Your families will thank you for getting somebody who makes the ceremony light while still making clear how beautiful it is that you found each other. I officiate all over the US.

Illuminating Ceremonies was the perfect choice for our wedding. From the very first interaction, we knew Chris was the person for us. He is a true professional and clearly an expert at his craft, skillfully capturing our love story through thoughtful, creative, and engaging storytelling. He took the time to get to know us and what makes us unique to build the perfect flow for our ceremony. It was my favorite part of the wedding! Even on a very hot day, he kept our guests entertained and upbeat, there was both continuous laughter and happy tears throughout the ceremony. The perfect balance and tone for us! Many guests commented to us that they typically don't enjoy wedding ceremonies, but ours was highly entertaining and heartfelt.

Miriam performed a commitment ceremony for my fiancé and I with only a couple of weeks notice so that a terminally ill family member could be part of our wedding celebration. She was so helpful! She wrote a beautiful ceremony and on the day she was so flexible and accommodating when we needed a bit more time to get our terminally ill family member ready. We are so grateful to her and would recommend her to everyone!

NY Wedding Rabbi Lev Herrnson serves individuals and couples from Reform, Conservative and unaffiliated families. He has great sensitivity to the challenges of being Jewish in the modern world—because of his own Jewish journey and varied experiences--and therefore welcomes women and men from all walks of Jewish life. His philosophy reflects openness to innovation and respect for tradition. Rabbi Lev officiates at celebrations in the NY area and at destination locations.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Rabbi Lev officiate our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, warm, and engaging presence to lead us through such a meaningful day. From the very beginning, he took the time to really get to know us meeting with us multiple times over Zoom and then in person leading up to the wedding. He made us feel seen and understood, and he helped shape a ceremony that felt uniquely “us.” As someone who had recently converted to Judaism, I was especially grateful for how inclusive and welcoming Rabbi Lev was not just to me, but to my entire family, many of whom were unfamiliar with Jewish traditions. He struck the perfect balance between spirituality, tradition, and accessibility, explaining the different elements of the ceremony in a light and meaningful way. He brought humor, warmth, and wisdom, and truly made everyone feel a part of the moment. We’re still getting compliments from family and friends about how special the ceremony was and how memorable Rabbi Lev made it. Rabbi Lev has a gift for creating connection, and we are so grateful to have had him with us for multiple deeply personal and joyful occasions. Don’t think twice about having him be part of your special moments you will be in the very best hands.

My partner and I already planned a bigger wedding in Las Vegas since I will be moving to Las Vegas to join my partner. However, I’ve always adored NYC. I wanted to have something of treasure from NY state that will always be a part of me in addition to my academic degrees. So, having our marriage certificate would just be an icing on the cake and very important to me. But the problem, getting a wedding date with the NYC city clerk was impossible for our desired date. This was how I was referred to Once Upon A Vow! Working with this business to make our wedding ceremony so magical was one of the best decision we ever made. Dani who is our officiant, literally took away all the stress. Dani is very professional, communicative, resourceful, committed to giving the best wedding experience and always willing to give her expert opinions, all at an affordable fee.

I'm here to make that moment you never want to forget memorable. Life is about exploring and embracing all this world has. Let me help tell your story.

It has been a longtime dream of mine ever since I saw Gossip Girl to have a iconic moment in NYC. With me going absolutely crazy with my best friend and fiancé in SoHo, Tribeca and all of the spots. I thought it would always be cool to get married in the winter but I decided I am more of a spring girly. So my fiancé suggested we do elopement when we go to NYC in May for our 4 anniversary. I that that was a wonderful idea, but I wanted a big fancy wedding. He said we can do both because he knew the wedding was going to be really expensive. So I did some research and that's how I found Crafting Soulful Stories. Charles was so warm and funny and gelled with my fiancé and I Zack. I knew he would be the perfect officiant for my big day. He helped planned the ceremony to absolute perfection. Also him and Zack surprised me with both of our parents to come to our ceremony. Charles made sure to included some inside jokes and many touching remarks about Zack's and I's story. I stress that everyone that lives in New York or visiting the city and getting married that Charles should be your officiant. He has such a way with words, and he made me cry. He is the best, so I absolutely recommend Crafting Soulful Stories. P.S. Zack is not slick he is still going to give me my Big Gay Wedding in 2025.

If you want a secular but meaningful ceremony; if you’re spiritual but not religious; if the traditional vows don’t resonate; or if you’d like to incorporate nature-based aspects to your day, I would love to create your wedding ceremony. I am an ordained animist minister specializing in deeply personal and sacred weddings and vow renewals for couples of all orientations. As an officiant/celebrant, I serve the Hudson Valley and Tri-state areas, as well as NYC, New Jersey, western Massachusetts, and northern Pennsylvania. Other locations are possible– let’s talk!
