prepared our own vows. Her script/love story was amazing. It was romantic, personalized and contained some funny lines. We loved it. She managed to put us at ease and make us feel the love of the moment. Also, she did a great job of making sure we have our space in Central Park. It is also worth noting that from the first email communication, she responded with all the details that we needed to the extent that we didn't need to ask her any additional questions. We highly recommend Reverend Annie. - Olya & Adel read more

If you have to get married during a pandemic (or, actually, any time) choosing Rev Annie as your officiant is one of the best decisions you can make. read more

My husband and I were one of many couples who's wedding was displaced by Covid-19. While our reception is indefinitely postponed, we searched for someone to officiate us in the meantime. Rev Annie came highly recommended to us by a friend who works in the wedding industry. We went into the zoom signing ceremony without much expectations but it turned out to be a very memorable one. It was meant to just be our parents and us on the call but his grandma told everyone! We ended up having quite a few on the line and Annie accommodated us nevertheless with warmth and graciousness. She navigated the digital signing process professionally and we could not ask for more. Thank you Rev Annie! read more

We were looking for an officiant for our zoon wedding and was referred to Reverend Annie through a friend of a Wedding Planner who highly recommended her. From the very start Annie was very responsive to our inquiry and provided very full detailed information on the process and how she could help. We felt at ease immediately and never felt pressured into going with her (we spoke to a few officiants before her who were very salesy and pushy). Needless to say we went with the right choice. Annie was easy and warm personality showed the whole time through the ceremony and she was extremely helpful and patient when there were technical difficulties because of the zoom. She even followed up with us twice after things were done to make sure we knew where to file the Marriage License and if we had any additional questions. I will highly recommend her to anyone who needs a in-person officiant to their wedding ceremony or if they need someone who can just get the job done on a zoom ceremony (funny how it has come to this..). read more

I can't imagine anyone else marrying us - Annie was the epitome of professionalism and responsiveness, and she brought such warm and loving elements to the ceremony. She got to know us and that was reflected in her delivery. Everyone at the wedding was touched, and everyone thought she was a personal friend, that's how she made everyone feel, including us. She is the perfect choice if you want a personal and intimate and loving experience. Hire her! read more

We arranged a "Just Sign Our License" appointment with Rev. Annie, and she truly went above and beyond our expectations. We thought it would be a quick, in-and-out 30-minute situation, but Rev. Annie made the entire experience so personal and beautiful. We ended up bringing our rings even though we weren't sure if Rev. Annie would be able to incorporate that into this basic appointment, but she happily helped guide the flow of the meeting to allow us to have a special moment to exchange our rings. We could not be more grateful for the entire experience that Rev. Annie provided for us! Thank you so much, Rev. Annie! read more

Rev. Annie officiated our wedding in late September in Garrison and was a true pleasure to work with. After our initial meeting, we knew she was the perfect person to initiate our wedding. Rev. Annie came up with an initial ceremony which we refined and revised over the months before the wedding. For an additional fee she even came up from the city the day before to do a whole walk-through with the entire wedding party. On the day of the wedding, when we had a small mix up with busses, Annie helped keep us all calm and focused on what was important. We loved our ceremony as did several guests who came up to us to note how beautiful it was and how great Annie was! Cannot recommend Annie more enthusiastically!! read more

Our families absolutely loved it and we couldn't be happier with our day because of Annie! read more

We are so glad/lucky that we found/chose Annie as our officiant, our wedding planned in December this year in Taiwan was postponed to next year due to COVID-19, but Annie made our online small ceremony so warm, sweet, meaningful, and memorable. During the preparation, she was very responsive, professional, kind, patient, very easy to work with, provided helpful advices, and helped us brainstorm how we would like the zoom wedding to feel like.
