Why Knot Wed

Why Knot Wed is a wedding officiant service serving New York City and Long Island, creating heartfelt, personalized ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique love story. From joyful celebrations to intimate elopements, LGBTQ+ weddings, and vow renewals, every ceremony is thoughtfully written with warmth and intention. As your officiant, I help set a calm, welcoming tone so you and your guests can be fully present in the moment. Through personal conversations and custom writing, your ceremony is crafted around your journey, values, and promises—so it feels meaningful, authentic, and truly yours.

When our intended officiant was unavailable for our short-notice elopement in NYC, found Jenn on Thumbtack. She responded within a few minutes, & offered to chat that evening (at 10 p.m., no less!). I felt so comfortable with her after our conversation that I booked her immediately. Her professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm for what she does put me so at ease - a blessing when one suddenly has to pull off an impromptu wedding in NYC, while living in another state ... with 10 days notice. She checked in with me regularly to ensure everything was moving along well, which was reassuring (when you feel you're herding cats, it's great to have a German Shepherd reliably in the wings). She knows the marriage requirements in NY well, and was a helpful resource. The contract she sent over was transparent & clear re: terms, timing, expectations, etc. I was surprised when she sent a few questions to me and my fiancé, so that she could craft our vows; I hadn't expected that kind of personal, heartfelt interest in our marriage ceremony. She then delivered to us her draft of our vows, in the event we had any edits for her (absolutely none). We met in-person for the first time at the clock in Grand Central - she arrived early (we arrived within the 15-min. grace period) and met up with our photographer. One presumes that a wedding officiant one selects online will be purely transactional - fill out the forms, say the words, sign the paper, thank you, goodbye. I hadn't expected the sudden emotion of speaking our vows, even just alone in the middle of Grand Central on the busy afternoon before Thanksgiving. Jenn was so on top of everything - selecting, with our photographer, the perfect spot for our ceremony, in the Grand Hall; handling the little things one might not have thought about (where do I set down my wrap/purse/bouquet, while I say my vows?) ... She was so warm and had made such effort to learn about us in a short period of time. I was so focused on my fiancé and on her during the ceremony that I didn't even notice the crowd of people who'd surrounded us during our vows (until we kissed, and they cheered). I'm so glad that she was the person to marry us. She enabled me to relax and let the joy of it all to happen, without worrying about a thing. I'm calling it the, 'Jenn Vows Bubble' - even amidst hundreds of strangers, it felt as though our wedding was taking place in a private little space with just Jenn, me and my (now) husband. I could not recommend Jenn more highly as an officiant!

I figure if you are here reading this, you are busy with a thousand things, planning your wedding. Certainly one of the most important decisions will be to choose the person who will be your officiant--who will perform your ceremony? My wife and I had the honor and pleasure of working with Barbara Ann Michaels (Jester of the Peace) this year. We were married in July and decided upon Barbara after looking at many other options. A friend recommended her services. And WOW! I am so glad we had Barbara! I could list so many accolades: But most important to me was that she immediately bonded with us. We met once in person and then we regularly did our planning via Zoom. She helped us design a wedding ceremony that fit our personalities and style. She supported us through the whole process, being available for questions and tweaks to the planned service. It was to be OUR wedding! The wedding day itself was fabulous! Even before the service, she was there for us, with calming presence. The service itself, by design, allowed for some surprises and lots of spontaneity. We told our love story through a unique interview style. It was filled with joy and laughter along with the desired quiet solemn moments. My wife and I love that we had Barbara as our wedding officiant. She is totally professional and will meet all your wedding service needs! Choose her!

It’s time to celebrate the richness of your union as you fully explore this exciting time in your relationship. There is so much unknown and so much to decide as you plan your wedding and your marriage. I’m happy to help guide you through.Whether you’re getting married at a hip new loft in Brooklyn, or doing a ceremony overlooking the Hudson, together we can create something memorable and dare I say…magical! Love is love is love! I fully believe all couples have the legal right to marry. I proudly support the LGBTQ+ community and hold space and stand united with our BIPOC communities.

Hope was the officiant for our wedding and was the perfect decision for us! My partner and I are of different ethnicities and different religions. We struggled finding an officiant because we wanted 1) a neutral third-party; that 2) could provide a secular service; while 3) also incorporating some cultural aspects (e.g. Jewish breaking of the glass). That is a pretty tight line to walk, but Hope was incredibly thoughtful and flexible in her approach. We felt comfortable right away and well-understood during our exchanges. Hope nailed it pretty much on her first draft, and finalizing the ceremony was one of the most seamless parts of our planning. On the day of, Hope’s execution was amazing! We loved seeing her words come to life and she was one of the most talked about parts of our wedding. Our guests were impressed with her presence, her writing, and the atmosphere that she created to honor our relationship. We loved working with Hope and would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Dani from Once Upon A Vow was absolutely fantastic to work with on our wedding ceremony. We were having an elopement wedding from the UK to New York, Central Park so Dani’s communication was very important and she was excellent with sending us helpful and proactive emails in advance and throughout the process. We also had a helpful and fun video call to talk through our love story and relationship. Dani was really lovely, friendly, kind, inclusive, upbeat and fun! We felt so comfortable talking to her and knew she was going to be just perfect for officiating our special day. Our ceremony was at the peak of a heat wave in the middle of Central Park and Dani was so professional and read such a thoughtful, personal monologue about what is important to us and special about each other.

The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly second to none.

It felt like having a close friend officiate our wedding. Jackie wrote a beautiful ceremony tailored to us as a couple, incorporating readings we had chosen. The entire ceremony was so much fun and really special. Being from the UK, the process of securing our marriage license would have been overwhelming, but Jackie broke it down into simple steps and made the experience feel like an adventure.

She had amazing energy from the start, and always found opportunities to step up and help out - for example: we had thought our dinner was a set menu but it turned out they were taking orders!

Hi, I’m Staci, the heart behind Marley Loves Drew. I believe wedding ceremonies should feel personal, meaningful, and truly reflective of the couple standing in front of me. With a background in nonprofit leadership and volunteer engagement across New York, I’ve spent my career helping people connect with what matters most—and weddings are one of life’s most beautiful moments to do exactly that. Whether your ceremony is intimate or lively, spiritual or non-religious, I work closely with couples to craft a ceremony that feels natural, heartfelt, and memorable for everyone present.

Staci was amazing! She was professional throughout the entire process, quick to respond, flexible, and very accommodating of our spiritual needs. Staci is both charming and witty, and the script she prepared for our ceremony perfectly captured our feelings and our love story. Her energy was light and warm, and we truly enjoyed working with her. Staci brings a holistic approach to officiating, thoughtfully including both partners while adding a personalized and organic touch that made the ceremony feel authentic and meaningful. We actually found Staci only 2–3 weeks before our ceremony, and she handled everything with such grace and care. She tailored our ceremony charmingly to honor multiple cultures and even wrote two thoughtful scripts about our “love story.” She also helped us incorporate a meaningful tribute to two close family members who had transitioned. Throughout the entire process: from planning to the ceremony itself, Staci was communicative, supportive, and even advocated for us at the venue to ensure our stage setup was exactly how we envisioned it. She even captured a few behind-the-scenes photos for us! Staci truly made our ceremony unique and special. If you’re looking for an officiant who is professional, thoughtful, inclusive, and able to create a personalized ceremony, I highly recommend booking with her. She was wonderful to work with and made our ceremony feel both personal and beautifully intentional!
